Do not make a wound roll or saving throw (including invulnerable saves) against a mortal wound – just allocate it as you would any other attack and inflict damage to a model in the target unit. Each mortal wound inflicts 1 point of damage on the target unit, and they are always applied one at a time. Some attacks inflict mortal wounds – these are so powerful that no armour or force field can withstand their fury. Similarly, if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be +2 or better, it is changed to be +1. This means that if, after all the cumulative modifiers to a hit roll have been calculated, the total modifier would be -2 or worse, it is changed to be -1. A hit roll can never be modified by more than -1 or +1. An unmodified hit roll of 6 always scores a hit, and an unmodified hit roll of 1 always fails. If an attack is made with a weapon that has an ability that says it ‘automatically hits the target’, no hit roll is made – that attack simply scores one hit on the target unit. If not, the attack fails and the attack sequence ends. If the result of the hit roll is equal to or greater than the attacking model’s Ballistic Skill (BS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a ranged weapon) or its Weapon Skill (WS) characteristic (if the attack is being made with a melee weapon), then that attack scores one hit against the target unit.
I recognize the fact that certain lists it would have a place, though I don't play those kinds of lists.When a model makes an attack, make one hit roll for that attack by rolling one D6. IMHO, Whirlwind Scorpious > Sicaran Arcus. I have a lot of experience with artillery and Scorpious though.
I have no practical experience with the Arcus, as no one in my meta has one. but that's a pretty tall order for a tank that has to have line of sight to its target for two turns. The Arcus gets 8 shots when it doesn't move. If you specialize the tank and your opponent doesn't bring the unit you specialize for, you just wasted those points- points you could have spent on multi-melta upgrades for your Rhinos, or a P-fist on your Sergeants. If you bought all those warheads, you'd have a 270 point tank- more than a Land Raider without it's durability. The Arcus has to pay points for all those special warheads, which are nice, but they make it into a "Jack of all trades" tank. Everything it shoots is a S8 AP3 3" blast, and when it sits still, it can fire 1+d3 of those shots. It doesn't require line of sight to shoot. You can field two Whirldwind Scorpious for the price of one Arcus.
