40k Number Theory: Excel Spread Sheet



Been working on my version of the 40k Number Theory...

I did make a tweak to Bringer of Victory. His original design had 4 categories, with limitations of measurement when it came to the strength and weakness a unit has when assaulting vehicles.

For my version continue reading...

40k Theory: It's All About The Numbers

http://nike40k.blogspot.com/2011/06/40k-theory-its-all-about-numbers.html

As a math major I really like the idea of using math to bring value to something one would normal say is subjective.

A great read and something I plan to feature here on Bad Donkey Gaming.

Thanks again to Bringer of Victory for coming up with the great idea.

Intervening models & cover save

This little question came up in our gaming group. We had a unit of gargoyles in front of a unit of flying warriors who had been modeled flying up in the air, and behind the warriors we had a flying hive tyrant. So I just would like to highlight a few rules that helped us clear up the question of who should get a save and who shouldn't.

Rule Book Pg 21
If a target is partially hidden from the fire's view by other models, it receives a 4+ cover in the same way as if it was behind terrain.

RB.22A.01 – Q: How exactly does a player determine if they are firing “through” area terrain or an intervening unit as opposed to firing “over” it?
A: When drawing line of sight past an intervening unit or area terrain draw an imaginary line from the tallest points of the two models/terrain elements that are being fired „through‟. If no portion of the target model‟s body (head,
torso, arms, legs) is within this imaginary area then LOS is considered to pass over the intervening unit/area terrain and the target is considered to not be “in cover” [clarification].
Remember that purposely converting your models to gain an in-game advantage is not allowed.

Watching Paint Dry - Ork Buggy Conversion



The folks over at Watching Paint Dry, have taken a liking to my little buggy conversion and have made a sped tutorial that is very nicely produced.


Check it out plus all the other great stuff over there.

Abaddon Reborn

Just a simple conversion using the Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor combined with the new finecast Abaddon.



As you can tell from picture number two the finecast is subject to a bit of bending... I held it straight with a bit of pressure for about a minute now it seems to be holding straight. All and all big fan of the new finecast level of detail, was never a big fan of the Abaddon model since he was a bit smaller then his new Chaos Terminator counter parts. So it was only logical since I had a Chaos Lord laying around after purchasing one for by Belial conversion, that I make myself a fancy Abaddon. I was going to put the finecast trophy racks on him but their base too thick to fit between the shoulder pad and armor. So I decided on a cleaner look.

Planned list: Black Legion List

'Ard Boyz Rules

Why buy GW washes when you can bargain shop???

Badab Black and Devlan Mud are two of my favorite washes, but I tired of buying GW's tiny bottle of wash. So I started to explore other options and I discovered a great bargain.

Sargent Art® Watercolor Magic comes in 21 colors washes the bottles come in a wide variety of sizes, I used to pick mine up from Hobby Lobby, but they stopped carrying it. So I bought up all their remaining stock. Hopefully my stockpile will last until I can find another place to pick up this great product.

CONTEMPTOR PATTERN DREADNOUGHT!!!


This bad boy has some pretty sweet rules: found here. The idea of a promising pair of this with the Forgeworld Dreadnought drop pod is very very tempting.
