Ratling Gun; Do the math...

I have only used the ratling gun once or twice, and i enjoy the luck of it. I believe that calculating Skaven weapons is wrong, they are meant to be random. It is just the luck of the dice that makes it fun!
Talking about misfires, in all the time i've had my Warplightning cannon, it's only worked once :wacko:

I love it when I roll that 3rd dice (I LOVE IT)... and get the only number I could roll to get maximized hits and no misfire...

I've done 4,5,6 twice in my skaven-carrer... damn, I love 15 auto-hits against T3 knights... screw THAT armor... They're making 4+ saves now... hee-hee.
When you think everything is going your way- some little snot-nosed brat gets in the way and ruins your day. This little punk does something so simple that completely destroys any chance of you having a good year. This SoB didn't even know that their actions would have such an abysmal impact upon your life. Geez, some people are so insensitive.

Why stop at three dice? I've rolled 4. (But no more than that.) Admittedly, the first rolls were 1,2 and 4 or something, but I never settle for less than 9 hits. Keep firing! MORE DICE!

But seriously, what is the maximum number of dice people have used for the ratling gun? Has anybody ever seriously rolled 5 dice?

Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?"

Once.. as a joke. I stopped at 4 (and had a lot of hits) and my opponent -a good friend- kept poking my shoulder and said 'oh come on.. one more!'.
So I did.. and it didn't even missfire. :D

We were both stunned.. then had a good laugh about it (and I did only count the 4 first dice.. and still shot him to kingdom-come)

I usually throw 3. sometimes 4. The wierd thing is.. usually I throw a missfire with my 2dn dice <_< . I recall soo many double 5's with two dice.. it aint funny anymore ;)

Here are my greatest experiences with ratling guns:

In one battle against bretonnians I sfired my ratling gun in a cobat between 1 unit of Knights of the realm and one my Clanrat units (the knights had charged the previous turn and my clanrat held their ground)

I rolled a total of three dice and I get around 14 shots (don't remeber exactly) and only one shot hit my clanrats was saved when I rolleda 1 for wounding and the rest of the shots totally annihilated the whole knights of the realm unit that was soo sweet! :D

IN another battle one of my ratling guns earned my a total of 438 pts by blowing away a unit of pegasus knights, killing a knights of the realm units and killing the enemy genral in a stand and shot reaction but unfortunatly they died by an arrow in the following Bretonnian turn(In honor of these two brave and honorable "heroes"of clan skyre I painted the number 438 on the side of their base in memory of this great feat.)

I guess I was really lucky both times. :lol:

actually I was playing a battle with them today, and this was how it went

turn one - got into position

turn two - double fours, but luckly hit a unit

turn three - double ones

turn four - double ones

turn five - one, two, three, three but still hit the unit!

turn six - double fives, they explode resulting in my hand nearly throwing them across the room.

now what are the chances of that! :angry:

FEAR THE LEMMING!
I've managed to shoot a unit of Skeletel horse men (8) down in one turn with the ratling...
The next turn I proceeded to kill the other unit of 8 skeletal horsemen.
They I proceeded to chase the Heriophant and the Tomb Prince for a few turns...
