Authentic 11th edition mechanics
Every attack follows the correct 11th edition sequence: hit, then wound, then save, then damage — with Objective Control and Battle-shock shaping the battlefield.
Official dice mechanics
Hit rolls, wound rolls and saving throws resolved per the 11th edition core rules. Critical hits, lethal hits and hazardous rolls trigger exactly when they should.
Attack sequence rules →Weapon keywords
Devastating Wounds, Lethal Hits, Sustained Hits, Rapid Fire, Twin-Linked, Torrent, Blast, Melta and Hazardous all resolve in the attack sequence.
Weapon ability rules →Saves and Feel No Pain
Armour saves modified by AP, unmodifiable invulnerable saves, and Feel No Pain rolls for the truly resilient — now compared against both saves in 11th edition.
Saving throw rules →Phase-by-phase record
Every round's Command, Movement, Shooting, Charge and Fight phase, weapon by weapon, so you can see precisely where the battle turned.
