So while placing carpet on tables a space wolves and necrons player gets into a heated debate over hell frost rule. So as I hear it the hell frost get to roll an extra attack for each unsaved wound. On first read an unsaved wound is a failed armour save. But someone that has already talked to games workshop stated that the hell frost gets the extra attack for each damage that takes a wound away.

An unsaved wound in the core rules is a failed armour save the after wound allocation damage is dealt in the manner of wounds lost so how.

I need page references for the rule book and the index and any supporting evidence for how this is to be done that come from gw.

An unsaved wound is the result of the armor save against a wound, then the model suffers damage equal to the damage of the weapon. For each point of damage suffered the model loses a wound.

If someone wanted to get really RAW pendantic the rulebook only covers suffering damage, and losing wounds - strict RAW models never suffer wounds.

However both don't matter, in this case. Helfrost per it's RAW says if the model suffers any unsaved wounds but is not slain roll a d6...on a 6...so it doesn't matter if it gets hit by 10 shots that do 3 damage each, or 1 that does 1 it's only a single d6 per weapon.

So regardless of the number wounds suffered it's only 1 roll, and as an unsaved wound has already passed point of being saveavle both have the same result. One single d6 roll, on a 6 = mortal wound.

Thank you very much. I don't use either army so I see a lot of there rules only in passing. I went back and found the hell frost rule as you stated it so that will keep the rule clear here.
