We just remember the really bad dice and really good dice - not all the rolls in between. Heck I used to have a dice buying addiction as I just usually scoured ebay for good deals on Casino and flat colored dice. <br /><br />Right now I just have some Casino dice, random yellow wound dice, and just solid black with red pips dice I got when in Vegas from one of those cheesy gift stores. They were 12 for a dollar and the color is easy to see on the table top and they are big enough to feel solid as you roll them. They look like the Kerplunk or whatever dice you find online.<br /><br />Really I just want people to have dice I can read. That is the most important thing.Thomas aka Goatboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473515228765680402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-61846167737710201232013-02-22T14:15:19.700-05:002013-02-22T14:15:19.700-05:00I think there are weird luck sinks too.

I on the otherhand will roll ten dice, all hit and 6 of them are 6's. <br /><br />Then he goes off to play somebody else and his dice are normal ... except for the part where dark lances don't do anything.

Starter set dice always seem to be terrible, while Purple dice seem to always be rolling boxcars for me. I also placed really well in a tourney using house dice, so I always reach for the "unlucky" house dice. It's fun and I really have never noticed anything so far out of average realistically that I would say it wasn't legit ... except for those starter set dice!TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-28782628540770474892013-02-22T12:10:17.584-05:002013-02-22T12:10:17.584-05:00If I went to tournaments, I might look into seeing...If I went to tournaments, I might look into seeing whether my dice could be a problem, but as it is, I'm happy with my cheapish dice from Orc's Nest.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16429083422956872722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-34768011690715369252013-02-22T11:59:30.762-05:002013-02-22T11:59:30.762-05:00I use my custom dice for Mantis Warriors, Tyranids...I use my custom dice for Mantis Warriors, Tyranids, and Beastmen because I think they look cool. They're from Chessex and I've never had a problem with them. <br /><br />They're more expensive since they have a custom logo, but they really round out a sweet army well.mugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897915677573578644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-91469820036913640612013-02-22T11:06:06.054-05:002013-02-22T11:06:06.054-05:00For me, middle ground is square corner dice over r...For me, middle ground is square corner dice over rounded corner dice. Rounded corners facilitates more rolling. I found some 36 bricks from some company called uncles hobbys or something that had square corners and were like $7 a brick. They do very well for 40K - very average.Tristan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14542205146980688446noreply@blogger.com
