Hi all,
A quick question about Poisoned attacks. Does the auto-wound apply to strength/toughness combinations that normally would be impossible to wound? e.g. normally a S2 attack cannot wound something that is T8. However, if it is a poisoned S2 attack, does that mean that any hits that roll a 6 will wound, but then all other hits (i.e. those hits that were made with a dice roll other than a 6) would auto-fail the roll-to-wound step?
Wondering this particular for the Bale Taurus and whether it can avoid some of the poison meta.
Thanks

Yes, a poisoned hit will always wound automatically, even if the strength of the attack would normally be too low to wound.
