Chaos Deamons vs Dark Eldar 1500pts

Fateweaver + Screamers and Herald... And flying big things! One of the nastiest armies that you can build... not optimized at all (only one herald) but when you get the 4+ invul that is no problem! Will the dark eldar be able to face off against the deamonic horde? Enjoy this action packed battle report.

Warp storm table for the win!

Thanks for the report, awesome as always.

Managed to see this one a few days back when you first uploaded on youtube. That first or second round was magnificent.

What do you think about the spinner so far? I am contemplating adding one. Is the spinner stock or have you added som goodies? Holofields and Shuriken Cannon comes to mind but that puts the spinner at 140p in total.

Well played, and as much as the dice favoured you early one they did seem to favour your opponent later, just goes to show. Stay in the game!

Thanks for the report, interesting as always.

I am loving the spinner the more I use it. I keep it stock... 115pts. Pure win. The blast, the torrent flamer and heavier armour than a ravager.

Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate the feedback.

Great report as always! It's fun to see the Blood Bowl objective mixed in even if it probably costed you the game.

As far as the re-roll saved vs failed thing goes, I know most people have been playing that they cancel which makes a type of sense. I worked it out mathematically to see the differences between the methods if anybody's interested.

MATH(HAMMER)

No Re-roll

chance = x/6, where x is the amount of faces of the die which would allow you to pass

for example a 2+ save would be 5/6 because you pass if you roll a 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 and fail on a 1.

Double Re-roll

chance = (x/6)(x/6) + [(6-x)/6](x/6)
= (x/6)[x/6 + (6-x)/6]
= (x/6)[(x-x+6)/6]
= (x/6)(6/6)
= (x/6)(1)
= (x/6)

The first equation is the chance to pass, which is then re-rolled added to the chance to re-roll a failed save. As you can see, the chance to pass the save is identical so it doesn't matter whether you decided to do a double re-roll or just cancel out the rolls mathematically. It is important that you agree to one method before you start rolling dice or else you can manipulate the dice pools to your advantage once they've been rolled.
