This isn't a big deal, but I want to make sure my oop are right:

Warpstone armour says it deals an automatic S4 hit every time you make your armour save.

Rat-hound body guards will automatically hit their master if they roll a '1' to hit. So...

If I roll a '1', successfully wound, and then save it with my armour, I take an automatic S4 hit, right? And if I wound myself, and then save that, I take another? So I'm not lying when I tell people that my Chieftain can dish out an infinite number of S4 auto-hits?

Like I said, it's not important. If I'm right, though, it's pretty funny.

It looks like it...I never saw that before

Ya, never seen that before...but it fits the skaven theme very well.

Warpstone armor specifically says it inflicts the S4 attack against "the model that struck the blow", but also mentions that it only works against blows struck in close combat. It could be argued that the armor hurting its wearer is not a close combat attack, and thus a successful save wouldn't generate another hit.

It could also be argued that you keep trying to fry your engineer until it fails to wound him! Ah... good ole Skyre ;D

Good call .

Yeah, Steamdragon. I think that might be it. "struck in close combat" translates closest to "close combat attack", but the wording is foggy at best.
