Hi there! I'm new to this forum and actually to warhammer in general but since a friend introduced me through Space Hulk a few weeks ago, I've been hooked ^^
Since I couldn't resist it I started compiling a probability list for every action in the game. The only thing left to do is the probabilities for Lorenzo's powersword and the broodlord/librarian. The format can be written in many different ways but I decided to make it from a a marine point of view. If there's anyone willing to discuss the numbers I'd be glad to show the calculations (which are really very straight forward). Also, if there's something you want to know the probability for that I can put in the chart, please tell me and I'll try to fix it! Here goes! (apologize in advance for rounding errors.. I didn't always use all the decimals when calculating stuff based on previous calculations. but it shouldn't be wrong here and there with more than .1 or so)
Btw, if there is a tab function that I don't know about, let me know :S

The
Close vs. numbers gives the result of a genestealer roll, the number in () next to it is the chance of the genestealer rolling it and the following column is the probability to survive/win (survive means either a tie or a win) versus that roll without guard. Last column is the same as the middle one, but with guard.
