[@manny1manito2]

ohh this is so cool! i use dark angels so this really helps me! did you do this in R? looks like stat though anyway i was just trying to figure out if how did you come up with the equation for this? so i recreated this with a montecarlo sim and i got a bit of a different result num_hellblasters

[@warphammer-math]

Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. after seeing this I checked my own work and realized that the graphs on that slide don't represent how many models die... but rather how many get to shoot again after dying to hazardous. I'm going to have to make a short addressing this. thank you so much for looking out! I do my coding in python.

[@Chris-lr2qb]

My Hellblasters one-shot my friend's Rogal Dorn the first game he brought it after spending 2 months as a new Dad painting it. Felt good and bad.

[@warphammer-math]

thats the fresh paint curse.

[@scolack123]

When im playing casual, i never shoot or charge my buddy's new built or painted thing because 1) we dont get to play often 2) you only get 2 or 3 rounds of actual good gameplay 3) it sucks to lose the new toy youve been waiting to run and now you might be waiting weeks or even a month again if gametime is rare

[@scolack123]

5:22 Well, the apothecary has to recover 3 hellblasters for hos own points return But ALSO consider how much damage in points that returned hellblaster does to the enemy? If you revive 1 hellblaster, then that 1 hellblaster pumps out 2 to 4 damage on its next round, that could be another hellblasters worth of points taken from the enemy team

[@caterhamflavouredimitationcrab]

7:02 having lethal hits lets the unit be more flexible, and of all the characters the unit could have, the Lieutenant gives the best buff, also giving fallback and shoot which can be useful against jail lists

[@warphammer-math]

I really should have mentioned that. that is a huge buff to hellblasters.

[@beardfistthegoldenone7273]

Is the Apothecary not a good pick? I'm torn between the 2.

[@roguevector1268]

@@beardfistthegoldenone7273 I found that either the Librarian or the Lieutenant - defensive vs offensive buff. Librarian giving that 4+ invuln is huge, and the Lieutenant's lethal hits and fall-back-and-shoot rules lets the Hellblasters thrive in the midfield.

[@Mark.Matthews]

I have run the lieutenant with them since ten and the fall back and shoot has been invaluable

[@nickontheinternet]

I HEARD LEAVING A COMMENT GIVES YOU AN EXTRA COMMAND POINT IN YOUR NEXT GAME! It’s on the internet so you know it’s true.

[@nanoid314]

Fellow math teacher/Blood Angels player here. You can actually benefit from new oath of moment if you forego all BA specific datasheets (sanguinary guard, death company, characters, etc.). I'm not quite sure it is worth it since our special units are pretty good. I definitely enjoy that the variability is taken into account in your videos. Much better than those "just the expected value" comparisons I see elsewhere.

[@warphammer-math]

ayyyyy! welcome comrade. / also I love my death company too much to give them up!

[@redleg1376]

Its kind of wonderful that the best blood angels units are all the ones who aren't blood angels. But stacking the +1 to wound on OOTM with +2 strength and the stratagem to give their weapons the lance rule means that just about anything can be super dangerous in melee.

[@nanoid314]

@@redleg1376 IIRC, you are capped at +1 to wound just as with hit rolls. While I agree that assault intercessors are very good in LAG, I do think that sanguinary guard and death company as well as the epic heroes are also extremely good.

[@DarthCasus]

You can still take all the non-Epic Hero Blood Angels units as your divergent chapter's keyword of Blood Angels will be replaced with your chapter, but the Epic Heroes can't have their chapter keyword be replaced. You can still run Death Company and Sanguinary Guard with the new Oath of Moment.

[@zagman7789]

i really liked what you did vs the lancer where not only did you show the percent increase but the new mean. the graphs today are great! really enjoying the content keep it up!

[@cartledge_uk]

^^ This, adding numbers tot he % is always good.

[@krobi26]

Thanks for the video! Two thoughts.. You may actually want hazardous to kill your dudes so that they can die and shoot more. Dead enemies don’t kill hellblasters. These graphs get more interesting when you average in the chance of guys dieing and adding some shots. It increases the chance for the gladiator to just die rather than almost die. The lieutenant at 65 points is 28% of the cost of the 230 point hellblasters. Looks like the relative change between new oath and new oath + lethal hits vs a gladiator is about 25% (16.3-13=3.3…3.3/13 is roughly 25%) So you actually lose damage per point into ALL targets by adding LT if you use new oath. But there are benefits to having one big unit that deals extra damage and has fall back and attack. You can’t stratagem 2 units.

[@warphammer-math]

Oops. I never explicitly said it in the video, but all the simulations with overcharge included the extra shots from models dying due to overwatch. I was really proud that I worked that in and can't believe I never mentioned it! The rest of your points are spot on! Thats exactly why I was not sure about including the LT and I really appreciate you distilling that down. Right On! I appreciate the help!

Hey! thanks for the kind words about my Mortarion. A fun combo for Hellblasters is an inquisitor. it's cheap at 55P, has a 2d6 flamer to help make sure those guants or cultists are wiped, and recycles a command point on a 3+ so a good chance that overwatch or command re-roll is free.

[@heroneoss]

Hellblasters were the first space marine box I purchased outside of the beginner paint set that came with 3 basic intercessors, and I haven’t had a single game where I was disappointed with their performance, they are an absolute beast of a unit, especially in a 10 man squad! PS. This channel is amazing, I am a fiend for this level of analysis, keep the vids coming! I’d love to see how the generic intercessors do punching up against things now with their new ability of doubling shots against a single target

[@eThagrosh]

I regularly run LT with Plasma Pistol and Apoth with my Hellblasters. Reviving is always happening between hazardous and being shot at. Never been disappointed running that 12 man unit.

[@warphammer-math]

with all the other investment... I think you might be right.

[@catosicarius3262]

Dis video i liked. You got the audio of both speakers much better this time. Hellblasters are still a lilttle on the expensive side for my taste but you COULD run them solo now with new Oath. Adding titus in there and having them drop via Uriel f.e. sounds very versatile for 300 pts. Also: Don't forget you can add 11% dmg on average for all these shooting attacks as 1/9 of the time people die and shoot again. Very interesting here would be a comparison betwen hellblasters and new sternguard with titus respectively into new oath target. And concerning your question at minute 21: The depiction of info is just fine imo.

[@lukeglendening4231]

Love hell blasters, loved this video. Putting hell blasters with fire disapline on the lieutenant is incredibly powerful. Sustainted hits and lethals on these guys are brutal.

[@masterch33fII7]

Comment for the comment god! These videos are fantastic! I love the vibes and breakdown. So, my only input would be to maybe include the number of models attacking in your graphs, because I didn’t catch at first how many HB in the squad you were representing, so I had to rewind.

[@bighairguy7]

I basically always run a 10 + 2 (a mix of Azrael, a Cap, a lieutenant, or an Apothecary) in my dark angels lists to incredible effect, although I think of them as quasi-expendable. My usual strategy is to point them at a priority target early and take advantage of “for the chapter” to waste it in a turn or two (in my play circle that’s usually Dreadknights, tanks, or tyrannid monsters). Anything they do after that is a bonus. That said before the fire discipline nerf they did GREAT work against backline deep strikes with fire overwatch (with a captain to always keep them in devastator doctrine). My friend dropped a squad of grey knight purifiers to try and take my home obj but the hellblasters (down 3 or 4 models) managed to take out 2/3s of the purifiers squad. That said it was in part because we both ruled that the “critical hits always hit” rule superseded the 6+ on overwatch, meaning the hellblasters were hitting overwatch on 5+ (and getting sustain and lethals from a lieutenant).

Love your channel my guy! Ive got one to run through your numbers, because I recently ran it through myself and honestly think it can one-shot anything in the game, even Morty! Black Templars, using the wrathful crusade detachment, but not including any BT keyworded units so still get the new Oath of Moment. Running the vow with sustained hits 1 army wide (melee). Ten assault intercessors led by a Lt with Sigismund's Seal (+1A to him, and critical hits on 5s for the unit). Popping 1CP to give them an additional -1AP. 36 chainsword attacks, three thunder hammers, six master crafted power weapons. Rerolling hits, +1 to wound, rerolling 1s to wound or full rerolls to wound on objectives. Sustained1 and Lethal Hits both going off on a 5+ (so can fish for both). For extra overkill fun against the dreaded Mortarion, throw in a captain with power fist, switch the enhancement to him rather than the Lt, pop his Finest Hour and use his free stratagem to give the unit the Anti Psyker 4+ vow for a turn too. With all his 9 attacks stacking anti-psyker and dev wounds on 4s at D2, he can potentially tank Morty on his own, although I suspect Disgusting Resilience would come into play (something which the 36+ chainsword attacks dont care about.

The New format is nice, I think I did prefer the additional graphs but the new one for when you have so many additional groupings based on the character works really well to not get overwhelming. That said, I really appreciate around the 18:30 mark where when indicating the increase in damage you added the notation of how many wounds that actually calculated to. The ones previously without that notation were harder to follow quickly. Yeah I could do the math in my head but it was helpful you put it there instead.

[@ethanneher921]

Having just completed my LSS Green Belt training, and using Warhammer to "practice" my math skills for said training, this platform really makes me happy; I knew I was doing something right. Requests: Ideally, Devastating Wounds pushes through 16.67% of your damage past the targets Armor/invulnerable saves. When is it better to hit large targets with Massed Dev wound, 1 damage weapons vs hitting them with anti-tank weapons. E.g.: Lascannons against Avatar of Khaine Vs Sternguard against Avatar of Khaine. Bonus (plus my favorite way to take out the Avatar): Salamanders Flamestorm Aggressors w/Immolation Protocols vs Avatar.

[@michielkreuse610]

this is killer math👍. I would like to see more.

[@DarthCasus]

I like, and prefer, to have all the extra information that you provide, it's very helpful. I prefer having the probabilities based on how many hits will go through rather than damage, unless the enemy has a Feel No Pain, then I prefer probabilities in Damage. In the example with the Terminators, if you overcharge you will need to have two hits go through on each terminator, since it's not based on damage, so a terminator squad of 5 goes down with 10 hits, not 15 damage on the overcharge. Just a little nitpick. Love the channel though, it's helping me immensely in my games!

@@jibjibs9401 when I got into the hobby I was only planning on painting and had no plans of ever playing the game so I could just paint the models whatever models I liked. Then I fell in love with Orks and just started building an actual army but it was during lockdown and none of my friends played so I couldn't go to a LGS store to learn how to play. Then next thing I know I have 1800 points of Orks, 1200 points of space wolves( I got the box set with Ghaz and Ragnar so why not start Space wolves), then I saw the Morty model and started death guard. Then I lost everything in a wild fire and had to rebuild my entire life so there was money for Warhammer. Then about a year ago things had settled down and I started painting as a meditation and bam almost 3000 points. I've tried to go learn how to play but I've developed such crippling social anxiety in the past couple years I just can't seem to make myself go learn. Sorry for trauma dumping.

@@warphammer-math I would really love to see y'all's models and look forward to it.

So glad I based my entire Space Marine army on these guys.

Love the video, super helpful. I'd love to see the numbers crunched on Sternguard, if you're up for it. I've got my eye on them for some flexible shooting in my next Blood Angels Angelic Inheritors list.

on it!
