Line 42:
** They also have Vorpal Blades. Regardless of how many hit points you have, removing your head will kill you (Unless you're a zombie or golem or something else that isn't strictly speaking alive to begin with or have extra heads)
** There are also Illithids, who can extract the brain of an enemy when grappling (assuming it has one, and actually uses it - Zombies, Golems and such are excluded again) as an instant-kill and an snack between meals.
* While most models in any given ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' or ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' are [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|One Hit Point Wonders]] from the outset (although GW calls them 'wounds'), there is still a rule that if any attack with a Strength stat twice or more that of the defender's Toughness stat scores a wound, that model is killed outright, no matter how many wounds it had left. The example given in the rule books is an ''average Super Soldier'' (trust us, it makes sense in the setting) taking a Krak (aka "Tank Buster") missile to the head -- it doesn't matter what kind of armor he's in (although [[Applied Phlebotinum|there are exceptions]]), a missile to the face is going to kill him.
** Averted for anyone with the "Eternal Warrior" special rule.
** The above is only 40K. In WFB many high-strength attacks do a random (usually D3 or D6) amount of damage instead. Which means yes, a level 1 mage with 2 wounds can survive being hit with a cannonball. Chariot bodies, on the other hand, go pop when hit with one. There's also an Instant Death rule - Killing Blow - in FB, but that is a special rule, not a general one.
