hi, i have a question. skarbrand's skill of doing damage 8 with total carnage, can the damage be stopped by skill like that of the Phoenix guards? I don't think because the skill of skarbrand tells: no saves can be taken against total carnage" so any ability that add further saves is denied. Is it right?
Second, if total carnage hit an enemy unit, for example clan rats (1 wound to model) how many models will be killed? one or eight ? because there is written: "one enemy model in the target unit loses 8 wounds", but when i assign the wounds the rules say "When inflicting damage, if you allocate a wound to a model, you must keep on allocating wounds to that model until either it is slain, or no more wounds remain to be allocated".
so i think that total carnage should kill eight clan rats.

Total carnage skips wound allocation; one (and only one) model loses 8 wounds and there is nothing that can stop it! This means the phoenix guard ability does not trigger, but also that it will only kill one clanrat.

Thats not true in the faq it says a weapon that does more then 1 damage can kill more then 1 model.

Q: Can an attack with more than 1 damage kill more than
one enemy?
A: Yes, as long as all the enemy models are from the
same unit.

NVM i am wrong it is too one model
