<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Need help understanding stats"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Need help understanding stats I haven't actually played yet, and I haven't been able to afford the rule book yet, so I don't know if it has a guide for this, but I need help understanding the stat tables. I know what each thing is, but how do they work? Like, how do you look at the stats and determine what you need to roll in order to hit and wound? In addition, if anyone knows, how does the particle whip for the Monolith work? It's an S8 AP4 Large Blast, Ordinance 1, so how do you roll for wounds? I know you roll dice equal to the number of pieces that fall under the template, but what do you need to roll to wound?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310901.page GMT Re:Need help understanding stats http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310905.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310905.page GMT Need help understanding stats BS is a flat lookup table (eg BS 3 = 4+ to hit), WS is a comparative table (your WS 3 vs their WS 3 = 4+ to hit). Your S vs their T is a comparative table. But then T can be it's own test (roll equal or under to). I can be a dice off (each roll 1D6 and add repective I scores) or it can be it's own test as per T. A is usually just the number of dice rolled when using WS. Ld is tested on 2d6, add the numbers and try to roll equal or less than your Ld score. I'm probably forgetting one, but thats my gist of it all.

edit2: large blast means the use of a large plastic (round) template to determine who gets hit. But yeah, the rulebook sort of helps. Until you run into something poorly worded and need an faq which will never come. But it goes through the basics and tends to give examples.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310910.page GMT Need help understanding stats d6s and if I roll 1-3 I miss, and 4-6 I hit xDD I know thats not how it would really work, but its the best I can do xD]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310917.page GMT Need help understanding stats 40k is a fairly complicated game, so it's easier to go in fresh, learn it right so you can limit your mistakes as you go on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310980.page GMT Need help understanding stats

Not that there's anything wrong with that, if that's what floats your boat


However, it should be pointed out that the forum isn't a replacement for having the rulebook. Ultimately, you're going to need it (or at least access to one) to play the game, as there are simply too many rules to convey through forum posts.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310987.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672908/8310987.page GMT
