Landraider vs Carnifex

[IonThunder]

you know, if a strength 3 unit is equal to a standard human being, and a space marine is strength 4 and can crush a rock to paste in his hand, a strength 9 Carnifex can flip over a land raider. after all, it can get a total of 21 in armor penatration

Its strength may never exceed 10. 2d6 for armor penetration is gone.

i think he wasn't talking about the rules. but just fluff wise in general.

i think normal human is around strength 2. imperial guard is a very strong standard human like a body builder strong. Space marine is about twice as strong as a imperial guard.

So every one point increased in strength the actual strength is roughly double.

Cultists and raw Conscripts are S3 as well, as are weedy Eldar. Only tiny Gretchin are actually S2.

The scale seems to be more along the lines of something exponential than something linear, tho it's pretty fast and loose.

Logarithmic, I would think. The scale levels out at the top.

Good point. There's not that much difference between S9 and S10. I was mostly thinking about the gap between S3 and S4 covers the ability to tear apart armour plating with one's bare hands. Yeah, Logarithmic sounds right.
