Can it be done? If a vanguard or ranger alpha is carrying the relic, pater radium, and the WK rolls a 6, fails the toughness test and pater radium roll is a 6, those 6 wounds (no armor saves allowed) could potential kill a WK in one turn, correct? Has anyone done it? I'd imagine, if a full assault on it was made, sneaking in 2-3 wounds with a 31 point alpha would be pretty neat. All 6 would make them a legend.

First the WK would need to fail a T test on a 6, then the AdMech player would need a roll of 6 for total number of wounds. Then the WK would get its invul saves (Pater Radium specifies no ARMOR saves allowed), and then it would get its FNP saves. So, sure, it's possible

The chances are 1:4670 of that happening.

So you're saying there's a chance?

Sure, there's a chance. I've seen way more unlikely things happen on the tabletop. Helbrecht tanking 16 powerfist wounds with his Iron Halo has a 1/65536 chance of happening but it still happened to me.

Exalted for reference!
