Almar Zamasee Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Forgive my ignorance brothers, but I was taught that one should never be ashamed when he does not know something, which is why I come to you. I've seen the Toughness 4(5) pop up a few times and I wonder what its function is. I mean, I can discern its meaning when it is with attacks, but when it comes to toughness, it leaves me baffled. This Toughness thing can be found with the Space Marine Bikers and some Ork units, and I'd like to know just how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It means you are wounded as toughness 5, but for purposes of instant death your toughness counts as a 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyescrossed Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Which means things Str8 and up kill you instantly, but Bolters will need to roll 5s or more to wound you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Pyro Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 indeed this represents bonus toughness granted by wargear, normaly a bike (or mark of nurgle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almar Zamasee Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thank you for your swift answer. I couldn't find what the double toughness values meant while going through my rulebook, but it seems your answer has given me the guidance I so sought.

Isiah Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 On p53 of the BRB it gives an explanation of how this applies to bikes under the heading Additional Protection. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
