Gotrek Gurnisson Abilities

[Battlehammer Jelly Thyme]

Morning All,

 

This maybe obvious to some but after a recent game of Age of Sigmar we got into discussion over how we "understand" Gotrek Gurnissons abilities.

Specifically the Avatar of Grimnir ability. it reads
If the damage inflicted by an attack, spell or ability that targets or affects this model is greater than 1, change it to 1.

I read this as if the damage Charaterisitc of the the attacking unit is 2, that this will be changed to 1? 
so if the attacking unit lands 4 attacks  on Gurnisson and he fails 2 saves rolls, the most damage he can receive is 2 wounds(one per attack) or 1 wound for the entire attack?

 

I hope this reads okay? if anyone one can help out please let me know.

I believe it was 1 per attack

Although as a reminder a warplightning cannon will always only do 1mortal wounds to gortrek no matter how many dice you’ve rolled equal to the powerdice, since it’s shooting attack(s) is an ability and not really an attack

Hi @Skreech Verminking,

I agree with you on that one. and cheers for the heads up on cannon! 😃

Also: It is the actual damage that is changed,  it just the damage characteristic on the profile. So any effects that modify the damage, e.g. adding +1, is still all changed to 1.
