Ok so it is about this phrase
'When a model is boxed by a Spellstorm Pistol attack...'

My question is, what does boxed mean? I'm going through my Prime mkII book and I can't find a definition. Could I get a page number or an explanation?

Sorry if this is a really basic question, thanks for the help.

Boxed is when all health boxes on a model have been filled, I.E, it dies.

Thanks a bunch. In trial games (against myself, but still) I've just ignored that part of his feat, since I didn't know how it worked... man have I been missing out.

When a model is destroyed, it goes through three steps: disabled, boxed, and actually destroyed. Some effects trigger on one of these steps, and if the model is removed from play, it is gone before the other steps can happen.

I don't have Prime MkII, but the index thing in Primal MkII is "boxed, disabled, destroyed". Go to that in the index and where it points to you in the book. The process is there.

And stuff.

Ah cheers, its under 'disabled and destroyed' on page 66. Thanks, the way you described it is pretty much right, Prime MkII says you are disabled upon the loss of your last wound/damage box, so resolve anything that happens on 'disabled'. Then you are boxed, resolve anything to do with boxed, then you are destroyed, triggering any relevant effects.

So now I understand completely, cheers blaque and chowder

Part of why I love this game. It's detailed enough that there are three separate stages just to kill a guy
