Hi, I thought I had a handle on Destroyer until I played a guy yesterday and he raised a few questions during the game.
I hit a large unit of gaunts with a large blast (destroyer), and as my opponent had a Venomthrope nearby, he claimed his cover save. However, he took cover saves against HITS rather than WOUNDS. This makes a difference with D weapon since they are capable of being converted into
extra wounds rather than 1.
I played on regardless, but please, who was right?
Also, if the unit of gaunts was hit, and you rolled on the d-table, and got say, a 4....would EACH gaunt get 2 wounds?
Lastly (and this came up too), I targeted and hit a group of 3 zoanthropes, all under the same blast, would I roll on the d-table for each one separately, or all three together...ie, a single d-table roll for effect of the whole blast? I was unable to support my opinion yesterday as I could not find any reference either in the main rulebook or the Eldar codex.
Opinions please? Thanks for any help.
