I AM THE RED TERROR (and so can you!)

Hey! Love the article, but I'm not sure how you calculated the invulnerable saves- I'm not aware Ghazgull has one, and regardless shouldn't we be interested in the probability of failing the save?

Hi Silent!

Yes, Ghazghkull has a Cybork body which grants him a 5+ invulnerable save (2/6 chance for success, 4/6 chance for failure). Whoops, looks like I called it the wrong thing; the probability was correct, but I listed it incorrectly in the description.

In short: P(A∩B) = 34.37% * 2/3 = 22.92% just means that Red has a 34% chance to land 4 or more hits, and Ghazghkull has a 33% chance to save against it, bringing us to 22.92% that she successfully swallows him whole!

=P

And for completeness sake I did add Abby using Drach'nyen. Apparently not the better tool for the job in this case:

Warmaster Abbadon (using Drach'nyen)
Swallowed Whole! 9.68%
Red untouched 11.85%
Red 1 wound 20.23%
Red 2 wounds 24.24%
Red DEAD 43.66%

So I guess Yarrick is cool enough to have a invulnerable save now? That certainly helps keep him alive (updated the statistics).

This is the best thing I've seen on BoLS in quite a while. This is frontpage material. It's far more interesting than most of the articles published, anyway.

That might be taking it a little far, but I do thank you for the compliment! Just the rantings of an epidemiologist with too much time on his hands ;-)

Nice article... thanks for the post!
