In case you're all wondering I moved this to it's own thread to stop the Dragon Strike one going too far off topic.

It's my fault! I digressed too much!

I long ago abandoned the idea that Warhammer Fantasy Battle profiles could be converted directly to HQ stats

Mee too.. but I'm recurrent! I would like to succed in this project because I've got some Warhammer stuff, and I would like to utilize it as much as possible. (And because I like very much strange mathematical conversions).

The number of Dice rolled should be based on the Warhammer 'Strength' stat (the number of dice rolled in HQ effects the maximum amount of damage you can potentially do) the likely hood of doing said damage in HQ is down to how many Skulls are on the dice and there for the 'Dice Setting' should be based on Warhammer's WS and BS stats (depending on if it's a close-combat or ranged attack respectively) because WS and BS in Warhammer represent how good a model is at hitting an opponent.

Yes, I realized this error too, this is the first bug I want to fix (actually with this correction the monsters tend to became less powerful )

Please note that in Warhammer ranged weapons have their own set Strength and do not rely on the user's Strength. Therefore the creatures Strength should not be applied to Ranged Weapons when converting to HQ  

I know, I 'm taking into consideration

For all the other suggestions, critiques, personal experiences: THANKS A LOT!
Like I said before, this is a "pre-alpha", and I need to know the others points of view, it helps me so much! As soon as possible I will post an upgrade of the conversion, and I'll try to testing it. I'm hopeful!
