Q: What is the resolution order for an Attack with Sweep?

A: Attack roll(s) → if the Target is Hit, Sweep procs → damage roll(s) on all affected models → if at least one Wound is dealt to the Target, Finishing Strike can be used against the Target (with the possibility of another Sweep). (— Dockel)


Q: Can a Flying model be hit by a melee Sweep, and do models hit by Sweep count as targets?

A: A Flying model cannot be targeted by a melee attack (unless it chooses to melee attack itself), but it will take a Hit if it is within RCH of a Sweep attack that Hit another target. Per STK there is a single target; models hit by Sweep are not "targets". You can even Sweep Shrouded models if you can hit someone next to them — Sweeps are wide swings that land and don't have to be aimed. (— Dockel)


Q: What's the difference between Sweep and Cleave?

A: They work on different principles. Sweep is a wide arc attack (roll damage separately for each affected model), while Cleave is a single attack so powerful it deals double damage (one extra Wound as long as at least 1 Wound was dealt). (— Dockel)
