Tekhnomantis Forcing

When a Tekhnomantis uses his Sunring to force an Automata unit that unit suffers 2D10 or 1D10 damage depending on whether they pass the authority test or not. Given that these units have the Impenetrable rule does this mean on any rolls of 0 to 3 the damage is ignored or is this rule negated? Thanks...

Re: Order of operations

I'm not 100% I understand the question but when finding out the required value you compare the base stat of the attacker to the appropriate stat of the defender then with that number e.g. 6 apply any positive or negative modifiers.

Hope this has helped :)
