Recursion is fun

In preparation for the onset of WHFB 8th Ed.'s magically exploding heads and at the request of YodasLuck, I evaluated the probability of double or more 1s or 6s relative to the number of dice being thrown. Math below the cut, and I leave the implications of the probabilities as an exercise to the reader.

2 dice: 2/36 (6%)
3 dice: 32/216 (15%)
4 dice: 342/1296 (26%)

And on a related topic, I've simulated what the difference between 2d6 would be to get an idea of the distribution of power dice versus dispel dice, assuming no army bonuses to either:
0: ~16.5%
1: ~28%
2: ~22%
3: ~17%
4: ~11%
5: ~5.5%

13 Jul Edit: Updated the mathematics to be far less complicated (less fun, but much more readable), and added other sim results
22 Jul Edit: Added power dice sim results to bottom of post

Game Kastle 40k 1500pt Tourney

Took a couple of pictures of the armies playing at the tourney. Does it seem like Game Kastle terrain force close combat armies to show up? I'll let you comment.

Winner from 'ard Boys army.

2010 Resolution Redux

From this post on Jan 1st: http://xenoturkeyhunters.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year-or-2010-resolutions.html, here's the status of my painting and building at the halfway point of the year.
My White Scars combat squad with veteran Sergeant and a power fist. Shoulder pads are painted in the 3rd Company colors. A coat of white was applied to the armor, along with gunmetal on the boltguns. Next up, more white and a couple of lightning bolts on the legs.

Here's the complete High Elf army for 7th Edition. There are 20 Archers in 2 groups of 10. The General, Hero, and mage are standing in front of the Repeating Bolt Throwers. There are 15 White Lions behind the left RBT. 11 Phoenix Guard are in the back center, and 16 Swordmasters are on the right.

Should I continue to work on the HE and get them to a legal 8th Ed setup? Or should I get relief on the resolutions and tailor them to something I can complete? Any and all comments are welcome.
