Do the trickster dice gods favour you in battle? I have a mixture sometimes they do but not when i really need them to.

Anyone got any tips for dice?

Myself I dont mention the number i dont want while im rolling as this will confuse the dice.

Also I find myself only using dice which are on ones when im rolling high and only on 6s when im rolling low.

Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony!

Point number 1, there is no skill in dice rolling other than making the dice land in a sensible place :D :lol: :lol:

Anyhoo I have reasonable luck with dice rolls, although recently in WHR I keep getting CRAP hit rolls (last battle my character never hit anything :lol:)

SEE SEE you were rude to the dice gods and so they show you unfavour!!

And no there is no skill to dice rolling but you must respect the dice gods.

jammy sod you must tell me some of your secrets.

I find putting the dice in a circle then putting one in the middle and crushing him with a hammer gets the other dice to behave,

You can't force or scare the dice gods, you must pay them respect

Yes , they definately do!!!

I was fighting with Gil-galad against 4 Mordor Trolls - I rolled sixes for each roll to wound against one troll after winning the fight - and killed it :D

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

The dice gods are strange, but i have earnt their favour. i play my brother, he starts off well(first two turns) but after that the dice gods favour me for the rest of the game. for an example my assault squad in the 2nd turn got all but taken out by a round of burst cannon fire (4 cassualties from 9 shots at BS 3), but later in the game i was able to take out his commander with my command squad, consolodate into a shasvre and kill him, then consolodate back into a narrow gap so his kroot could not surround me. although in that same game he rolled three 6s in a row to destroy my rhino with a pulse carbine!

haha nice. Another way to make them behave is decontamination. Put the offending dice ina plastic bag, see through one, and shake it. This usually works and it behaves

yeah that does work :D . i wasnt as upset because i parked it right there on purpose, but he missed with his rail rifles. that game was annoying for him because we were playing at alpha level so he had no way to get to my whirlwind that was reaking havoc on 3 of his squads.
