...make all your attacks...count the ones that didn't inflict damage...do a new round for that number of attacks...

You mean that one WT where you reroll everything that did not get to the "inflict damage" part?

You roll your attacks and put all misses to the side.
You roll your wounds and put all misses to the side.
Your enemy rolls their saves, you put 1 die for each successfull save to the side.

Now you take all dice from this side and attack again with them.

Each time this WARLORD fights, if all of its attacks target one enemy unit, after resolving all of those attacks, it can make a number of additional attacks against that enemy unit equal to the number of attacks that did not reach the Inflict Damage step of the attack sequence during that fight.

After you have resolved all attacks, before any other model fights, you count all attacks made that failed to hit, failed to wound, were is saved by an armor or invulnerable save and then you get to make that many attacks against the same unit you attacked before.
Attacks that were not saved but inflicted no damage for any other reason (FNP or similar effects) do not cause extra BBK attacks.

That's the easy part.

RAW, you also count all attacks that had their attack sequence ended, so any weapon which does mortal wounds instead of its normal damage. This doesn't make a lot of sense, but technically it never reached the inflict damage step.
In that context it is worth noting that BBK doesn't get to ignore limits on how often you can use a weapon, so if your Squigosaur’s jaws miss, you cannot make another attack with them ("no more than 3 attacks can be made", but have to use the beastchoppa.

Now, if you get the goff trait involved, it's a mess. You need to split the hits cause by rolling sixes from the rest of the attacks, these can never cause extra attacks. For all the "regular" hits that fail to wound or are saved you get extra attacks, but rolling sixes on those BBK attacks also don't trigger any extra hits.

This sounds like it'll take longer than an AD mech shooting phase.

If you think that way, you probably have not understood the rule correctly.

It's very wordy, but once you've got it figured out it's actually quite straightforward, and even pretty quick if you're using different coloured dice to differentiate.

Or I was making a joke and it went over your head.

I mean...no. You're basically just doubling the rolls for one character who makes like 8 attacks. You resolve the attacks for a single BBK warlord trait character in about the time it takes to count up the dice you need to attack with one min boyz squad in melee.

Also note, that it isnt a second round of fighting; you just gain additional attacks equal to the number of failed attacks.

This means you cant duplicate the squigjaw attacks, which state you can ONLY make 2/3 attacks with said weapon during that fight.

You can however, explode the squigjaw attacks with the goff thing.
