Q. What is the process when using TK weapons against a shielded titan
A. Taken from 3.2.5 Titan Killer weapons
Quote:
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.
(My emphasis)And the FAQ on 5.4.1 Imperial void shields
Q. How many void shields go down if a Titan is hit by a Titan Killer weapon that causes multiple points of damage?
A: One per each point of damage, with any left over being allocated to the unit.
So, the full process is
- Fire TK weapon
- For each TK shot that hits, allocate TK shot to the next unit in target formation and then determine number of TK hits caused by the shot
- Where a unit is shielded, reduce number of TK hits by available shields
- Apply remaining TK hits to target
Note
Eldar Holofields work slightly differently in that they can cause the TK weapon to miss. However if the TK weapon hits, then the target suffers the TK hits. So the Eldar process is
- Fire TK weapon
- For each TK shot, take Holofield save. If TK shot is not saved, determine number of TK hits
- apply TK hits to target
