Chaos Space Marines are still waiting on that second wound. Loading Comments So technically you have a little room to scoot it over, right? Does that ever matter? Bennyboy, the model in the rulebook doesn't show a 5th rank, so I think it would indicate 21 is the maximum.
Obviously 21 can't be hit in a 20 person unit. Here is what i get. I think you can get 13 dead-center anyways for 25mm bases. Mostly because if you even clip a base, even just a smidge, it counts as a full-on hit.
The reason this is difficult is that 25mm rarely align so that a full 5x4 block has no gaps between models, as well as the fact that you're pretty much going "I have an Empire Sword's width overtop the base's slanted side, ergo it's a hit" and that's very debatable. Updated my first post. Last night we almost had a chance to measure a 5" template on my spearmen unit, my opponents stupid hellcannon kept missing :p.

I just plonk the template down and agree with my opponent. But, if we really want to know: The bases that are in line with the centre of the template can easily be worked out if we know the base size and the radius of the template.
The other bases are a bit more complex, but possible. We can use pythagoras for this, if we assume we are placing the template on the centre of a single model. Now add half for the centre base. Multiply this number by the base size. So, a model on 20mm bases might have 2 horizontally and 3 vertically between it and the centre.
The distance to the target model is SQR 2. If this is less than the radius of the template, the model's hit. This might be a bit long-winded, but if someone wanted to produce a table, this is how they could do it.
With either of these results, it would be possible to produce a squared-off template for each base size that automatically covers the optimum number of models.
And that, dear readers, is what "too much information" means. But and mostly for nos , the rules don't say it has to be the exact center. The hole is much smaller than the 25mm base and it is extremely easy to still be completely over a particular model and not be over its edge, but still gain a few extra hits.
I'm thinking 14 is the right number for 25mm. Why does trying to do more damage make you "that guy". I know it doesnt need to be over the centre, I was just adding that an assumption based on 25mm bases is flawed.
Of course, complicating all of this is the fact that even if there's an optimal number of bases that are covered, you'd only actually get that optimal number against a square block of bases. If someone gets bored and reforms into a 1x20 or 3x7 formation Agreed, if I place a template over a unit of 25mm and then say 13 hits, because that is the REAL number, and my opponent says it can only ever be 9, then my opponent is being TFG. Its ok if I have to explain it, but if my opponent cant grasp the concept after I explain it and makes me bust out spare bases, arrange them 3x4, and put a template on top, then he is being TFG.
Mind you, I am talking about a timed tourney setting, where my opponent basicly grinds the game to a halt unless I let him get less hits than I deserve or I find some extra bases. In a friendly game busting out the bases is the best way--there is no time limit and no need to force a decision on the opponent.
My point is often my buddy will say "put it over the middle, whatever gets the most. As cool looking as the new blast templates are for Fantasy, I have trouble determining what exactly lies beneath the template. I printed out graph paper with 25 mm squares and 20 mm squares. Centering each template over a square, I traced the exterior of a 40K blast template for the 3" and 5" blast diameter.
After counting anything that was touched by the circle described, I came up with the following values: 3" Blast template: 20 mm - 21 bases 25 mm - 13 bases 5" Blast template: 20mm - 44 bases 25 mm - 21 bases Again, this is centered in a base, not an edge or odd placement.
And if the edge of a base was touched, even a smidge, then I counted it. I believe you can squeeze one more hit in on 3" 25 mm if you edge it over just a little bit.
