a few things i learned...
I wanted to write down a few rules I learned from when I first started playing and see any of you guy;s that you have noticed.
Scott's first law of single dice: any important roll left to just one D6 WILL fail every time.
Why Zac plays psykers: Any and all psychic tests made by Zac will not suffer perils HOWEVER if it does, the model will not suffer a wound.
Kyle's theory of armour saves: Kyle will statistically make 5 out of 6, 5+ saves, but fail 9 out of 10 terminator saves.
The Fatty theory: Fatty makes every save. Ever.
Anything you guys wanna add?

all very true- especially for me, the single dice screw over (i immobilize even with a dozer blade) and the hit all but no wounds. and yes, fatty will always roll what he needs.

Orks don't make a good shooting army, unless your name is Alex and you're a closet Sisters of Battle fan. Then you can roll 5's and 6's to hit as often as a marine player rolls 3+'s.
Also, Orks learned that red unz go fastah after fighting against Blood Angels.

Re: a few things i learned...
I entered the universe of warhammer with my first game rolling 6 1's in a row and marshall saying "wow, maybe you shouldn't get into warhammer..." with a complete understanding of the physics of a 6 sided cube. Every roll has an exact same chance. No matter what you do, with a fair, even weighted die, if you actually roll it, it HAS THE EXACT SAME CHANCE EVERY SIDE. This is what 11 years of schooling has taught me. I initially tried to stick to these principals, keeping optimistic about crappy rolling or that meltabomb REALLY just taking out the land raider. I noticed people like joe have a tendency to make to many saves. I watched as I saw people actually having good luck at some things, and bad at others consistently. I continued to try to ignore this, thinking rationally, going into insane statistics considering the chances that this person actually HAS done this consistently evey game even though it shouldn't happen. I recently even went into thinking that the only reason we remember the crappy rolls is because they stick out in our memory. I have finally accepted and learned this one simple truth. Nelsen's law: Throw math out the window, statistics mean nothing. Nothing is impossible, and everything that SHOULD happen for you, won't. I guess I figure that's what real skill in warhammer gaming. 1/2 is knowing your opponent and planning appropriotly, and 1/2 be able to think on your feet and change tactics quickly to make up for unplanned losses/gains, and 1/2 other stuff of course sometimes the dice just completely decide the game...
The point of ALL THIS being....."EFFING SERIOUSLY??? REALLY FATTY??? No, NO! I'm sick of it!!! Roll it again! I DON'T CARE IF YOU ALREADY ROLLED IT DO IT AGAIN! WTF YOU MADE MORE OF THEM THIS TIME?!?!?!? RAAAUUGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" *flips table* "there, I win!"

Re: a few things i learned...
I'm a mean person to play when I'm tired. Up to and including counting rolls off the table and not actually checking if I've hit.
That and I need to remember I can actually save when I have cover.
Finally today's DE lesson, Agonizers are your army in CC, and Dark Lances hate everyone.

Thanks, I have a hard time reading people so I have a tendency to assume people are mad at me and hate me. So yeah I know I'm annoying.
