Multiple attacks at different times

This isn't the question you think... I know that if you have multiple attacks with some having strike first and stuff then you strike in that order. The question is what happens if your first attack stuns (or knocks down) the guy?

Example: Mutant wielding a spear with great claw and a scorpion tail gets 3 attacks. They are charged and take their spear attack first. If they miss, then the attacker goes, then the claw/tail attack. What happens if the spear hits though? The spear stuns the model. Do my claw/tail attacks then take them out of action, or can I not take them out of action on this turn because I just stunned them with the same model?

From the rulebook:

Note that a model with multiple attacks may not
stun/knock down and then automatically take a
warrior out of action during the same hand-to-hand
combat phase. The only way you can achieve this is to
have more than one of your models attacking the
same enemy.

The mutant will need to roll to hit and to wound on the tail/claw attacks as though the enemy was still standing. This is only because it is the same model during the same hand to hand combat phase.

Aha, that's what I was missing, you make those attacks as though the enemy is still standing. I remembered there being a rule about not being able to stun then take an enemy out of action with the same model, but I couldn't figure out what to do with the other attacks. It seemed wrong for the auto-OOA but losing those attacks also seemed wrong... looks like the answer was right in front of me the whole time. Thanks.

But what if you had 2 mutants standing next to eachother, both with spears and tails, both being charged by a single model?

Mutant #1 hits with spear, wounds, knocked down
Mutant #2 autohits with spear, doesn't wound
Mutant #1 ?????? with tail
Mutant #2 autothits with tail?

Thats what I thought your original question was, I'm kind of confused myself on that situation. Won't arise much since AFAIK the only guys who can get spear attacks and other attacks are mutants.

OR:

Mutant #1 misses with spear
Mutant #2 hits with spear, wounds, knocked down
Mutant #1 ?????? with tail
Mutant #2 ?????? with tail

Well, I'm putting together a mutant with spear, claw, and tail which is why this came up.

See, it seems weird no matter how you do it. If you have two models then the second model's attacks follow the rules for whatever happens from the first attacker. It seems weird that if you then had more attacks from the original attacker that he would have to roll to hit again... but it seems weird to be able to auto-hit a model you just knocked down with the same attacker.

Erg, cannot dual wield with spear... but... can claw-wield with spear? Erg.

In our local group's rules set, we ended up wording it this way:

Quote :

If the attacker's target is knocked down or stunned prior to any attacks being made by this attacker this turn (regardless which “speed category” is being resolved), the attack automatically hits.

It still doesn't quite feel right, but in the above Mutant case, both would continue to need to roll to hit their target throughout that HtH phase.
