I was wondering if a wound inflicted with the Bladestorm special rule was able to negate the Feel No Pain USR..
The confusion arises from the fact that while the Feel No Pain USR states that it can be negated only by unsaved wounds that causes instant death, the bladestorm special rule states that whenever a 6 is rolled the target is automatically wounded at AP2, without saying anything about cover, invulnerable and feel no pain saves.

I didn't understand if that "automatically wounded" counts as an unsaved wound (meaning that you have to treat it as if all possible saves were failed) or if it just means that it directly goes to the pool of the wounds "to be saved"…. Which would make it useful only for those few MC that have a toughness of 8 or more.

Thanks in advance

Does Bladestorm cause Instant Death? If not FNP should apply as normal.

Bladestorm says something like this (i'm going by heart...):

"if you roll a 6 on the TO WOUND roll, then the wound count as automatically inflicted and with AP 2"

No.

Does Bladestorm cause Instant Death?

No, so you get FNP.

Nothing about Bladestorm forbids cover, invulnerable or FNP. Automatically wounds means just that, wounding regardless of toughness, you then make saves as normal. (Just like poison weapons automatically wound on a 4+)

Autowound, you still get an Invul/cover save & FNP.

Perfect, thank you very much
