Vect and his shadowfield and ghost plate

Saw a little room for interpretation here but I feel someone with a good sense of the mechanics can make this an easy answer.

If Vect is hit by a strength 6 shot and fails the shadowfield save, does he:

A. Die instantly

B. Gets to fall back on the ghost plate armor before determining a wound?

Sorry if this was mentioned before. Thanks.

pg. 24 - "the model only ever gets to make one saving throw"

Vect had his one chance, takes the Str 6 hit, instant death rules go into effect, and the Lord of the Dark City goes home in an itty bitty ditty bag after some enterprising use of a sponge. I looked over Shadowfield again and saw nothing that suggested it should circumvent that rule.

LOL, love it!

Thanks a bunch, Kwi

Also important to note, a model must always use it's best save, so if Vect falls of an explodig Raider or stumbles on a wreck, he has to make a 2+, instead of using the "safe method" of using his 4+save.

yup, the only reason he has Ghostplate on is so that if his Shadowfield fails, the Supreme Archon has something better than a 5+ to fall back on

Which further emphasises the fact that Vect should either be in CC or not on the table at all.
