Page 42 of the rule book states that poisoned weapons ALWAYS wound on a set number. be that 2+ 3+ 4+ or 5+ (depending on the weapon)..
Also it states that if the strength of the wielder is the same or higher than the targets thoughness then failed to wound rolls may be re-rolled.
However, if you have a model with a poisoned weapon that wounds on 4+... and has a strength of say.... 6. Would you if striking a model with a low thoughness say 3, wound on a lower number? Or will you still wound on a 4+ for better (and in many cases worse) ?
It seems odd to me that a sword/claw coated in poison wielded by a strong person/alien/daemon will have a lower chance to wound low thoughness models than a normal CC weapon WITHOUT the poison.
Yes I know that logic does not usually aply to 40k rules , also my answer may be in my rules quote ".....always wounds on X+"..
Anyone else have any thoughts about this??
