Titan Killer Weapons
Some units are armed with weapons that are noted as being Titan Killers (see 2.2.9). Many of these weapons are capable of taking down a war engine with a single shot. Enemy units hit by such weapons may not take a cover or armour save, even if they have reinforced armour. Note that cover to hit modifiers do apply.

In addition, Titan Killer weapons will usually have a dice roll noted in brackets on their data sheet. For example, the Volcano Cannon mounted on an Imperial Guard Shadowsword is noted as being a Titan Killer (D3) weapon. If such a weapon hits a war engine then the war engine suffers damage equal to the roll of the appropriate sort of dice. Each point of damage will reduce the war engine’s damage capacity by 1 point. Roll for critical hits for each point of damage inflicted. Titan Killer weapons that do not have a dice roll in brackets only inflict one point of damage.

When allocating Titan killer hits that may cause multiple points of damage, roll for damage immediately after allocating the hit. The War Engine counts as having been allocated a number of hits equal to the damage rolled. This is solely for purposes of allocation. Damage is applied as normal, only after all hits have been allocated.

You only roll the d3 when you hit a WE. Everything else just takes a single hit.

No saves for TK, unless it's an invulnerable save.

Procedure against most targets:

- Roll to hit (2+)
- If a hit is achieved: Go to one of the following: Infantry or Vehicle target (#1), War Engine Target (#2), Eldar War Engine Target with a Holofield (#3)

#1 - Target is hit with a single TK hit.

#2 - Roll a D3, the target War engine is hit with this many TK hits.

#3 - The Eldar player attempts to make a Holofield save (3+). If she fails her save, you may roll a D3, and the target War Engine is hit with this many TK hits. If she passes her Holofield save, the shot "missed" and no TK hits are applied.
