Hey guys,
just wanting some clarification on this rules query:
The situation: Str10 weapon, Toughness 5 model, FnP (p165), Eternal Warrior (p163), Instant Death (p36 and p165).
So the weapon hits and a causes a unsaved wound and would normally cause instant death as per pages 36 and 165 (if strength is double toughness the shot has instant death rule, which basically means, removes all remaining wounds).
But if the model has Eternal Warrior, the instant death rules is amended to
Pretty clear, it doesn't die until you take all its wounds away, but, now throw in FnP.
It was played as because the model did not die, because it has eternal warrior, it gets FnP save, which is logical. I have to disagree with this.
To me, on a second read and now typing this out, it reads as though you're not immune to the ruling of Instant Death, just that your wounds are reduced by 1 and not to 0, the shot/wound still has the Instant Death rule and so you would not get a FnP save, as per the statement above (no FnP save may be taken against weapons with Instant Death rule).
But what do guys think?

Quote:If a model with this special rule suffers an unsaved wound from an attack that inflicts instant death, it only reduces its wounds by 1, instead of automatically reducing its wounds to 0
