Warhammer Arcane Magic

Warhammer Rulebook

Against living creatures, each unsaved wound causes 2 wounds. *Although worded slightly differently from other magic weapons that cause multiple wounds the Flail of Skulls works in exactly the same way - each unsaved wound inflicted on living opponents causes 2 wounds. Note that the normal flail rules also apply - the flail requires two hands to use and receives a +2 Strength bonus in the first turn of any hand-to-hand combat.

Magic Weapons Type

Magic weapons are generally described as swords or axes, but it would be rather petty minded to restrict items purely to models so armed. While you may wish to convert a favourite model so that its weapon matches your preferred magic armament, it is also acceptable to simply assume that a blade can be an axe, mace or whatever and vice versa. A few magic weapons are of specific type - notably lances and flails - and obviously you can't represent these with anything else. Remember that the normal bonuses for double-handed weapons, spears, etc don't usually apply to magic weapons. Any exceptions are noted on the card and below. Many weapons cause multiple wounds. Usually this is expressed as each unsaved wound = D6 wounds' or whatever. The procedure for this is always the same. First roll to hit as normal. If you hit roll to wound as normal. If you score a wound your enemy makes any save he is allowed. If he fails his save then you can roll to multiply up the wounds (D3, Do or whatever). Never, ever, multiply the wounds and attempt saves for each... not even if we forgot to write the word 'unsaved' in the original description! Note, however, that some weapons cause multiple hits (Hydra Sword). In this case roll to hit as normal. If you hit roll to multiply up the hits, then resolve each hit exactly as normal, saving against each wound scored.
