Special Saves

(Rule)
Description: If a wound is not saved by the Armour Save, the defender may negate the attack with its Special Save, if it has one. Special Saves work like Armour saves, except they are unaffected by Armour Penetration.

A natural roll of ‘1’ or ‘2’ is always considered a failure.

There are two main types of Special Saves; Aegis and Regeneration, each explained in more detail in the Model Rules section. A model is only allowed to roll one Special Save roll for each attack.
