It is the other way around: in anechrome 's scenario, the single character is being charged. Although he would take the Break test without negative modifiers, there is at least a chance that he may fail his Break test and could be caught. Of course, the next round of close combat, advantage shifts to the single character - at least in theory. As Gaius Julius Caesar said: Fortuna, quae plurimum potest cum in reliquis rebus tum praecipue in bello, parvis momentis magnas rerum commutationes efficit (Fortune, which has a great deal of power in other matters but especially in war, can bring about great changes in a situation through very slight forces.) Shouldn’t the Character be testing at -1, since they lost to a Musician?

Impact Hits cannot kill the champion (provided that there are enough R&F models), because "Impact Hits are resolved at the very beginning of the close combat, before challenges are issued and attacks of any other kind are made" (BRB p.71), and "Unless a champion is slain by a direct attack, then he must be the last rank and file model to be removed as a casualty" (BRB p. 93). So a solo mino character charges a unit with a champion in it. Issues a challenge, it's accepted. You're saying the impact hits do not hit the champion at all? It's my understanding that the impact hits would only effect the challenge. Same with Stomps/Thunderstomps and things like breath weapons...

Make Way happens first, then Impact hits, then challenges are issued. Plague Censer Fog and Assassins have some special timing, but for most anything else, the above priority is how it goes.

Yeah, it's a funny scenario. Unit charges mighty Lord of Doom and Death, Lord makes an example out of their champion by turning him inside out and then having his mount eat the remains. Lord (has of chance of) get frightened of the rest of the unit and flies of the board never to be seen again.
