In GW fashion
Genestealer Cult is all messed up. It’s like they shuffled the deck before scanning it in.
Don’t know where anything is…. I guess that’s fitting. They are ambushing

They are ambushing Yeah it's not really in any coherent order... cards popping up unexpectedly where you did not anticipate they would be... just as planned  |

They are ambushing I weirdly think that its roll AND alphabetic order, so HQ A-Z, then troops A-Z etc. At least that is what I realized they did with orks |

Digital rules are great but this distribution method really showcases that GW is years behind in this area. What 40k needs (and has needed for quite a while at this point) is something like what corvus belli does for infinity- a rules 'wiki' rather than just a pdf of a physical book, and then browser software that lets you search profiles on the fly.
Wahapedia really showcases what is possible, it's still kinda embarrassing it's looking like it's going to continue to be a necessary game aid going forward.

I have some hope for the new app coming in. Maybe it won't be bad?

something where you could just look up datasheets on the fly would be nice during game.

Abandon hope. That's a tough profile to deal with...I guess they only get 1 per unit since it's a Cannon. |

I mean... without miracle dice, it's not that great, even if you are within its rapid fire range.
Avg of 12 shots
6 hits if firing indirect (BS 4+) depending on what it's targeting, maybe even 8
Wounding on 3's for most infantry, but then youre going to re-roll all of them to hunt for 6's
4-6 wounds, maybe 2 as 6's if you're rolling hot
no AP, and your target benefits from cover if you're firing indirectly, so... anyone but marines are on 3+ saves now?
It's great if you roll 6's and/or casino the hell out of it and get a boxcar 18 shots from it and wound like you're playing Yahtzee.
Interestingly... I'm wondering how stack interactions work. Are Scarab Occult Terminators immune to Devastating wounds from this gun? Devastating that aren't Anti-"X" (like this) only score critical hits on natural 6's; but Scarab Occult terminators special rule is if they're being shot by a weapon with a higher Strength than their toughness, subtract 1 from the wound roll. So your natural 6 becomes a natural 5, still wounding, but not scoring a critical hit.

Probably just the hour but that string of calculations made my head hurt.

Call me old fashioned but in my day the 'unmodified' part of an 'unmodified six' indicated that the six was not modified.

yep, unmodified is unmodified, so no getting around critical hit / wound/lethal/devastating
