The attack sequence

How do you calculate damage in Warhammer 40K?

Run the full attack sequence without trusting one hot or cold dice roll. The calculator resolves exact per-roll odds, then uses 50,000 simulated attack sequences for damage inflicted, models destroyed, and the kill distribution. You can see how often the unit whiffs, how often it wipes the target, and how swingy the trade really is.
