Subject: Axe of Khorne, Decapitating blow, and toughness 8.

The axe of khorne has a special rule called decapitating blow. Decapitating blow states that any to wound roll of a '6' has the instant death USR. I don't have my rule book to hand just my codex. What I want to know is how this interacts with say toughness 8. Say my lord runs into a wraithlord. Normally strength 4 in melee wouldn't be able to harm him. But if I then rolled a 6 to wound, does it therefor remove the model from play due to the instant death rule, or does it simply do nothing as the base strength isn't enough to do any harm?
Thanks in advance.

Instant Death doesn't say anything about wounding regardless of tougness. And th effect of Instant Death only affects a model that suffers a wound with it

The answer to your question is found in the 'Instant Death' rule.

-It does nothing. The model never suffered a wound because it was impossible therefore it doesn't suffer the effects of instant death.
