I had a chaos lord on a Juggernaut with the axe of blind furry.
My dumb luck I rolled a 1. Now I know that you automatically take a wound and your weapon skill for that turn goes to 1...and im cool with that (daemon weapons can suck sometimes).
Now the axe already makes you -1 on weapon skill...so my opponent instantly goes "oh...that means you have weapon skill 0...because it makes you weapon skill 1...then the axe itself is makes you another -1"
then he says that when you have a weapon skill of 0 then all his attacks are auto hits (like if your hitting a building)....something smells a bit fishy here.

Nope. In the rulebook, it lists that set modifiers are applied last so he would have WS 1.

See "Multiple Modifiers" on p2
Apply the -1 first, then set Modifer takes it to 1

Your friend is only right that a model that has WS0 is hit automatically in CC.

However, the -1 WS from the AoBF is already applied to the Chaos Lord from the start of the game, giving you WS5. It is not applied again. You are not taken down to WS0.

thanks...i thought so, just wanted some other opinions

Even if the -1WS was applied in all circumstances, it can't be reduced below 1.

I feel a citation is required for this statement.

BRB faq says Init can't be below one and all others can not be below 0.

I'm just going by memory here, I'm about 6000 miles away from my rulebook.

Characteristics MAY go down to 0, but in this case it's a matter of order of operations and doesn't matter
(in the main FAQ all characteristics cap at 0, except initiative which is capped at 1)
