i was playing against a tau player the other day and he informed me that my gray knights dont get feel no pain because his weapons were ap 1 or 2, i didnt argue cus im not great for knowing rules but i figured i would ask you guys

That's the old rules, 5th ed

He was wrong. That was a 5th edition rule. The only thing that ignores fnp is instant death weapons

thanks guys i will let him know

And if he argues Feel No Pain is on page 35 in the 6th ed rulebook.

And not even a correct interpretation of the old rules, to boot.

Ap2 and ap1 did ignore FNP in fifth, so not sure what is incorrect there

hmmm, I swear that I originally read that as didn't give an armor save.............. That's what I was referring to.

To add to this: weapons whose strength double your toughness cause instant death. This is in addition to weapons with the Instant Death special rule.

The thread title gives the (incorrect) more general statement. The OP uses the more specific/correct ruling of AP 1/2.

Aahhh, that's where I got it.
