I know what the BRB says but I heard an FAQ came out.

Quick clarification would be awesome as I'm just getting back into the game. Thanks!

Nope, nothing different about Invulnerable Saves here or here.

invul saves, cover saves and even armor can be taken against str D weapons unless the D weapon has something to remove the saves (namely most D weapons have ap 1 or 2, some are flamers) and invul saves can be taken unless the D weapon rolls a 6 on the D chart then no saves can be taken.

Does Feel No Pain count as a save?

It does not, however, the FnP rule says it cannot be used on Instant Death or Destroyer weapon wounds.

You may unless the attack rolls a 6 result which specifically says "ignores all saves". Cover and invulns are taken as normal against any 2-5 result.

REMEMBER: roll saves BEFORE determining the D3 results of 2-5 results on the D table. A single failed or passed save affects all D3 wounds, AND all D3 wounds are allocated to a single model and do not spread to the rest of the unit.

Roughly half of the whining revolving D weapons I've found are people who don't understand how they work. "A wraithknight rolled a 6 and wiped out my whole TH/SS squad with no saves!!!!!"

I'd probably say that half is a conservative estimate, but otherwise this. So much this.

Yeah, against one-wound models, don't even bother rolling the dice to determine how many wounds are dealt, unless you want to gloat about just how big of a bloody smear they left behind. It only slows the game down for no reason.
That is, of course, until Forge World come up with a Volkite D weapon….
