A unit with Toughness 4 and Armor 3 gets hit by a Strength 10 AP4 weapon.

He still gets a armor save right?

But if he fails that save, he dies, even if he has more than 1 wound right? And that's what instant death does, it kills multiple wound models in 1 shot?

Right.

Yeah str doesn't modify your save in any way, if the AP is higher than your armor it is just a normal save regardless of str. What it does modify is the feel no pain, if you are wounded by a weapon with high str you can't use feel no pain, examples of this:

Terminator paladins (2 wounds) get hit by a missile launcher AP3, terminators save on 2's, if he rolls a 1 it kills it eve thou it has 2 wounds.

On the feel no pain side a GK dread with the +1 str bullets on an autocannon shoots a plague marine, so it is a Str8 AP4 hit on the plague, usually the autocannon is str7 so if the plague misses his armor save he still can roll feel no pain to avoid the wound, however since the gks are the most OP thing out there their cannons are str8, meaning if the plague marine misses his armor save he is dead, no chances to use feel no pain.

Thhanks to you both.

great examples with the 7/8 str and feel no pain
