So I was having a game today, my Guard with an Imperial Knight vs Space Marines, and the knight ended up in combat with the Marine Captain. The Knight smashed him with Strength D and caused 3 wounds from 1 attack. So does the captain roll 3 invun saves (as 3 wounds were caused) or just 1 invun (as all the wounds came from 1 attack)? We played it as he took 3 saves but would like to know if we got that right (Didn't affect the game too much, Marines won 10-8).

Thanks!

He would make saves versus each wound caused.

You get no saves because it was from a StrD attack. Unless they errata'd StrD to not ignore invulns anymore.

Might want to read up on 7th Ed?
They don't ignore any saves at all on a 1-5.

Had this discussion recently, RAW you have to populate the wound pool before assign wounds from what I read.

(adding on as a footnote) But they do take the ap of the weapon involved into consideration.

Why wouldn't they?

Only one save
