I may have missed something when reading the rules but I have a question about ordnance, specifically fighters in waves.

Under the rules for Space Marine thunderhawks it says "...if a Thunderhawk marker uses its save to remain in play and comes into contact with another ordnance marker in the same ordnance phase, it is removed normally.)

My question is: If I split my fighters into 2 waves, do the second wave count as a seperate ordnance marker and negate the 4+ as above or are the counted as the same due to being from the same ship? I can't seem to find anything that says they are seperate even tho in theory they are.

Fighters in waves doesn't do anything, unless in waves with bombers. Aside from the fact that if passing through blast markers or shot at the "wave" would be destroyed together, they work independently. ie. if the wave of two fighters hit a torpedo marker, only one would be removed.

In your case, if a wave of two fighters tried to take down a thunderhawk, it would roll its save - if passed, it would take down the first and remain to take down the second, then disappear. If failed, it would take 1 of the 2 down and the other woud remain in play.
