Special Saves
(Rule)Description: The attacked model now has a final chance to disregard a wound that was not saved by its Armour Save, provided it has a Special Save. There are different types of Special Saves, like Aegis (X) and Fortitude (X), both detailed in Model Rules.
To make aSpecial Save roll, roll a D6 for each wound that was not saved by the model's Armour Save.
• If X is given as adice roll (e.g. Aegis (4+)), X is the roll needed to successfully disregard the wound.
• If X is given as a modifier and with a maximum value (e.g.Fortitude (+1, max 3+)), the model gains this as a modifier to all its Special Save rolls of the same type , which cannot be increased to rolls better than the maximum value given in brackets. If the model doesn't have that type of Special Save, it instead gains a corresponding Special Save ((7 − X)+) (e.g. a model with Aegis (+2, max 4+) will gain Aegis (5+)).
If a model has more than oneSpecial Save, choose which one to use before rolling. Only a single Special Save can be used against each wound.
