Anti
This ability always takes the form **[ANTI-X Y+]**. Each time an attack is made with an **[ANTI]** weapon, if the target unit has the keyword denoted by **X**, an unmodified **wound roll** of **Y+** is a **critical wound**.
***Example:** An attack made with an **[ANTI-VEHICLE 4+]** weapon against a ^^**Vehicle**^^ unit will result in a **critical wound** on an unmodified **wound roll** of 4+, while an attack made with an **[ANTI-PSYKER 2+]** weapon against a ^^**Psyker**^^ unit will result in a **critical wound** on an unmodified **wound roll** of 2+.*
Devastating Wounds
Each time an attack made with a **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapon results in a **critical wound**, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of **mortal wounds** equal to the **D** characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks. 
**Mortal wounds** inflicted by **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each **critical wound**; any remaining **mortal wounds** inflicted by that attack are lost. 
**Example: An attack made with a **[DEVASTATING WOUNDS]** weapon with a **D** characteristic of 3 results in a **critical wound** against an Intercessor Squad, so inflicts 3 **mortal wounds**. The first 2 **mortal wounds** are sufficient to **destroy** 1 Intercessor model, so the remaining **mortal wound** is lost.*
Psychic
Each time an attack is made with a **[PSYCHIC]** weapon, you can ignore any or all modifiers to that attack’s **BS** or **WS** characteristic and any or all modifiers to the **hit roll**. Attacks made with **[PSYCHIC]** weapons are known as **psychic attacks** (this can be important for the triggering of other rules).
