cadaver2k Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 If a weapon that has instant death/force rule shoots at target that it can't normally hurt even on a six to wound, would it do damage on a six? This came up in a game when a Gatling psilencer was shooting at a wraith knight (str 4 vs. T8) and was not sure if the instant death would help in that situation, failed the psychic test to make the weapon force so didn't bother looking in to it further.

pretre Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Not unless it has a special rule that says otherwise. Force requires a wound, iirc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Instant Death only applies when you wound the target. If you aren't sufficiently-high Strength to wound the target (or if you fail to wound for any other reason), it will have no effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, S4 can't wound T8. Back in the day when your SM choices were power swords and power fists, plus grenades didn't give attacks in melee, the Wraithlord was the reason to bring power fists. Otherwise you couldn't wound that pesky T8 MC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
