So, reading through the SW codex, I found that the Frost Axe and Staff has the 'Ward' special rule. I've searched through the rulebook, nothing about it. Could anyone tell me what page it is on in the SW codex?

This is a reference to Matt Ward, your spiritual liege. Any weapon with the Ward rule wounds on a 1+, ignores all saves of any kind, and is instant death, even against models that would normally be immune to instant death. Also, after a model is slain by weapon with Ward, roll a D6. If the result is even, you immediately win the game.

Ward is simply Adamantium Will for the group of Rune weapons, pg 97.

Did you check the 'Wargear of the Fang' section of the codex?

What version of the book are you looking at?

FA and FS have Melee, Unwieldy and Melee respectively.

Are you looking at Runic weapons? It's listed right under the entry 'A model equipped with this weapon has the Adamantium Will special rule.'

1st thing I thought off when I saw

Ward
By: Matthew

Ah, thanks everyone, found it.

Also, DJGietzen, please don't. I

There is a reason why I named my Kill Team or GK Interceptors the "Hexagramic Wards". And that reason is because they are Righteous and Mighty!
