Hi Guys

Last night a mate and I had a bit of an argument, his Chaptermaster with jump pack Thammer and Shield Eternal took D3 mortal wounds from Mortarions ability I rolled a 4 meaning he takes 2 mortal wound.

My understanding is each mortal wound does 1 damage and the single dice roll meaning he takes 2 wounds isn't halved by the shield which states it halves the damage.

Could I get your guys input it became fairly heated as 2 wounds was the kill and one meant he could swing to try to kill Morty who was on 3 wounds.

We ended up flipping a coin for it as we were running out of time.

Thanks

Ub

Mortal wounds are single. No damage to halve. Confirmed via faq

Thanks any idea which faq it might be

Each Mortal Wound is a separate attack causing 1 unsaveable Wound. You cannot half one, as it rounds back up to one. You don’t even need the FAQ if your opponent just reads the MW rules properly.

Q: Can Quantum Shielding be used to prevent damage caused by mortal wounds?
A: No. Mortal wounds are inflicted one at a time, and as quantum shielding can never prevent a single point of damage from being suffered, it cannot prevent mortal wounds.
