Strength 2 against toughness 4 means you roll a 6+ to wound Strength 3 against toughness 4 means you roll a 5+ to wound Strength 4 against toughness 4 means you roll a 4+ to wound
Strength 5 against toughness 4 means you roll a 3+ to wound Strength 8 against toughness 4 means you roll a 2+ to wound Here’s a quick easy-to-remember break down: Respectively, if my strength was less than my opponent’s toughness I would need to roll a 5 or higher to succeed. If my strength was equal to my opponent’s toughness, I would need to be rolling a 4 or higher. I would need to roll a 3 or higher again. If the strength is greater than my opponent’s toughness it’ll be easier for me to succeed. We do this by comparing the strength of your weapon against the toughness of your opponent’s unit.
Next, we’re going to see how much damage your guns actually did to your opponent. If your ballistic skill is 3+ then you need to roll a 6 sided die and if it lands on a 3 or higher it hits. I do this by looking up the statistic called the ballistic skill. Now you’re going to see how accurate your unit is at shooting. How to play Warhammer 40k 9th Edition explained in 10 minutes or less
