I shoot a lascannon at a unit that is protected by Grot Shields. I hit, wound, the save is failed, and I roll a 4 for damage. How many dead grots result?

Well your problem is you're rolling to save. The Ork Errata yesterday changed how the Grot Shields stratagem works. It's now the same rule as T'au Drone 'Savior Protocols', not a "bodyguard" rule.

How it works now is:
  • Roll to hit with Lascannon.
  • If To Hit roll is successful: Activate Stratagem.
  • Roll to wound.
  • If To Wound roll is successful: Roll for Grot Shields
  • If Grot Shield Passes: The entire wound is negated, and a single GRETCHIN is slain.
  • If Grot Shield Fails: The wound goes though, Roll to Save as normal, Inflict Damage as normal, Roll to Ignore Wounds as normal.

    Did you even bother checking the new FAQ posted yesterday? https://whc-cdn.games-workshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/warhammer_40000_orks_en.pdf

    That is answered there.

    To be fair, he might not have known they just put up the Ork FAQ. No need for any attitude about it.

    That is fair, especially considering how wonky GWs FAQ page can be with displaying new FAQS. I apologize if that seemed a bit snippy.
