An R package full of useful functions for simulating dice rolling in Warhammer 40k 8th edition.
There are 3 major functions:
to_attack()to_wound()to_save()
All of these are powered by the roll_dice() function.
run_examples() lists the avaliable shiny demos.
Mathhammer is the name used by the 40k community for analyzing the effectiveness of individual units. For a primer, I recommend this DakkaDakka primer. Mathhammer is really just the application of probability and statistics to wargaming -- which is about as nerdy as it gets.
This package is not on CRAN. To use it, you'll have to install from GitHub.

This package powers a webapp for rolling dice. It is great for horde armies.
