Strangely enough, the only way to bait the Lochness Monster is by fielding Flash Gitz.

Do these numbers take into account an invul save?


They do not. I thought a standard vanilla termie does not have one?
Is that the (4/6) at the end of your calc jidmah? Is that iron halo?


Terminator Armor always comes with a 5+ invul save in addition to 2+ armor. 5++ will fail 4 out of 6 times.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

They should rename them the Tasty Chum Gitz.

Jidmah w invul it looks like this

Ap1 3.6666652
Ap2 3.6666652
Ap3 3.6666652
Ap4 0.610866422
Ap5 0.610866422
Ap6 0.610866422

2.138.

So yeah back to not bad but meh for the points.

I'm back to sort of the same conclusion, if they were Assault 3, had a boss pole/klaw option, and cost 35 instead of 40 points kitted out, they would be an option but as is just not worth it.

20 shots * BS2 * Wound on 2+ * (5++ or 2+ Armor)
-> AP rolls 1-3 would be 20 * (2/6) * (5/6) * (4/6), resulting in 3.70
-> AP rolls 4-6 would be 20 * (2/6) * (5/6) * (1/6), resulting in 0.92#

You math for the first result seems to have some rounding errors, and you seem to apply armor and invulnerability to the second result. You can only ever take a single save against any wound.

Thanks jidmah you are right(I see you have done this before a few times lol). Really appreciate the feedback. I have only been playing for about two months now so I am still kinda learning this stuff. I am trying to make some good spreadsheets up that I can plug stuff into so this is my first real whack at it.
