Apparently if you are just lopping people's heads off there's a reason the blade is flat or rounded rather than pointed, but I think that applies mostly to chopping off heads in an actual execution, not cutting the head off someone who's actively trying to not let you do that.

If you want to win the Necron Half of Indomitus mailed to your doorstep, along with some other minor goodies, I will be doing a raffle on Friday, 7th of August. You can have two raffle tickets - Here's how you get them.

Ticket 1: Tell me how you would paint your acquisition. I'm not expecting huge detail, here. I just like to get inspired by hearing about painting!

Ticket 2: Tell me about a really positive experience you had once with a hobby pal. Doesn't have to be long. This could be "We would always get together to play a game and end up drinking too much and watching Terminator 2 for some reason" or "I was really inspired with how great an opponent he was here's how".

In the name of fairness, I'll be putting every forums name into a Wheel Decide and sending the link to JIZZ DENOUEMENT for impartiality! Your submissions are due by 5PM PST, August 7th.

Thanks! I hope to see some cheerful stuff!

1: I think I'd go with bluecrons with yellow instead of the usual glowy green. I assure you this has nothing to do with the only paint I own being for rubric marines.

2. A buddy of mine from my usual board game group moved away from our city a few years back, and we'd basically lost contact until he got back in touch during quar to ask if I was interested in learning 40K. So I basically gained a fun habit and also a money sink during uncertain financial times. Oh well.

When I do sub assemblies, I use blue tac to keep my sub groups stuck to the spray surface so they don't fly away and over the connection points so I don't have to glue two pieces together covered in primer. You shouldn't run into any issues when removing the tac. Just leave it on till the primer completely dries.

When life throws lemons at you, nuke the fucker!
Help my aging brain out.

Intro'd the wife last night and couldn't figure something out (it was late and I may just have been too tired to see it in the rules).

I had a 4-man wraithblades unit charge 10 Boyz with a Nob (1 Wraith died shambling up the board).

That equates to 12 attacks for the wraiths.

She was caught up on my axes doing D3 wounds.

I hit (I think) 7 of the attacks. I rolled D3 for how many wounds, and got like 16 or something. She asked if that meant 16 models died, or just 4, because I only had 4 attacking models.

We had covered normal wounds and critical (or w/e they're called wounds) already.

I said 4 because the wounds wouldn't roll over and I was sure that a model has to make all attacks against a single model.

She questioned it enough that I kind of thought, poo poo, do the wounds from attacks 2-3 go somewhere else if the first attack wounds kill a model?

I'm still pretty sure I'm correct.

This is a bit mixed up and I'm not clear what you did precisely, so let me just say how things should have gone:

The 4 wraithblades attack the 10 Boyz with a Nob.

They roll to hit (3+) and and then they roll to wound (3+). Let's say you get 7 wounds, the orks get no armour save thanks to your -AP.

I assume you use a strat or something to give the Wraithblades d3 damage because by default they do 1 damage, you kill 7 orks. Why? Because each wound is allocated 1 at a time, then take the armour save, and then you would roll your d3 for damage. Because Ork Boyz only have 1 wound, you would allocate one wound, in theory you'd roll d3, the ork would die, and repeat until you're out of the 7 wounds. The extra damage isn't carried over between models, unless it's mortal wounds, which are.

So long story short, assuming you scored 7 wounds with your rolling, you'd have killed 7 orks. The number of attacking models is irrelevant, the number of their attacks are. A model with 3 attacks and each attack does 6 damage can still only kill 3 models maximum.

I've assumed they mean d3 damage because I've not seen anything that does D3 wounds off one hit. To be honest this will remain confusing so long as you "roll to wound" then "roll for damage" and then "take the damage from the wounds" but the terminology is all so baked into the game it's not easy to change.

Yeah the D3 damage is new to me (played when this never existed). I read it as that's how many wounds I do.

So basically, instead of the wound step provided above, I went straight to damage.

Is the damage profile then the "extra" wounds that something causes, or have I just mind f'd myself into oblivion here.

Edit: the wraiths had g axes which I believe are D3 (just to clarify that point).

Edit 2: re-read the attack rules. With the explanation above, I think I get it. Rolling damage for the boyz was pointless because I was doing 1 wound per succesful attack, regardless. And that its wound allocation, not attack allocation which seems like how I had it in my brain.

Yeah, you got it. You attack a number of times with each model in range of an enemy (either 1 inch itself, or within 1/2 inch of a model which within 1/2 inch of an enemy model - important if there are several ranks trying to fight) equal to the attacking models number of attacks - you can chose whatever weapon they have to attack with, but they still only get to attack a number of times equal to their attack statistic - unlike shooting, where you can shoot with all weapons you have, except grenades and pistols which have special rules.

Then depending on how many hits you made, you try to wound with those hits (str vs toughness). After you've wounded a number of times, the enemy then rolls an armor save for each 'wounding hit'. Then you roll damage for the wounding hits that weren't stopped by the armor. In this case, you skip the armor save, because orks have a 6+ armor save and your ghost axes have an AP of -3 and go right through the armor. You can also skip the damage roll (d3 for ghost axes) because orks only have 1 wound each and the damage from each 'wounding hit' that penetrated armor, doesn't bleed over to other orks (like it does in age of sigmar - generally only a few instances in 40k lets damage bleed over, the psychic ability smite is the most prominent, but plague flails also do it).

If there had been a painboy nearby (giving the orks a 6+ chance to ignore wounds), you'd roll the d3 damage roll for each of your axe hits that wounded and went through the armor, and then roll the painboy ignore wounds roll for each damage (if you rolled 2 on your d3, the ork would have to roll 2 6s to survive).

It is actually really confusing for new/returning players because they decided to call the hit points/health pool/ of the models 'wounds' (your wrathblades has 3 wounds, orks have 1 wound), but also call the strength vs toughness roll a 'wound roll' and also sometimes call taking damage 'taking wounds'.
