The follwing situation, in yesterday's game, a Plaguebearer unit was accompanied by a Nurgle Herald with the banner and the Locus. The question came up: Do the additional hits created by the Exalted Locus of Contagion benefit from the Armour Piercing rule granted by the Razor Standard?
Relevant Rules:
Armour Piercing
Wounds caused in close combat by a model with this special rule (or who is attacking with a weapon that has this special rule) inflict a further -1 armour save modifier, in addition to those for Strength.
For example, a Strength 4 model with the Armour Piercing special rule would inflict a -2 armour save modifier when striking in close combat, rather than the usual -1.
If a model has a weapon with the Armour Piercing rule, only attacks made or shots fired with the weapon are Armour Piercing.
Razor Standard
Models in a unit with the Razor Standard have the Armour Piercing special rule.
Exalted Locus of Contagion
If this model, or any model in his unit, scores a 6 To Hit with a Poisoned Attack, the target immediately suffers an additional automatic hit resolved at Strength 4.
To me, it boils down to the question, is the additional hit caused by the model that struck the poisoned hit, then it benefits from AP, or is it caused by the Locus, which is not a model and therefore does not benefit from AP.
I lean towards the latter, but of course, there are other opinions. How do you see it?
