If he can destroy a single enemy, he gets to advance 1" and gains one free attack. There is no limit, so if the enemy are clumped up he can mulch enemy infantry like a super-sized Pac Man.</div></div></div><br />

If they're attacked by Gerlak, they'll use Self-Sacrifice to halt the disabled-boxed-destroyed chain. This means Gerlak will never be able to destroy a model and he'll never get to start his rampage versus them.</div></div></div><br />
<p>Most other games on the market don't complicate the "death" of a playing piece - it's either alive and in play, or dead and not. Those games might have a 'Saving Throw', but that's about it.<br />
</p><p>Privateer Press, on the other hand, wanted a system where different "death" abilities could be resolved without ambiguities or conflict about which happens first. So we have a more nuanced four-step process for what happens when a model loses its last hitpoint.<br />
</p><br />
<ol><li> <b>Disabled</b><br />
<ul><li> You've been hit hard enough to stop fighting.</li><br />
<li> Things that trigger at this step are normally either something to let you keep fighting (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Tough" title="Tough">Tough</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Inhuman_Resolve" title="Inhuman Resolve">Inhuman Resolve</a>) or a booby-trap to punish the enemy for killing you (like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Thrall_Bomb" title="Thrall Bomb">Thrall Bomb</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Fiery_Explosion" title="Fiery Explosion">Fiery Explosion</a>).</li></ul></li><br />
<li> <b>Boxed</b><br />
<ul><li> You're all but dead. Last breath, walking towards the light, etc.</li><br />
<li> Things that trigger at this step are normally something of the attacker's that uses the last of your life energy for one last malicious act (like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Pyscho_Venom" title="Pyscho Venom">Pyscho Venom</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Bone_Shaker" title="Bone Shaker">Bone Shaker</a>, or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Eruption_of_Ash" title="Eruption of Ash">Eruption of Ash</a>).</li></ul></li><br />
<li> <b>Destroyed</b><br />
<ul><li> Now you're dead. (Or a wrecked <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Construct" title="Construct">construct</a> or a non-ambulatory <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Undead" title="Undead">undead</a>, respectively.)</li><br />
<li> Things that trigger at this step are mostly an attacker's bonus for successfully killing an enemy (like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Berserk" title="Berserk">Berserk</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Overtake" title="Overtake">Overtake</a>, or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Run_%26_Gun" title="Run &amp; Gun">Run &amp; Gun</a>); but occasionally it's a nearby survivor getting a bonus to help them get revenge (like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Righteous_Vengeance" title="Righteous Vengeance">Righteous Vengeance</a>).</li><br />
<li> After resolving those abilities, you then resolve the collection of any corpse token and soul token that might be relevant.</li></ul></li><br />
<li> <b>Remove from table</b><br />
<ul><li> Moving the physical model off the table is a separate step to it being destroyed. Mainly because several of the abilities triggered at step 3 depend on the exact position of the destroyed model. <br/>It is a bit rude to yank models off the table before your opponent has a chance to measure any Step 3 abilities.</li><br />
<li> Note that "Remove from <i>table</i>" is quite different to "Remove from <i>play</i>." More on that in the intermediate training article.</li></ul></li></ol><br />

<dl><dd> <b>D</b>isabled ⇨ <b>B</b>oxed ⇨ <b>De</b>stroyed.</dd></dl><br />
<p>Memorising the correct order to trigger abilities will streamline your turns greatly, rather than constantly looking up the rule book for <i>"was it boxed first then disabled, or ...?"</i><br />
</p><p>A useful mnemonic device is <i>"<b>D</b>on't <b>B</b>e <b>De</b>ad"</i> when you're being attacked, or <i>"<b>D</b>o <b>B</b>e <b>De</b>ad"</i> when you're the one doing the attacking. Just repeat these to yourself before you start rolling dice and you'll never need to consult the rulebook again.<br />
