Weapons Q&A
by Andy Chambers

Q: A multi-wound creature suffers instant death if hit with something big enough, right?

But what if he's on a bike and gets this +1 T from the bike? What T shall be used for the wounds taken? His natural T or his boosted T?

A: You should use the model’s _original_ toughness for working out instant kills. No modifiers for things like bikes, war gear or other special abilities are taken into account (for example, in Codex Chaos taking the Mark of Nurgle will add +1 to the models toughness, but you'd use the original toughness for outright kill purposes). This keeps a lid on players bumping up the toughness of multi-wound characters, making them very difficult to kill. It's not mentioned specifically anywhere in the rules, so we'll be putting a note about it in Chapter Approved in White Dwarf in the near future.

Q: Do sniper rifles affect the Wraithlord, Avatar, and Greater Demons.

A: Yes.

Q: Is cover on an ordnance determined

A) In line with the ordinance weapon
B) From the center of the blast

A: B.

Q: If something says that it allows "no armour save" does this mean:

a) very specifically no save which listed as an "armour save" may be taken (Rosarius Cortez, Rune Armor all save. Power armor does not.)
b) no save which is given by virtue of wearing armor (Rosarius, Cortez both save. Rune and Power armor do not.)
c) no save for anything, unless exceptions are given (Rosarius (taken instead of his normal armor save) still saves. Cortez, Rune and Power armor do not.)
d) no save for anything, period (All 4 fail.)

A: The answer is a.

Q: Can a model with two types of grenades use both at the same time? For example, a character with Blight and Frag charges an enemy in cover and claim to attack simultaneously _and_ impose a -1 to hit on the enemy?

A: Yes, you may use any and all grenades in the same turn.
