I don't have the book to hand but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have 6. The crew are its wound tokens so it has 3, guards probably go first, keeper is the last wound. I could be corrected..

That's an interesting question if the TK profile gives the guards and Priest a wound each because the TK books is an 8th edition release if I remember rightly. As Felderghast says, I believe it should only have 3 wounds (as marked on its profile) and the bodies just act as counters (in the order that Feld noted). I can't see it working any other way, but why the profile should give them separate wounds when they cannot be separated from the model is an interesting point.

It has 3 wounds.

Only 3 wounds, but T10. It has the war machine troop type so it uses the same rule for shooting attacks and servant removal.

Edit: Note that it also mean that the Ironcurse Icon's 6+ ward works against it if you play another army than dwarves.

It works exactly as an anvil of doom does. It has a collective pool of wounds, and as they go away, the models "die".

It has 5 wounds 3W from the Casket, 1W from the Keeper and 1W from the Casket guard... but it's not like a monster with three different entities, it's a wound pool of 5.. The Tomb King player actually gets to choose from where he remove the wounds, so if he took 3 wounds he could put 2 of them o nthe casket itself and then 1 on the keeper for example.

No. It has 3 wounds: 2 guard and 1 keeper. BRB p.108 tells you to ignore the wounds characteristic of the machine, and use those of the remaining crew. In this respect it is no different to our own war machines.

And lastily.  Once you've shot it and got past that T10, if you manage to kill it, make sure you don't have any friendly Dwarves stood anywhere nearby as it goes BOOM !!!

 No, the iron curse icon doesn't work.  The Iron curse icon specifies that it provides a 6+ ward save versus Shooting attacks.  The Casket uses a bound spell in the magic phase, so it doesn't apply.  As for the OP questions, it specifies what the crew are because they have different equipment and profiles.  The whole unit is only 3 wounds though.
