object and armor question

[szma76]

So I wanted to make certain I understand how object and armor work together when the model is damaged? From the way i read it they are added together. But does this mean that object 2 and armor 3 would reduce damage 5 to 1 damage only?

Simple answer they stack with a min of 1 wound passing through.

The real difference between armor and object is that object will prevent wounds and armor wont.

If you take a hit that does say 4 damage and you have armor 2 armor would prevent 2. If you also had object to you would stop one of the 2 wounds but because it cant lower it more then 1 the target would take 1 wound

If an attack did 4 wounds armor does nothing but object will lower the wound down to 2.

Armor is applied to Damage, Object is applied to Wds.

As an example,

The Mannequin, had Armor +3 and Object 2

The Mannequin attacks makes a Bash attack against Copellius.

Coppelius flips a black joker on defense, and the Mannequin flips the red joker on the attack.

Mannequin successfully hits coppelius and inflict severe damage (a whopping 2 points) which kills Coppelius which triggers Coppelius Dying Dream ability which inflicts 4 Wds on the model that killed it (The Mannequin)

So in the this case since its Wds and not Dg, that means Armor does nothing to to reduce the Wds inflicts.

However since the Mannequin is Object 2, the 4 Wds that Coppelius inflict would be lessened to 2 Wds.

In the case of say, Lady Justice striking the Mannequin with her sword and doing severe damage

following this:

Lady Justice Sword Severe Damage: 6+1 (critical Strike) 7 Dg Total

Mannequin applies Armor +3: 4Dg (so since no other effects to lessen damage, becomes 4 Wds)

Mannequin applies Object 2: 2 Wds (4 Wds, lessened by 2 Wds)

Mannequin suffers 2 Wds total.
