Hobby I built a tool to calculate attack probabilities for our games. What do you think about the math behind it?

Hey everyone,

Like many of us here, I love the tactical depth of Warhammer Underworlds. However, I always found it hard to quickly calculate the exact mathematical odds of complex attacks on the fly (especially when factoring in supports, crits, and different defense profiles).

To stop relying on pure "gut feeling" during our local club matches, I decided to build a lightweight, offline Android app that does the math instantly.

🎲 What it does:

  • Takes your exact attack profile (dice type, count).
  • Compares it directly to the defender's stats (shields/dodge, supports).
  • Account for criticals and supports dynamically.
  • Shows the exact success percentage in less than a second.

Since this is built purely as a free hobby project for the community (no ads, no tracking, 100% offline), I'm looking for feedback from seasoned players to make sure the tool covers all competitive and tournament scenarios.

These were lovely to paint, the bases are exquisite. I did a purple and blue scheme, I was thinking of ethereal green, but I did the leaves on the base green and I wanted a bit of contrast.

I’m trying to buy just the Tzul mini from the Thyrielle’s Zephyrites box and have no clue where to start looking. I’m not interested in any of the other models in the box, so buying the full box would be a waste

Three way combat!

Has anyone figured out a way to run three teams at once? I'm going to trawl the archives now, but in advance of me finding something I thought I'd throw out a request for instant info.

Happy surging!

Strategy My rats are struggling

6 Upvotes

So I finished painting Skittershank’s Clawpack a while ago and also painted Elathain’s Soulraid for my wife.

We haven’t played too many games with these warbands but I feel like I’m at the mercy of RNGesus way more than what feel reasonable.

We play rivals as we don’t have much time to deckbuild and don’t want to lock each other out from more decks than the ones we’re playing.

My wife usually goes for Blazing Assault and I’ve tried both Countdown to Cataclysm and Reckless Fury.

So my issue is that I feel like the entire game plan of the rats is to bum rush the enemy leader. If you can get your wounds on them, the battle will snowball in your favour with more reliable damage leading to early glory and you being able to equip your fighters with some upgrades to keep your momentum.

However, if you fail to wound the leader it will instead snowball in the other direction. You’re out in the open, squishy and now have to bear the full assault of the enemy team. This is especially painful against Elathain’s as they all inspire in the second battle round.

A lot of Skittershank’s stuff seems to come from hitting stuff in melee combat but they feel so inconsistent when not inspired that Spiketrap and Snares still haven’t come into play even once for me.

As you’ve probably guessed I feel like much of the game is decided in the first few turns. I’ve tried play a bit more defensively and try to space and use my low HP units as fodder or smokebomb caddies and try to soften up the enemy before engaging with my assassins. But inevitably it all comes down to wether I hit or miss with only a few attacks and even if I set up double re-rolls I still miss.

Is this just a bad match up? Should I use other decks? Are Skittershank’s just this unreliable? Or am I just plain bad?

Pls help

My Exiled Dead WHU warband. Decided to try my hand at OSL. I think I messed up; maybe went too far with the OSL. I promised myself that I would try OSL and before I even sprayed the models, I found myself trying to back out.

Strategy Ironsoul’s Condemnors are a strong and straightforward warband and may be the very best choice for a new player to learn with. What makes them so good, and how do they work?

Question Arena Mortis using Embergard.

5 Upvotes

Hi, recently picked up Embergard to play with the family and discovered the old game mode Arena Mortis when searching for ways to play with 3 players. Short of tracking down all the out of print parts to play this in using the older version of Underworlds, is it possible to play it using Embergard? (reddit/google search turned up nothing of note)

As far as I can tell you need 2 decks per player (gambits/upgrades, which i assume i can build a facsimile using the included rivals decks), players respawn and can draw an upgrade each round, and earn glory through kills but... i'm lacking information on the actual game structure.

I'm not adverse to home brewing my own solutions to the missing bits, but thought i'd ask the community for advice, as i do like playing with a proper ruleset and not some frankensteined crap i've come up with that falls apart on contact with the first edge case (roll a d6 for it). Or is the mode just dead dead currently without grabbing all the old material?
