Long running and boring debate amongst all the usual suspects on Warseer. Can I just get some views please, so I know how people prefer it to be played.
Under the 5th Ed Poisoned Weapon rules, a weapon which wounds on a fixed number (eg always wounds on 4+) gets a reroll to wound if the attacker's S is equal to or higher than the defender's T. So my Agoniser (wounds on 4+) Archon has S3. Against a marine (T4) she's wounding on 4+. Against a guardsman (T3) she's still wounding on 4+, but with a poisoned weapon that is now rerollable.
My question is - does it have to say Poisoned Weapon in the weapon type to qualify, or does it automatically apply to any weapon which always wounds on a fixed number? The reason I ask is that Agonisers are wound on 4+, but don't have Poisoned in their description. Ironically, even poisoned blades wound on 2+, but aren't 'Poisoned'.
