‘Automatically wounds’

That wording is a bit funky to me, automatically sounds like a mortal wound essentially that can’t be saved against.

[The Pounder]

Yeah, the wording is a bit off.

 

I’d say that it means you don’t have to roll to wound but saves etc are still taken.

 

If it did operate like Mortal Wounds it would be proper op!

Actually the Ruling is pretty clear.

A attack follow this few steps:

1.hit roll

2.wound roll

3.allocate attacks

4.saving throws

5.inflict Damage

 

What hammer of the emperor does is simply to let you skip step 2 and go right to step 3.

The very first sentence of step 3 is "if an attack succesfully wounds the target unit,...."

So should be pretty clear. Mortal wounds are nowhere mentioned at all

im looking at the wording right now and it says nothing of the sort.

 

It simply states all unmodified to hit rolls of 6 automatically wound.

This is a mechanic common to other units and weapons Domsto explains it clearly.

 

If you believe there is more to it than that best take it to the OR sub forum.
