Hi there,

one question that I got from my last minigeddon battle.

An ork warbike formation assaults, two baneblade tanks (one of them has a commissar) the warbikes win by two points. The tanks lose so I have to distribute two additional points of damage to the formation (since they lost by two points).

Now the uncertain parts:
1) Since the losing formation consists of war engines do I have to split the damage or can I concentrate it on one unit?

2) The tank with the commissar is fearless so it does not get damage from losing an assault so I ignore all damage dealt to it that origins from the lost assault?

3) Can I combine 1 and 2 and thus ignore all damage from the lost assault?


Second situation

The broken super heavy tank formation receives fire from a ork blitz brigade. The tank closest to the blitz brigade is the one with the commissar in that case:


1) Do I ignore the damage received from coming under fire because part of the formation is fearless?
2) Do I perform a normal armor save on any hits that reach the unit(at least from the direction where the commissar is the closest unit)?


I think the situations can be similar for non war engine formations

This is explained in the fearless rule 2.1.3
Highlighted the part you need

Normal damage (not from losing the assault) gets assigned per 3.2.1 - you have to concentrate damage on one Baneblade until it's destroyed before you can assign normal damage to the other one.

I think Hena and dptdexys have covered everything else, but let us know.

Strictly speaking, shouldn't you assign normal damage hits up to each units damage capacity? If the Baneblade then saves those hits, it's not necessarily destroyed.

Good point!
