This came up in a game last night.

My Aryx gunship arrives and opens fire on a bunch of units with a 5+ save.
As it is a gunship, this means saves are reduced by 1, as described in the summary on page 41.
It's main armament has the Hyper Velocity Penetrator rule, meaning it also reduces the save by 1, as described on p56.
Page 56 also states that modifiers are accumulative, so in this case that would mean a total save modifier of 2.

Now here's the problem. The last line on pg41 below the summary seems to suggest that saves CANNOT be reduced beyond 6, while the HVP rules on page 56 say that a save CAN be reduced to no save at all.


So in this case, would the target with a normal 5+ save get a 6+ save or none at all.

You would still get a save of 6.
