I agree. It smacks of the John blanchey grim dark madness that I think the current design aesthetic is lacking.

Well spotted. I'm pretty pleased they included those, at least. The pincer feet really weren't doing it for me. Wish they had some more skulls on the thing. Or had the pilot visibly plumbed into the machine like on the strider.

AdMech has the potential for the craziest kind of stuff, so that thing is just depressingly underwhelming.

We'll start off with some Mathammer charts, Mathammer is not a science it's just statistics it just gives you the knowledge that on average this will happen not "this will always be the result".


This is a great tool to use

This is the D6 chart from the above website and easy to remember if you want to figure odds fast this is the chart to remember.

Statistical Odds for a D6



Here is a break down of your armour saves and your chances. I've also included a chart for Feel No Pain.



Feel no pain directly does not affect armour rating but instead affects the armours fail rating by reducing when that is successful which is why it has separate columns.


Statistical Numbers for 2d6



The highlighted numbers show the greater statistical odds that you will roll those numbers, as you can see 2 and 12 have the same odds. So does rolling any double on two dice for that matter

Leadership

This is what your leadership chart actually looks like, with the included Double 1s always passing a Morale and Double 6s always failing.



Statistical Odds for 3D6



Again greater statistical odds of rolling 8 through 13.


Shooting

Shooting calculations.



It also for the sake of completion includes up to BS 10. As the rules allow you above a certain ballistic skill.

To Hit Calculations , these are fairly straight forward. As you can simply take the number of dice you roll then subtract your miss percentage for that BS and will give you an idea of what you will miss. For example, BS 3 misses 50% of the time you'd expect just on average to roll 4+ twice on 4 dice. Once you get the hang of this formulae it's pretty easy actuall to figure odds when shooting.

So, the manpile skitter tanks have a 6++ that improves by 1 for every other skitter tank in the unit. And they have the doctrine so they can get BS7.

The BS7 will be good because it means they hit on a 3+ and the 6++ save will be good except it's a shame Ignores Cover weapons will make it useless.

Also it's neat that more tanks improve the save, so if you had 5 tanks your save will be going up to like, 11++.
