Hammer of Math: Pariah Nexus Deployments

This week's Hammer of Math takes a step away from probability and heads back to middle school to examine the geometry of the Pariah Nexus deployments. It's weird to think that 10th Edition is a year old. In a way...

Hammer of Math: Loota Logic and Fishing for Crits

This week's Hammer of Math goes DAKKA-DAKKA-DAKKA! and takes a look at the optimal play for Ork Lootas in a Dread Mob Detachment. One of the more enjoyable things about 40k is the way that players take the rules designed...

This week's Hammer of Math takes a look at how long it takes units to escape big tarpit threats that can tie your units up in melee for multiple rounds. Depending on the edition melee can either be a massive...

Necromunday: Spyrers in the Underhive

Welcome scummers! This weekend's Warhammer Preview included the reveal of a new season called Hive Secundus, featuring one of the most feared threats in older versions of Necromunda; the Spyrer! Players of the 1995 version of Necromunda will recall, sometimes...

Hammer of Math: Knight Shields

This week's Hammer of Math looks at the calculus behind when to best utilize certain Stratagems and Enhancements to protect Imperial and Chaos Knights. If Knights have one thing going for them (and usually they have more than that), it's...

Hammer of Math: Green Tide Boyz Resiliency

This week's Hammer of Math gets stuck in with the Boyz and looks at how difficult it is to kill a unit of Ork Boyz in a Green Tide when they're led by a Painboy. Orks is best. That is...

Hammer of Math: Probabilities in Conquest

Hammer of Math: Custodes Durability in the 10th Edition Codex

This week's Hammer of Math looks at how much less valuable Custodes got as a result of the recent changes to their codex, and whether it's possible to quantify Rob's joy as a result. Warhammer 40k is a game of...

It’s Probably Smarter Than You: Goonhammer Reviews the Saturn 4 Ultra

Hammer of Math: Orky Extra-[HAZARDOUS] Weapons

This week's Hammer of Math succumbs to the temptation and pushes The Button on Test with the new Ork Codex. April brings about many changes. Spring has arrived in full force, the days get longer, Maryland gives us a...

About Me

Resident math nerd, printing tech priest, and overall giant human. Kevin's been playing 40k since 2nd edition, back when everyone could bring a Vortex Grenade and you could murder an entire Imperial Guard army before Turn 1. He spends more time thinking about army composition and mathhammer than actually playing. He's a moderately good — but extremely lazy — painter who loves kitbashing and using 3D printing to make new bits. Kevin is the primary author of the “Hammer of Math” regular series on Goonhammer, which updates every Monday.
