I was wondering about gets hot rolls of a 1, can you take armor saves even if its a plasma weapon and also can you use feel no pain against wounds caused by a roll of a one using a gets hot plasma weapon?

I believe that in both cases you can but some of my friends were convinced differently so I just wanted to be sure.

thanks for any help with this.

You may take armor saves and you may take a FnP (assuming you have FnP) roll if plasma gets hot on you. Don't have my rulebook in front of me to point you to the correct sections so that you may see for yourself.

Ok, thats what I thought thank you for the fast reply.

Armor, Invuls, and FnP may be taken.

Its basically an AP - wound

The rules says you use any normal saves against the wound, so armor and FNP can be taken without question.

Try finding the Gets Hot section in the rulebook to show your friends.

seems like a reasonable suggestion, will probably never work on my friends.

That's why I keep my enemies close and my AOBR rulebook closer.

Why would it not work? The section says that armor saves may be taken. And if you are allowed to take armor saves, you are allowed to take a FNP roll barring strength 2 x tougness. (ex. terminator hit by krak missle.)

sigged

Rulebook page 31 - "Normal saves apply".

Get's Hot! is a result of rolling 1 on the to-hit roll, not a hit from the weapon you're using. In other words it's a Get's Hot! wound that has no AP value or special rules denying you anything.

edit: same as No Retreat! wounds are wounds from that special rule - they're not caused by the unit(s) you're fighting.
