I was playing a game and the group of people were split on a rule. I am probably wrong but hopefully someone hear can finally answer this question.
I'll use and example, if I hit and ork boy with a rocket and I got the hit would I still role to wound. The hit is double his strength so wouldn't that be an instant kill or do I still have to roll to wound. Does the same rule apply with template hits as well. It's an automatic hit but would the orks or w/e until still get a wound roll.

You still roll to wound. In both cases.

Double toughness only helps you once you've actually wounded and is obviously only helpful against multi-wound models.

Remember, too, that all rolls of 1 fail to wound. Hence there is always a 16.66% chance that a wound will fail to occur. Thus you must always roll to wound in all cases I know of, unless it is incredibly one-sided (i.e. a unit of 5 orks get targeted by 89 genestealer attacks, of which 49 hit. They wound on a 4+. Do you need to roll in this situation? you could, if you felt really lucky, but most players would save you some time and remove the unit)

ID specifically states UNSAVED wound. Meaning you have to cause a wound and they have to fail any applicable save.

cool now I can put the wound argument to a halt, thank you all.
