Yriel Doomed clarification

[Skarsi]

Okay Yriel has a doomed rule which makes him take one wound from his own weapon at the end of the game, witch is a singing speer that ignores armor saves. That means that there is about a 50% chance he is going to kill himself because the sing spear is strength 9 and he dosen`t have enternal warior so that means he is killing him self. This dosen`t seem right because who would take him in a kill piont game? Let me know if there is a part of this rule I missed.

[Chrysalis]

From what I can read, the special rule states that Yriel precisely takes 1 wound, no less, no more. And He's allowed to try his inv save

[archanfel]

the singing spear is only str 9 when hitting vehicles so its just basically a wound from a str 1 powerwep

[Empirespy]

he doesn't take a singing spear wound anyway, he just takes an automatic wound, which only his force shield can save.

[Sildani]

Also, he has the rule because, back when the Codex was released, a wounded IC granted half its points cost in Victory Points to your opponent.

[Skarsi]

Well, I talked to some people and they reminded me that he has a sing spear that ignores armor saves, a singing spear is basicly a super poisin weapon that wounds on a 2+ and strength 9 agianst vehicals, that means it dosent instant death him like i thought it did.

[Skarsi]

Also he takes a wound from his own weapon which is a sing spear that ignores armor saves, so he is wounded on a 2+ and then gets his invol

You're trying to dig into it too much. The rules state he takes one automatic wound which he gets his forceshield save as normal. There's no need to read any more into it than that. Plasma Guns don't inflict death on a Gets Hot result if the model has a toughness 3 - it only takes one wound with no armour saves. This is another case of a special rule. You follow the special rules - no more, no less.

Plasma Guns don't inflict death on a Gets Hot result if the model has a toughness 3 - it only takes one wound with armour saves allowed.

Fixed that for you, since you do get your normal armor save against a Gets Hot wound, regardless of the weapon statline.

If he took a hit from his own weapon then this would be the case, but since he takes a wound he doesn't need to roll to wound himself. He just takes the wound and rolls his inv save.

[Fangschrecken]

on the last turn could an enemy farseer make him double doomed?

[TheGreatDalmuti]

Yes but what is the point? You do not roll to wound for the doomed wound. So you can't reroll to wound for the doomed wound. You just take the wound.

Hehe say it out loud :P

[TheDoctor]

Yriel takes a wound. He gets to make an invulnerable save. He gets to re-roll the save if he has fortune on him at the end of the game.

If your opponent is being an idiot, then witchblades and singing spears have no strength value against models with a toughness. If he tries to say the wound is S9 against Yriel, then play the game so that ALL your witchblades are S9 against models with a toughness value.

In reality, it probably won't matter, as Yriel will have either died gloriously or somehow has survived intact.
