8th Ed. Blood Statuette of Spite and ward saves

Hi,

If something takes a wound from the statue but successfully saves the wound with a ward save, do they still take another toughness test?

 

I could see it going either way, but my first reading leads me to believe that you actually have to lose the wound before you take a second test.

 

the book says the model loses a wound, instead of suffers a wound, so I would say no ward save at all.

 

I the model loses a Wound then they take the test again. It allows Ward and Regeneration saves.

 

So basically, against the demons it has a 25% chance of working. Not sure if that is worth it.
