Scatter Dice - Deep Striking and Templates

I’m currently working on a few new shooting statistics, but in the meantime I thought I’d throw out a handy table I made a while ago. If you are wondering what the chances that your scatter dice send your template or deep-striking units off into oblivion look no further!

For example say I’m contemplating deep striking my Daemon Prince into a tight space with three inches all around him. I’d look in the table at 2D6 Deep Strike and find that the chances of him scattering at most 3” are a measly 39%.

If, however, I get to 1D6 deep-strike the chances of my unit scatter at most 3” increases to 67%! This is a pretty big advantage and allows anyone with access to this rule (Blood Angles) to be a little more aggressive in their deep striking.

You can also see how likely your template weapons are to scatter given your ballistic skill.

Enjoy!
