Suppose the opponent casts Smite on 11+ and rolls a 6 versus a Space Marine HQ with the SE... does he take only three wounds or all six?

It's half the damage done not wounds taken isn't it?

The mortal wound boxout on page 181 has the answer. Each mortal wound inflicts one point of damage. You half the damage, and round up, so it's still 1 wound per.

Of course each mortal wound inflicts one point of damage.

From 'Fast Dice Rolling', page 179 of the main rulebook:
Your opponent can then allocate the wounds one at a time, making the saving throws and suffering damage each time as appropriate.
Does that answer your question?

Don't have my RB with me but if that passage pertains to mortal wounds then yes it does thank you.

Mortal Wounds are each treated as a separate attack, so you can't total and halve them. It's not 6 Wounds that can be halved to 3. It's 6 x 1 Mortal Wound. As these can't be reduced the character would take all 6 Wounds.

I understand now - thanks. Even more reason to take the WLT that let's you ignore a wound on the roll of a 6.
