Can you stack ard as nails and the boss s boys for -2 on a wound roll?

Yes, but the end result will be capped at -1 to wound.
It would counter-act an opponent's +1 to wound though, so the end result is still -1.

From the Core Rules:
"An unmodified Wound roll of 6 is called a Critical Wound and
is always successful. An unmodified Wound roll of 1 always
fails. A Wound roll can never be modified by more than -1
or +1."

And then from the Designer's Commentary:
"■ Some dice rolls can never be modified by more than -1 or +1 (e.g.
Hit rolls). In such cases, after all the cumulative modifiers to a roll
have been calculated, if the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is
changed to -1. Similarly, after all the cumulative modifiers to a roll
have been calculated, if the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is
changed to +1."

Sure, but A Wound roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1.

hi all,
just wanted to check on something after reading this.
if i understand this correct it may be beneficial to stack my modifiers in the case that they have modifiers of their own correct?

for example, if they have a minus 1 to hit when shooting at them rule or something i may want to stack positive to hit modifiers of my own so that i can get a net +1 to hit.

is this correct?

Yes. The limit applies after you sum all modifiers.
