So, now the daemonkin book is here and champions can take this upgrade, I have a rules question. If you roll a 6 to wound... Does it auto wound and have instant death? Would a strength 4 champion be able to instant kill a wraithknight for example?

**Captyn_Bob**

There's no reason to think it would...

You can't wound a T8 creature with a 6. So I wouldn't say so.

Where do the rules for Axe of Khorne say anything about auto-wounding?

(Hint: They don't. Instant Death does not cause automatic wounding.)

No need to be cheeky with the OP, just asking a question and has their rules confused

@Khaine's Wrath: There are some rules that allow you to auto-wound on a 6 (rending for example). Unfortunately, the Axe of Khone does not have rending, nor any rules that would allow an auto-wound on a six.
However, you can still potential one-shot a wraithknight, or lord for that matter, if you get the charge making you strength 5. At strength 4, models toughness 8 or higher cannot be wounded, but if you are strength 5 and you get a lucky 6 or two, and the model fails their invuln save, then yes... you could potentially kill a wraithknight with an Aspiring Champ

reminds me of when I tank-shocked a wraithknight equipped with a sword and he chose death or glory... failing by rolling ones both times... the model I used? a Khornate rhino lmao
