Ok to make things quick: in middle of game facing another space marine player, had termies on the rear of the rhino each termie had chainfists, and were assaulting the rear of a rhino, giving each 3 attacks 15 total rolled em all together, got 14(grrrrrr) misses and 1 hits, chainfist adds 2d6 to strength instead of 1d6 so i roll one set of two, get a 6 and 6, makin it 20 armor damage whatever. So, wouldn't this kinda put in the rule of double strength to armor an instant death, i though so, because its not fair and i got a penetrating hit and didn't blow it up...

Thought this was going to be a suggestion for separate armour values versus different types of weapons.
The real question is, why use a 265+ point scoring unit against a 50 point dedicated transport? Was he trying to tank shock you with it or something?

When soldiers think, it's called routing. |

Afterwards did mommy kiss your dice and make it better? But seriously, 15 chainfist attacks should cause a little less then 3 hits, and that should be more then enough to blow the rear of a tank. You got unlucky, that happens, GW doesn't need to make a new rule for getting unlucky.

You should have hit it on a 4+ so 15 attacks should get you 7-8 hits. That was some of the worst rolling in history if you only hit once out of 15 wit ha 4+ to hit.

In a game we were playing, a friend got a direct hit with a bassie and 9 marines were under the template. he then proceeded to roll 9 ones. It was the most rediculous thing i have ever seen.

Think of it this way. It's a fist. Your termie cut through the hull and penetrated the tank, And now the IG Armored Core has a sporty model with a moon-roof now. It sucks, and I'm sorry that the odds worked against you...but it's not unreasonable or unfair. To quote a remarkable bumper sticker:
Sh!t Happens.

You've gotten the odds right. That's basically a 1 in 10,000,000 chance. Ten million. I don't doubt it can happen, but whoever it happens to must feel like a regular Charlie Brown.
