Rules (2)
Hazardous
Weapons with **[HAZARDOUS]** in their profile are known as Hazardous weapons. Each time a unit is selected to shoot or fight, after that unit has resolved all of its attacks, for each Hazardous weapon that targets were selected for when resolving those attacks, that unit must take one Hazardous test. To do so, roll one D6: on a 1, that test is failed. For each failed test you must resolve the following sequence (resolve each failed test one at a time): 

■ If possible, select one model in that unit that has lost one or more wounds and is equipped with one or more Hazardous weapons. 
■ Otherwise, if possible, select one model in that unit (excluding **^^Character^^** models) equipped with one or more Hazardous weapons. 
■ Otherwise, select one **^^Character^^** model in that unit equipped with one or more Hazardous weapons. 

If a model was selected, that unit suffers 3 mortal wounds and when allocating those mortal wounds, they must be allocated to the selected model. 

If a unit from a player’s army is selected as the target of the Fire Overwatch Stratagem in their opponent’s Charge phase, any mortal wounds inflicted by Hazardous tests are allocated after the charging unit has ended its Charge move.
Devastating Wounds
Weapons with **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** in their profile are known as Devastating Wounds weapons. Each time an attack is made with such a weapon, if that attack scores a Critical Wound, no saving throw of any kind can be made against that attack (including invulnerable saving throws). Such attacks are only allocated to models after all other attacks made by the attacking unit have been allocated and resolved. After that attack is allocated and after any modifiers are applied, it inflicts a number of mortal wounds on the target equal to the Damage characteristic of that attack, instead of inflicting damage normally.
