Positioning is very important as you will see in the video; handguns are great but not when you are face to face with a Daemon. As with Blood Bowl and other reincarnations of Games Workshop tabletops, injuries are permanent and determined at the end of the round, your warrior may recover from being put out of action but they may be missing some body parts the next time you call them to battle.
