The Combat Drugs prevent the wound.
Although there are more ways to inflict "Instant Death" besides S>=2xT (the Eldar Wraithcannon does it automatically on a roll of a '6'), the Force Weapon is not one of these.
Although a Force Weapon can "kill a model outright", there is absolutely no reference to it causing instant death. It performs a similar function, but is ultimately not "Instant Death".
Not exactly my point. Sure, the combat drugs "ignore" the wound. But, as I recall, a Force weapon only requires an unsaved wound, in order to trigger the "kill model outright" ability. "Ignored" isn't a defined game term, but, by definition, the drugs also only trigger on an unsaved wound.
(Or am I remembering crooked? Book isn't at hand. If the Force Weapon actually requires that a wound be inflicted, the discussion is over.)
