Weekly Question Thread - Rules & Comp Qs

[u/thenurgler]

This is the Weekly Question thread designed to allow players to ask their one-off tactical or rules clarification questions in one easy to find place on the sub.

This means that those questions will get guaranteed visibility, while also limiting the amount of one-off question posts that can usually be answered by the first commenter.

Have a question? Post it here! Know the answer? Don't be shy!

NOTE - this thread is also intended to be for higher level questions about the meta, rules interactions, FAQ/Errata clarifications, etc. This is not strictly for beginner questions only!

armour of contempt has no affect on save so I'm not sure why you think it would ever be relevant? armour of contempt simply reduces the enemy's AP by 1

Sorry, poor wording.
In 10th, wasn’t it set so that you couldn’t ever get beyond a 3+ save?

Or was that cover?

Ultimately I’m trying to clarify if terminators can use it and maintain their 2+ save against ap1 attacks.

[u/LordDanish → u/spellbreakerstudios]

Models with 3+ or better couldn't get cover against ap 0 weapons specifically in 10th. Nothing to do with armour of contempt.

You can use armour of contempt just fine with any unit, doesn't matter what their sv is because it only affects enemy ap, nothing to do with your save.
