AGain, this is how the rules have worked since 2007. It is simply a wound with no armour saves, and is not the weapon that causes the wound, just rolling a 1 causes a wound with no armour saves

Kronk is right, but the rule (for curiosity's sake) is (from Pg. 93):

Adds an extra D6 attacks in close combat. Roll the dice every time the model is about to attack. If the result is a 1, the bound Daemon with the weapon rebels - the model may not make any attacks this round and suffers one wound with no armour saves allowed.

It says that on a roll of a 1 he takes an unsaved wound. This wound does not come from the weapon. In the example of a plasma gun Gets Hot, a T3 model does not suffer instant death from Gets Hot. Same situation here.

But there's no blissgiver in the new dex so don't worry about it so much.

As Sothas said, they pretty much trashed the daemon weapons in the new codex so Blissgiver is gone.

My best advice being a fellow ork player is to always refuse a challenge unless your opponent is going at the same initiative or less than you are.

also your painboy cannot be challenged as he is not a character model, nor any other member of your biker unit.

Wrong. Painboyz are characters per the appendix in the BRB. The FAQ has not changed this.

You can pretty much accept challenges from anyone who has S4 or lower, or anyone with less attacks than you've got wounds left. Crushing a character in close combat is always better than doing nothing, even when you lose some wounds in the process.
