Welcome!!!

This is a blog that has been on the tip of my mind for some time....

I am Euclid, a player of Games-Workshop games for over 15 years now. I am also an amateur statistician, having a bachelor's degree in finance and mathematics. This blog is going to be dedicated to two main aspects:

1) The rise and fall of my space marine chapter, "The Sons of Euclid" This will include painting progress, army lists, battle reports, and tournament reports.

2) A mathematical and statistical analysis of our decisions in Warhammer 40k to include the mathematical viability of different units and upgrades in list building as well as decision making during the game itself. 40k is a game ruled by numbers...be those the one's we roll, the points we spend, the characteristics we use, the distance we move and shoot....we can maximize our play by knowing the formulas that are constantly being processed with every move we make in 40k. We can choose to learn them and go into our games with that knowledge, or play blindly to what is happening around us.

Welcome
