FAQ (GW) **Q.** If my Executioners choose to use hand weapons, do they still have the Killing Blow ability?
**A.** Yes, Killing Blow is a special rule for the troops, and is not tied to thier Draich. Note that Executioners do have hand weapons as all models are considered to be carrying a hand weapon in addition to their other weapons (unless specifically noted otherwise) as stated in Warhammer Chronicles 2004.
**S.** Dark Elves Army Book page 6 / Warhammer Chronicles 2004 page 121
Killing Blow Wound roll of 6 slays man sized opponent, no saving throw, no matter how many wounds. Ward save still applies.
