And boom goes the dynamite(or vehicle)

Here's the situation.
I use Oblits with MoN and Epidemus in my CSM/Daemon list. The Oblits shoot and destroy a vehicle with passengers.

Here's the question.
If a vehicle gets blown up from a model with MoN and the passengers take casualties, does that count toward the tally for Epidemus?

I could see that since the Oblits didn't target the passengers that it wouldn't count. On the other hand the caualties were caused by them indirectly so it would count.

What's the ruling here?

The vehicle was not a model with the Mark of Nurgle, nor is it a daemon of Nurgle. No tally bonus.

On the other hand, a Plague Drone is a Daemon of Nurgle, so one of those exploding will go toward the tally...

That's a toughy....if a whole unit of embarked passengers dies due to an explosion, just for instance, would that count as a Kill Point? If yes, then in Ramsey's example, the exploded passengers would count towards the Tally. If no, then they would not count towards the Tally.
My reasoning would be if the dead unit would count as a Kill Point in that unlikely complete exploded death result, then the enemy caused their death. If they wouldn't count as a Kill Point, it would be because their own vehicle caused their death, not the enemy.

Is that sensible?

I guess I'll have to put a disguise on my Epidemius, never mind that Easter Bunny amidst 20 Plaguebearers I'll have at Adepticon

Incidental effects like that don't give DE units a pain token, so with that precedent they shouldn't add to the tally either. Right?

I think since the damage has to directly come from a nurgle model, an exploding vehicle would not count.

Hmmm, it does make sense that the exploded deaths would not count towards the Tally with regard to the DE pain token example. Sounds fair that way, since the Nurgleys can get long range firepower now
