Does this relic trigger before re-rolls? I figure that it works like over-charged plasma where you reroll initial 1s (assuming you have a re-roll available) and then deal with the consequences of any remaining 1s, but another player felt that they trigger on the initial 1 regardless.

Thoughts?

ps I do not have the Codex, and I didn't ask my opponent at the tourney to show me the rule as it was a pleasant game. It just seemed odd. It cost me my Ravenwing Champion, but the Suit of Knives don't stop Twin Assault Cannons...

Nothing triggers before re-rolls, except re-rolls and things that specifically say otherwise.
If you could post the exact wording of the artefact it would help a lot though.

Roll a D6 each time a hit roll of 1 is made for an enemy model targeting the wearer in the Fight phase. On a 2+, that model’s unit suffers a mortal wound after the unit has resolved all of its attacks.

Only triggers in the Fight phase.

It is after re-rolls, and after modifiers. Otherwise it would say something like an unmodified 1.

That makes more sense - next time we play I will bring it up before the game. Understandable, since the Codex dropped at midnight before the tourney.
