Lord Executioner rule discrepancy

[beyondn00blike]

Hello,

New Age of Sigmar and Warhammer player here! I recently purchased the Soul Wars box, and started playing a few games against friends with Stormcast and Nighthaunt. I also bought the Nighthaunt and Stormcast Eternals battletomes (as well as the GHB2019).

My question is the Following :

On the warscroll card (from the Soul wars box) for the Lord Executioner, it says "If a wound roll for a Decapitating Greataxe is 6+, add 2 to the damage characteristic…"

But on the warscroll in the Nighthaunt battletome, it says "if an UNMODIFIED wound roll for a Decapitating Greataxe is 6+, add 2 to the damage characteristic…"

Which version is correct? If it's the former, then by using to-wound buffs on the Lord Executioner such as the aura from the Guardian of Souls, we could have an executioner decapitating foolish Stormcasts on 5+ or even 4+ with a specific artifact. That seems a little bit strong.

I would assume the latter is correct, for the sake of symmetry will all other "critical hits" rules I have seen on units so far, which Always mention UNMODIFIED rolls.

Additionally, I should mention that the Soul Wars box I own is in English, while the Nighthaunt battletome is in French (store didn't have it in English at the time). Maybe the discrepancy comes from the translation?

Looking online in FAQs and erratas, I didn't find the answer to my question.

Thanks for your help and have fun wargaming !

Whichever is newer, use the azyr app

The battletome one, also App that @flemingmma mentioned called Warhammer App, very usefull tool as it contains warscrolls for every single unit in AoS and Azyr is a roster-building tool available by monthly subscription
