My luck will change eventually   :down:

No it won't.

But your luck isn't terrible. You fail DTT, and rally tests. And roll poorly on some assalts and shooting actions. But you make so many f'n armour saves that it at least partly balances out.

Yeah, but you do not win games on Armour tests alone ..   :;):

I've don't know of anybody that makes as many Invulnerable saves as you do.

How many people do you know? As far as I know it is me and Moses...    :laugh:

People stating that I am successful at alot of saves are all incorrect.

The reason I make invulnerable saves is because I have previously failed armour saves. The fact that I am having to make alot of saves is due to taking assault forces and also because of the tragic luck I have had with close assaults in the past. It is everyone else's failure to recognise all the failures that I have had that people only concentrate on the successful dice rolls. I have enough recorded reports to show battles lost not due to strategy but to dumb luck.

What is correct is that I am about average in luck (like other people) with more of a lean to being unlucky than anything else. Just because a 6 is rolled for an invulnerable is usually because a 3+ or 4+ has been previously failed. Also that 6 was not rolled in assaults and so forth. It all depends on where it matters.

Actually, I was referring to Armour Saves in general. With the exception of Terminator (4+RA) Saves (and even then, the profile on that is skewed), you make more 4+ and better saves than normal. I don't know anyone who makes more Rhino/Chimera saves than you do.

You need to play more people.

The fact that I am having to make those saves is because some schmuk is shooting far too many weapons at my army.

Maybe it is you that makes too many hits. The saves I make have not won me many games. I daresay it is my opponents that are above average luck in their hits.

Where is the proof that I make above average saves?   :p

This battle report that you are replying to is a great example of rotten luck including armour saves (re: Ravager Titan).

Explain that.    :laugh:

now now Frogbear, Morgan's just pulling your chain :) Gotta admit though, I was fairly astounded at the no. of invulnerable saves you made (5 on 1 skull lord?) though I'm equally astounded by the no. of failed DTT you make too. Perhaps it's just 6's that are your problem  :p

Morgan and I are always throwing 'digs' at each other. It was my fault for not placing the smiley's up to provide the tone.

I will try and get more of that Necron game up tonight with any luck. Depends on how the painting of the World Eaters progresses.   :agree:
