I know that Killing blow wouldn't kill monsterous creatures, but would it still go thru their armoursave and regensave?

I've always thought that was a HUGE oversight in the rules. If you roll a 6 with KB against something you can't kill outright, it should go through armor & regen. You can poison anything, why not let KB work that way?

KB does go thru armor. But you still get a ward/regen save if you have one.

Not exactly. You cannot take regen saves versus a Killing Blow, Midean.

Killing Blow - only works on Infantry, Cavalry & War Beasts.
  • Rolling a 6 to wound auto kills the opponent: "Armour saves and regeneration saves cannot be taken against a Killing Blow. A ward save can be attempted" (pg 72)
  • KB has no effect on anything 'bigger' (monstrous) or more numerous (swarms) than troop types listed above.

Heroic Killing Blow - functions exactly like KB but for any troop type except swarms.
