Headshot, Stormlance, Gaping Maw; Saves?

[boombyeyeah]

Hi,

Can you roll saves against the mortal wounds these attacks can inflict on a roll of 6?

Examples:

Drakesworn Templars Stormlance: "..and the attack inflicts D6 mortal wounds instead of its normal damage"

The tzangor skyfires have a similar mechanic but their warscroll says: "... the attack sequence ends and the target immediately suffers D3 mortal wounds"

Hope someone can help.

If something causes mortal wounds, it skips the rest of the attack sequence and goes straight to the damage pool.
If the hit roll generates them, then no wound or save roll required.

an additional question: Do you have to do woundrolls for Headshots and hitrolls of 6 with a stormlance?

[Jharen]

If an ability enables the attack to cause mortal wounds on a hit roll or wound roll then you do not need to make any rolls after the mortal wound is triggered (unless specifically stated otherwise in the abilities rules).

from the 4-page rules under Mortal Wounds:

"Some attacks inflict mortal wounds. Do not make hit, wound or save rolls for a mortal wound – just allocate the wounds to models from the target unit..."

Thank you!
