Mortal wound interception cheese?

It's probably not worth it (either competitively, nor risking being :cuss), but look at what we can do with the rules.

 

Put a character out front in Terminator Armor and Storm Shield, followed by Company Veterans, interspersed with Cenobyte Servitors.

 

So 2+ 3++

 

If he fails those, the company vets take a mortal wound on a 2+, and ignore it on a 4+.

 

If the character takes a mortal wound, he ignores it on a 4+, or passes it to the veterans on a 2+, who then ignore it on a 4+.  Essentially we're ignoring mortal wounds almost 75% of the time!

 

Plenty of ways to get get around this, such as shooting the Cenobytes or the Company Vets first, but it's kind of hilarious against smite-spam armies.

This only works if you're only taking 1 Damage hits, as each Damage turns into it's own mortal wound, so a lascannon rolling a 6 will potentially kill your entire squad of company veterans in one hit.

 

It's a gimmick.

its a bit situationel - but i had such ideas to build a list around of it  too.
