yeah, not even Primarchs rival the power of the insanely godlike "Saiyan" race, and Primarchs are like... WS8, BS 5, S8, T8, W8, I8, A 10, LD 12, SV 2+ (and 2+ inv)
Thjeres rules for the Primarches?


I suppose that they're hypothetical stats, not actual ones.



Yeah, she got one wrong though. They have A BS of 8 as well. And their attack is something along the lines of 10. or 15. mrgreen Uber-goodness.
once again, BS cannot exceed 5! check the rulebook. It is the ONLY statline that is limited to 5.
BS 1: 6
BS 2: 5+
BS 3: 4+
BS 4: 3+
BS 5: 2+

One could then say that a BS 6 needs a 1+ to hit, but everyone can miss, including the Emperor himself. therefore, they HAVE to be BS 5.


Never played against DARK ELDAR then now have you. Their HQ has A BASE weapon skill of 7. Sheesh, do not assume something without checking first. Even on the chart it says that you CANNOT HIT ON A 1! That means even if you have A BS of 1000000, if you roll one, you missed. GOT IT?!!
... We're talking about BS, not WS. Check your tables. BS is not on a table like WS, S and T. 3nodding WS, S and T go up to 10. Armor goes up to 14... and doesn't go below 9. I think. o_O but BS... up to 5.


Oops, sorry, meant ballistic skill. And yues, GO LOOK!!! Before you say BS like that, read EVERYTHING FIRST!!! Even the Nightbringer disproves you there. I can list other models, but am too lazy to go look.

..What's the point in making something over 5 if it's the same as 5? o__O
That'd be like giving a vehicle armor value 2,000,000,000... yet, it's the same as 14.
Yeah, when I make stats, I do them to make sense. You know, not exceeding the tables?

Yeah, well, here is A hint. THERE ARE THINGS THAT LOWER BS!!!! There is A reason for the way they do it. I mean, going with your logic, why have weapon skills over 7, if they never improve anything over that? I mean, what with only being able to hit on A 3+ and all. And that is at best. At worst, you have A one in three chance of hitting. 5+.

ah, but there are things that RAISE stats, too... Which sort of counter-balances that. Here's a hypothetical. BS does list it as 5+... but the tables only go up to 10. If something had a WS of 10, but then had an upgrade making it WS 11, does it make it illegal, or not matter? I mean, in actuality, it goes AGAINST the tables on the rules, unlike BS, but we can already establish it makes no difference. o_O That's assuming there's something WITH a WS 10 that somehow becomes WS 11. Very hypothetical.

Actually, the tables are there to HELP, not be the rules themselves. And they follow A certain pattern, so once you know what that pattern is, there will be no problem.

Ok, well I had this issue once before. Theoretically you canm have WS of 11 (avatar's can easily do this) however, and this was decided at one of our tournamnts a while back, That You ould have stats exceeding 10, but they would have no effect. Maybe this was altered in 4th, I can't remember. But that was the way we played in 3rd.

It has, but then again, we go with what GW says here. As it stands, you will NEVER do ANYTHING on A 1. Pure and simple. It says so in the rules. Other than that, in CC, you can never hit more than 2/3 of the time, as you can never get to hit any better than A 3+. Other than that, everything remains the same.

what about vehicle penetration? i'm sure that can be done on a 1. Lascannon with tank killer VS armor 10, S10 vs armor 10... 0 to glance, 1+ to penetrate.

On A 1 to hit? As it stands, vehicles work differently, so I am unsure about them. As for troops and the like, it says that in the rulebook. Go look if you do not believe me.
