Eternal Warrior states that you are only reduced by 1 wound from an attack that inflicts instant death. Does this mean that if you take d6+6 wounds from 1 Strength D weapon and you are toughness < 6 with eternal warrior, you only take 1 wound? I certainly know that if that's the case, that's not how my house rules will be played, because that would make higher toughness eternal warriors weaker than lower ones... Just wondering what you guys think?

Does D6+6 wounds have the special rule instant death?
Short answear nope, so eternal warriors can die with ease from Dweps..

It doesn't, but Strength D counts as Strength 10 for instant death purposes, so Toughness 5 and below it's instant death, while toughness 6 and above it isn't. That's my point. Toughness 5 Eternal Warriors might be able to survive Strength D weapons when toughness 6 ones can't.

Tell me of a eternal warrior with 8 wounds or more. in order to survie it.

That's my point. If say Abaddon gets hit by a Strength D weapon, does he lose 1 wound or d6+6? (assuming a 6 to wound) Eternal Warrior states that he only loses 1 wound from instant death weapons. So since he has eternal warrior, and that's an instant death attack, does he only lose 1 wound?

instant death is not the same as multiple wounds.

instant death states that if the strength is double the toughness the model is removed as a casualty. eternal warrior ignores this.

so what would happen is abbadon would take D6+6 wounds, and all of them would cause instant death, which he would ignore and only suffer one wound for each of the D6+6 wounds he received. then he would still lose at least 7 wounds and die anyway.

Exactly what i mean.. dunno why people have a hard time seeing this.

A Demon with Biomancy and the Exalted Demonic Reward that lets them gain a Wound (up to a maximum of 10) after killing models in close combat!

Ok, thank you for clarifying that for me
