Tabletop Warhammer?

It would be good to get a list of who is playing who as in armies but not the list :) that would help with some of the choices. I am glad you made me double check my list because I cant decide now lol

Yes, basically you take the total number of wounds then you allocate them in pools with each pool going to a different type of warrior in the unit. Each model must have one wound against it before another model can have 2 wounds against it. Each warrior type then makes saves and takes wounds accordingly, if possible wounds have to kill (so in our case one crisis suit would be dead and one down to 1 wound).

So for example:

A 10 man space marine squad with a sergeant and a flamer trooper takes 12 wounds.

You must allocate 8 wounds to the basic troopers, 1 wound to the sergeant and 1 to the flamer. The final two wounds can either go:

both to the normal troopers
1 to the troopers and 1 to sergeant or flamer
1 to sergeant and 1 to flamer

Then you take the saves for each type. So if you took 2 wounds against the Sergeant and he failed both saves, he would die but the extra wound does not carry over onto another trooper.

The reason it's important is that if the squad has a mix of wargear/weapons (say a terminator squad with a mix of powerfists/swords then each wargear choice counts as a separate pool. For example:

5 terminators with the following wargear take ten wounds:

SB + PS
SB + PF
AC + PF
TH + SS
SB + PS

in the 4th ed rules if you failed 5 armour saves then all of them would be dead, one wound each. Now however you split them so that each would take 2 wounds (The SB+PS would actually take 4 wounds across the two models) and then take saves separately. So if the TH + SS terminator failed 2 armour saves, he would die and the extra unsaved wound would not count against the other soldiers)


It gets even more complicated if you have multi wound models with all different wargear :p

Not my models, but this arrived earlier. It's absolutely packed with examples of great painting. I really love the quality of the older 'Eavy Metal showcase models and armies. The number of hand-painted designs that you don't get these days is amazing.

If only I had something to apply the techniques on. :p
 
Still cant find the 5th ed repository :(

Edit: Seems the repositorys are mixed editions so ill just shut up

Ok as no-one has complained I'm going to confirm the official submission deadline:

6pm Thursday 14th February

All army lists must be uploaded to the drop box folder (I'll create a new folder in the army lists folder for them) or emailed to me by that time. I will take that evening to confirm all lists are valid then games can begin Friday evening if people wish :)

I'll trust email this to people as well in case they're not checking this thread.
