<br />
Today we have the concept artwork and pics for Helions. I am trying to keep up on the Dark Eldar information, but to be honest, I have fallen behind a little. Here they are with pics and some GW comments. <br />

Plastic is made for flying units - it's a lot easier to get dynamic poses in a lighter material and the model could be more three-dimensional. We wanted figures that could be assembled to look as if they were moving flat-out, their riders held on by the fine chain tethers that were a feature of the raider crew. As the models were primarily about the Hellions themselves we wanted to sculpt them physically, like the Warriors and Wyches, rather than digitally, as the Reavers were.</em></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><em>More feral than the Wyches, the fighting suits were slashed rather than artfully pierced, the armour even more stripped back. The snarling breath screens became more sculptural. With the Incubi wielding their brand-new klaives, the halberd-like hellglaive became more distinctive. The twin blades acquired sinuous new Eldar shapes but the addition of hooks made them look crueller.</em><br />

Dark Eldar Reaver. A new design for Craftworld Eldar Jetbikes. Pics

Today we have evidence that GW models are being thought out and designed even with future products in mind. The Dark Eldar Reaver. <br />
While designing the Dark Eldar Reaver Jetbike, they simultaneously designed the craftworld jetbike which was apparently flagged for a new model in the future. When GW shows such thought put into our products, they really do make long time 40k players very excited. Here is what they said about designing Reavers and of course some pics.<br />
<br />

The Craftworld jetbike design was looking dated and had been earmarked for a future remake, so it made sense to work on the designs simultaneously. Although the basic layout of the chassis, the carapace, the rider position, the fins and the weapon pod would stay constant, the styling had to reflect the divergence of the two factions from a common root. A common chassis with maquette rider was produced as the first stage.</em><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><em>Two prototypes were sculpted onto the basic chassis: one Craftworld and one Dark, shown here. Where the Craftworld bike would feature lots of aerodynamic cowling and a uniform look, the Dark Eldar version needed to look more stripped back and 'sharper'. Fins that were blades reflected the fact that the bike itself was the weapon; pierced carapaces used negative space to change the silhouette; concave rather than convex surfaces linked the bike design to the Raider hull. The small pop-up targeter on the top of the carapace was added at this stage, even though it started as a pencilled-on panel line.</em></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The racing leathers were based on the Wych bodysuits with armour over the chests; the blank helmets were a development of the masks. The hinged neck guard made them look more aerodynamic when seated and served to provide protection for the neck in the arena. Alex Hedstrom joined the project to digitally sculpt the riders, using the computer scans of the Wych plastics as a basis. The Reavers were given standardised fittings at the neck and shoulder so that they would interchange with the Wyches</em>.<br />

The Reaver bike had to be customisable to reflect the individual riders. The carapaces themselves were the most dominant part of the design, so they varied the most; we imagined that the different piercings would give each bike a different sound as they swept past the arena faithful, each rider having a sonic 'signature'</em>

23rd Armored Company - Battle Report Necrons

I figured it was time to take the list I put together a few weeks ago. I was bringing lots of firepower backed up with 23 pieces of armor to form the rock. So I called up a friend over at <a href="http://mojjosmadness.blogspot.com/">Mojjos Madness</a> to hit the field. <br />
<br />
Now I didnt know exactly what he was going to be fielding, since he owns every army except Dark Eldar and One other that I cant remember. What he brought was necrons. We played at his house, his table is still being painted, so we were on a black board. Oh well. Next time we will get a painted table with a painted army. 2500 point battle over some rough and tall ruins. It was board quarters, with 4 objectives, and I won the roll off to go first.<br />
<br />
This is me.<br />
 <a href="http://natfka.blogspot.com/2010/09/armored-company-fielding-23-pieces-of.html">Imperial Guard: 23rd Armored Company </a><br />
<br />
My opponent: <br />
4 squads of 10Necron Warriors<br />
2 Necron Lords, both with orbs, and one that could teleport<br />
3 squads of Immortals I think they were 8 in number<br />
3 Monoliths<br />
Phase out number. 50<br />
<br />
My opponent had an idea of what I was bringing, and he was ready to counter me. I sat up in my chosen quarter, while he set up to reserve his entire army. (hoping to filter troops through his monoliths).<br />
<br />
So round 1 was pretty lame, scout moves on the vendettas, and then everything pretty much moving to get a good position. My round two was the same. At the end of Round 2 the game actually began. My opponent was playing smart.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT4qqOiaj0wUaeyLw2fBAjT0BqunNO5yJddQKOIKU2Vhg7I34chrlLDTKTS1IDAyjwk_qfmfm7-KDa_nMgR3K8sU659VVWHXFEN9WYzGVkBZ-ZSQnHm2L5N7FL0HDmO3Zt61DKpa1TKuNG/s1600/Necron+battle+report+006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT4qqOiaj0wUaeyLw2fBAjT0BqunNO5yJddQKOIKU2Vhg7I34chrlLDTKTS1IDAyjwk_qfmfm7-KDa_nMgR3K8sU659VVWHXFEN9WYzGVkBZ-ZSQnHm2L5N7FL0HDmO3Zt61DKpa1TKuNG/s320/Necron+battle+report+006.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Bottom of 2. All three monoliths come in. Pretty much his entire army except the two warrior squads with attached Lords. Obviously the Necrons suddenly appeared deep into my lines, coming out of the monoliths to cut my early forward advance. Several of the chimeras were shaken and damaged, but no serious damage was dealt.<br />
<br />

Opening up with everything I had, Baslisks fire direct at a monolith, catching most of the emerging warriors. Heavy flamers, and other fire takes down the two warrior units hard, forcing one to break and run. Vendettas and company commands shake up the monoliths, immobilizing both that had deepstriked farthest into my lines. Smart movements of loaded chimeras, trapped two Monoliths into place with my chimeras parking on all their sides. In the photo, the two monoliths on the right has chimeras in front of their portals and had effectively cut off any further teleporting units through these two monoliths, not to mention I also immobilized them. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The rest of his army walked onto the board. Broken squad #1 that was running had to keep running due to a good chimera location within 6". Forward chimeras were hit hard along side armor values from the immortals, wrecking them, while his monoliths kept my chimeras mostly shaken and stunned, not allowing me to fire off all my Hunterkiller Missiles. Infantry coming out of the Chimeras were hit hard, however stayed alive by hitting the dirt (going to ground).<br />

At this point the Necrons had done only slight damage to the large mechanized force before them. Here, one of the company command squads in the chimera tank shocked forward 12 inches, hitting the already broken squad, and immediately causing them to flee further towards their board edge.This pushed the broken warriors right into a heavy mix of immortals and creating the ideal target for basilisks. They had to fire direct, but the result was 25% more casualties on the broken squad, so they had to run again (and off the board). Also one unit of immortals was hit hard, and broke off the board edge from the direct firing earthshaker rounds. Almost every unit he had was forced to pass to a leadership test that round from casualties, and alot of necrons were removed from the table.</div><br />
Lucky for him, the bottom of 4 went well. A teleporting Necron Lord with warriors wiped out IG infantry emerging out of their wreck. Chimeras were mostly stunned, but were succumbing to immortals working their way around to side armor shots. The Center of the board, which I had pushed into, was now starting to crumble as forward chimeras were wrecked under advancing immortals. A Hydra was lost as well, one in a squadron of three.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmyDymxioE9uKbOaY5UkNBMFe7OJmy-iD7rOCpfZ4kaHkVDkd-6D61cc_VqJBqPPL_5k17pGW5GhlPs3A8Z3br6v96haHhvGSn-paBFADv9zC6mEkcfAH5gAtCGyk9HJ3t2ZON30XR4R8f/s1600/Necron+battle+report+018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmyDymxioE9uKbOaY5UkNBMFe7OJmy-iD7rOCpfZ4kaHkVDkd-6D61cc_VqJBqPPL_5k17pGW5GhlPs3A8Z3br6v96haHhvGSn-paBFADv9zC6mEkcfAH5gAtCGyk9HJ3t2ZON30XR4R8f/s320/Necron+battle+report+018.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Round 5. The basiliks turned catching a narrow glimpse of the teleporting necron lord through the ruins. check out this shot through the doorway. All the warriors were destroyed, however the Lord somehow remained with a single wound left. A lone necron warrior in the center was killed in melee, and the necron lord teleported to successfully contest one of my three held objectives. Immortals emerged from one monolith, and at the end of the 5th, he held his backfield objective, and I held mine. However the game continued after a die roll to continue. The necrons were thinning out at this point, however, they were making decent advances trying to reach objectives.<br />
<br />
The sixth round was pretty straight forward. The necrons had made a hard last minute rush to draw the game, but they were exposed. The Lord was killed, however would return once again, and the immortals in the center of the field were all but destroyed. This left 16 models on the field after he rolled his We'll be Back. This left the Necrons suddenly and mysteriously vanishing from the battlefield. It was close, since 16 is right where I needed him. 17 and the game would go on. (yes we played another round for fun, but it got worse for the necrons, and the victory would of become much more solid, as my tanks moved up to contest his objective and I killed even more)<br />
<br />
Overall it was a great game. My chimeras really slowed down his advance, especially when I blocked in his Monoliths with my armor. It was the tank shocking company command  though that really shined. They were able to hit an already broken unit and force them to fall back into an ideal location for the Basilisks. Over-all the Necrons were not really able to deal with all the armor. I lost 5 chimeras, and 1 Hydra in the mechanized losses. His overall great champion was his teleporting ability, which I worked hard to stop. The Lord's teleporting, however was a wild card that I really had a hard time stopping. Necrons can be incredibly hard to get rid of.</div>

I write for fun, and enjoy it. This is the 4th installment of Inquisitor Lord Faeit's story. For those interested here are the Previous Posts. They are also linked in order halfway down the page.<br />

<br />
Inquisitor Faeit stood tall, stretching his arms and wrists outward to feel the strength of his powered armor. He pulled the blood red over a balding head, allowing the psychic energy to course down his spine where it mixed with the bodies own adrenaline. His eyes widened into the intense gaze of a madman as the anticipation of battle swelled with every breath. The visions had pointed here, to this planet, to these ancient ruins, and to a battle that would leave this crusade for the Emperor, swinging in the balance. He would not fail.  <br />
<br />
“Have I not already failed?” the words coming silently off his lips, in conflict with what was happening around him. This was not real, it was a dream, a memory. No, the realization came, it was his nightmare, the same nightmare.<br />
<br />
Behind him, the gunship’s engines had begun to whine, preparing to lift off. Around him blurry black carapace armored figures ran past Faeit, jumping up into the vendetta’s open door. Awaiting orders, surrounding chimera transports turned over their engines as the battle group prepared to advance into the ruined city. The hum of plasma guns charging, rang in his ears. and Faeit dropped down to one knee. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhF_vvyIva3IeM9eNqVdxjo3A_Ih8BfucTA9vR99G1Adtopr0zkQTS-ocOHOUTQpBYF3rb1uFvBQ4V6kR6NaS64yAQQ1pQF-5xkwt0Y-itV07tGcarWAe33OZ3fW-rzO4cxA2ndX20g-za/s1600/W40k_Karskin_by_BiGFooT_y2k.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhF_vvyIva3IeM9eNqVdxjo3A_Ih8BfucTA9vR99G1Adtopr0zkQTS-ocOHOUTQpBYF3rb1uFvBQ4V6kR6NaS64yAQQ1pQF-5xkwt0Y-itV07tGcarWAe33OZ3fW-rzO4cxA2ndX20g-za/s200/W40k_Karskin_by_BiGFooT_y2k.jpg" width="150" /></a>This routine of pretending to pray before battle was one of Lord Faeits greatest secrets. The men would need unbending faith in him, and by invoking the power of the Emperor through prayer, even the lowliest soldier was willing to face death. He recalled that the Templar were moving against him, many would die. He numbly went through the motions of the dream, aware of the memory that was this dream and what was to come, but he was unable and possibly unwilling to break the cycle and wake.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Faeit stood, taking in the nightmare around him, it was a blur; the faces he knew indistinct. Then something peculiar happened, she walked by, and the blurriness of the dream focused, her image solid and clear. Faeit turned quickly from her, fearful she would catch his stare. This did not happen, he knew she was supposed to already be aboard the gunship. Where had she just come from?</div><br />
Intrigued, Faeit turned and boarded. Everyone including the acolyte Celene, were in their proper location, yet the blurriness of the dream focused everything to her. Their eyes met, and she smiled. It wasn’t her smile. Something else was there in the eyes, looking back at him, her smile a lie.<br />
<br />
“Incoming!” the speakers cracked from the pilot. The gunship shook violently with the explosion and reeled sharply to the right. Sparks showered the interior deck from above as one engine turbine was blown, bellowing black smoke throughout the cabin. The gunship was probably on fire above them and they were about to crash.<br />
<br />
He could hear his own thoughts as they were hit, furious, fiery, they thought only of the artifact. They played like a recording in the background. They were already flying into the plaza when they were hit, and Faeit found it peculiar that they had just taken off a moment ago. Dreams were strange, the passage of time and events unclear. Faeit’s grabbed a metal rail to brace himself against the impact. <br />
<br />
They crashed to the ground, the metal grab bar ripping out under the impact and strength of Faeits powered armor as he was thrown into the wall. He stood through it and staggered backwards, the pilot lowering his flying wreckage to the ground without tearing them apart, it was the last moments of his life. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdTIVIuxzagfrxEoVfjiZImnfR8KiB7qIgImIremtWnhPIDALZ209-xSM0bd0SkMhEqc3QQdtNeIRXXhpvr6g82Ov4XfYdtzRUpAmImlYOO0233ISsxUl7cUpfRwrNZ1xMErSC0Rnn7HD/s1600/dowdestylewpblacktemplahe4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHdTIVIuxzagfrxEoVfjiZImnfR8KiB7qIgImIremtWnhPIDALZ209-xSM0bd0SkMhEqc3QQdtNeIRXXhpvr6g82Ov4XfYdtzRUpAmImlYOO0233ISsxUl7cUpfRwrNZ1xMErSC0Rnn7HD/s320/dowdestylewpblacktemplahe4.jpg" width="320" /></a>Faeit quickly emerged from the wreckage beneath a flaming wing , his plasma team moving quickly to his sides. The black smoke was everywhere, covering their exit from the vehicle. Then Celene moved up beside him, where she moved, the smoke parted, and the dream focused. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>The open plaza in front of the temple stood before them. They had crashed into the center of the plaza with no cover but the billowing black smoke and flames of the gunship. The chimeras behind them had fanned out, firing their laser bursts into the ruins, deploying themselves amongst the rubble to protect artillery and flak tank batteries. <br />
<br />
From the other side of the plaza, the dark armored marines emerged from the ruins, their thick ceramite plates of black and white glistening in the dying light. In the distance, Faeit could hear the men bark futile orders, drowned out by the rising battle hymn of the Templar. In cue with the rising hymns, missiles leaving behind trails of white smoke, were fired from the Black Templar, followed by the rising chorus of bolter fire.<br />

What it says is that chessex dice, that we all use for warhammer 40k, tends to roll a 1 on average 29% of the time. If you have not read this, I highly suggest that you do. Now, what I am not saying, is throw out those dice, and run out and get new ones. I have had just as bad luck with casino dice, as I have with chessex dice. <br />
<br />
You can spend alot of time researching how dice are made, and how poor the quality is of the dice we use. If we are all using the same dice, does it even matter? Ive seen tournaments that hand out the dice to be used. <br />
<br />
This is a personal thing for me. I don't like to dwell on the fact of how poor my dice were. Sometimes I get bad dice games, and sometimes good. The primary thing I do is to not use chessex dice. I use dice created by <a href="http://www.gamescience.com/">Gamescience</a> that  I purchased at gamestation.net. I go with the theory that by using cornered sharp edged dice, the law of averages are going to be close enough, so that "I feel better" regardless of results.<br />
<br />

If my opponent rolls all his dice at the same time, and or using a tray, there is little to ever think about. There are people that practice dice rolling. I guess you can get good at it. If I see someone rolling one dice at a time, or setting up his rolls, I have no issue calling my opponent on it (I have done this Brian). In friendly games, its just as easy to pick up your army and call it, if someone is obviously cheating and not stopping. (Ive never had to do this).<br />
<br />
You have my take on dice rolling. What is your take on the dice that you use?

Here it is months after the release of the Blood Angels codex. The question then becomes, where is our Stormraven? Not even a pic, and with the exception of waiting for the next release of Daemonhunters (which we are not sure is even next), we have had no real signs that we are going to see this gunship anytime soon. It seems very odd to me, that GW would wait an entire year, which is what it is going to end up being, before giving us something on this. You all know I am a Dark Eldar player, and to be honest, in order to get the stormraven released, I could of waited another month or more for such a release. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBhvHgj4n7GKPlbwWOU_REie-YT2WH4_eizEWWP-VLeKZ5c5XI1qViirTcZeoY9zvBm7cBMQAJRDIKkICGFF2QWhk2RgcdYTrVZXLij6PxZZ760I1m-pSk3m6nFCJ4Z0lf2Wa93ExbietC/s1600/single-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="125" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBhvHgj4n7GKPlbwWOU_REie-YT2WH4_eizEWWP-VLeKZ5c5XI1qViirTcZeoY9zvBm7cBMQAJRDIKkICGFF2QWhk2RgcdYTrVZXLij6PxZZ760I1m-pSk3m6nFCJ4Z0lf2Wa93ExbietC/s200/single-01.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Killing and Ultimately Winning - Mathhammer

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOfwOZPxt3ciMkwKkoxb3RFxkmjuztJ52-X62CdHRh8BPtXWrKstJqGw_GZYQbvkdIh-scQT9o5WgN8xENQGDV60dusZsxU6rl1plKkDrU7N0x4HuxSr8b0pQjLhmllFtfS5ZFrh-mJGuu/s1600/1188861950609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOfwOZPxt3ciMkwKkoxb3RFxkmjuztJ52-X62CdHRh8BPtXWrKstJqGw_GZYQbvkdIh-scQT9o5WgN8xENQGDV60dusZsxU6rl1plKkDrU7N0x4HuxSr8b0pQjLhmllFtfS5ZFrh-mJGuu/s320/1188861950609.jpg" width="226" /></a>One of the most important concepts on the warhammer tabletop is how you are going to deal with the opposing forces. While these are topics that I've touched on before, I've seen on the tabletop and elsewhere, poor ideas thrown around on taking down the enemy. To start. There are really only two things you have to accomplish on the tabletop. Kill your opponent, and win the objectives. Every round this is what we should be thinking about. Sometimes killing is your only objective, so this is where we will start. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>How do we kill the enemy? How much will it take? Who will win this or that assault? Guessing isn't just in my nature, nor is relying up on luck. <br />
<br />
<strong>Mathhammer is simply a way for us to know and understand what is possible.</strong> For instance, how many rounds should it take on average for a single lascannon to blow up a rhino?<br />
<br />
The answer is based on the simple fact, that on the vehicle damage table there are only two results that give us a destroyed vehicle. So the answer starts where it takes 3 penetrating hits to blow up a tank. Next how easy is it to hit and penetrate the armor of the vehicle. Str9 vs av11, so a 3+. Answer is simple 4 out of 6. Next we take into consideration how often you are able to hit that tank with that lascannon. Again, BS4 gives you 4 out of 6 rounds you hit the rhino.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-AXNncyBXlR1t9wRh_1Vzyu_sH8in9yu_GgsqW_FOCQ8ChtP1WIp-6bn5ekdBIMn8IYeZKTiZWCpVY0x5Gji9LnJy6-CM0yiMJe6UA8K8Py6eVIDCRYme3rLYIkjFGN3DAqqZbcj0Esfg/s1600/Adepta_by_nooblar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-AXNncyBXlR1t9wRh_1Vzyu_sH8in9yu_GgsqW_FOCQ8ChtP1WIp-6bn5ekdBIMn8IYeZKTiZWCpVY0x5Gji9LnJy6-CM0yiMJe6UA8K8Py6eVIDCRYme3rLYIkjFGN3DAqqZbcj0Esfg/s320/Adepta_by_nooblar.jpg" width="226" /></a>So what we have with a single long range Marine or Veteran Guardsmen firing a lascannon is the approximation that it should be able to destroy a single rhino once a game. You need 3 penetrating hits, and you should get that in 6 or 7 rounds of play. On a Land Raider, a lone Lascannon should only get one penetrating hit per game, so once every three games or so, that Land Raider will go poof. This is also the reason that a squadron of 3 Hydra Flak Tanks in a single squadron are better than two squadrons of 2 Hydras. (efficiency) Remember if the your firing at the same unit over and over, your wasting your time.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div>This is why the melta gun has become extremely popular and efficient at killing mech. You only need 2 penetrating hits on average to blow that mech up, and it's much easier to penetrate within that 6". Why are veteran squads with 3 meltas in most IG lists? Your answer is that they are efficient killing machines, that have a 20" kill zone to mech, if mounted up in their chimera. That's a one round kill to mathhammer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJ5qKnvyeSKZQbYEXDI67XwBHEW7j4Xv7bbhGRAWCO-9sH2V2MyzrkLXc_Q4pQLA-bybLqNw23gIa81ABABzO0ToTSDeLJZC9FIjnedIsYcbpeld2vgiY3UkG8m5teBW4QDPrM2l7smiz/s1600/b7f3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitJ5qKnvyeSKZQbYEXDI67XwBHEW7j4Xv7bbhGRAWCO-9sH2V2MyzrkLXc_Q4pQLA-bybLqNw23gIa81ABABzO0ToTSDeLJZC9FIjnedIsYcbpeld2vgiY3UkG8m5teBW4QDPrM2l7smiz/s320/b7f3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>While I've only used shooting attacks on mechanized units as examples, realize Mathhammer is simply a tool. <br />
Whether it's an assault or a shooting attack, quickly breaking down the numbers can tell you what to expect. <br />
<br />
<strong>Mathhammer only shows us what is probable</strong>, and knowing it, should end the frustration of "why cant my lascannon blow something up." The math is not hard, and doesn't even need to be precise. There is however a very cool combat simulator on <a href="http://www.heresy-online.net/combatcalculator/shooting.php">Heresy Online</a> that will help you figure out your chances to kill and destroy the enemy. <br />
<br />
Mathhammer will not replace tactics on the tabletop, nor the strategy of list building and deployment. It should be integrated into your thoughts, as a means to analyze your units efficiency on the field.
