Rules Clarification : Puncture and/or Incise     (Edit)

• The difference:

  Incise does auto-damage instead of a damage roll, so it occurs at Step 9 (damage roll) of the Attack Sequence. As a result, anything which prevents damage rolls (such as the Hermit's Mad Visions) can also prevent damage from Incise.

  Puncture does auto-damage to models hit, so it occurs at Step 8 (resolve effects triggered by hitting). As a result, Puncture is "immune" to stuff like Mad Visions.

• If Puncture is on an AOE weapon, then models caught in the AOE take 1 point of damage instead of blast damage. This means the AOE can hurt models with Dig In, Force Barrier, etc.
• The 1 point of auto-damage ignores ARM buffs. The 1 point of auto-damage never gains stuff like "+2 to damage rolls".
• This weapon automatically triggers "when this weapon/attack damages a model" effects (such as Drag, Backlash, etc).
