Hello. I was just wondering whether the "half the damage and round up" rule with Abaddons armour counts with individual shots. So yes, if he is shot with a bright lance with D6 damage then you half the number of wounds and round up if need be. What if he is hit by 20 bolters from the same unit? Does the total damage get cut in half? Or does it work on an individual basis!?

Thanks again.

Individual. A 6 damage Knight Titan Repaer Chainsword gets halved to 3 damage, but a 1 damage bolter gets halved to 1/2 damage, round up to 1.

Those twenty wounds are allocated individually, not en masse. You would halve the damage of each individual bolter, rounding up its damage.

Very good. So when I shot him with 20 shots and done 6 damage, it should have stayed at 6 damage even though they shot as a unit?

Correct.

I'd ask how they got 20 bolters in a unit with a bright lance in the same unit. Sounds like heretics fraternizing with filthy Aeldari Xenos to me.


You're correct about 6 damage from bolters staying at 6 damage.
