Get really large dice. When rolling, fling it at your opponent's head. As he regains consciousness, tell him you passed all your rolls. No, seriously, don't do that.

I use trick dice that always land on either 4 5 or 6. Thing is, I say that theyre only 'lucky' when i spit on them, which i do every roll. This makes my opponent want to use his own dice. I also have several other normal dice, which are not trick dice but i spit on them anyway to keep him guessing ![]() I know, genius squeeks |

The only dice rolling technique I can heartily recommend is; Always throw away from your army. I went through a phase of rolling something like 20 dice per throw, always managing to get at least one of my main units in the way of the cascade. Think a real life interpretation of ground zero for the Comet of Cassandra. For long minutes afterward I'd be picking up spear tips, shields and arguing about whether the dice actually resting on a Clanrats's foot could count as a naturally rolled '6'. Oh, and always colour code your dice or at least get a number of different sized ones. My other pet trick was to grab up any stray dice to roll, inevitably picking up the one I was using to keep track of the number of wounds left on my Seer/Dragon/War Machine etc etc. If however, symbiont, you are asking for a 'good luck' technique, I can heartily recommend my 'lucky mug' which comfortably houses up to 25 standard D6's. It's a giant coffee cup emblazoned with the Everton Football club crest and I swear by its ability to pull out a high number of 6's, no matter what types of dice you put in it (which puzzled me enormously when I used a D3, but I digress..... ) Swirl the dice around as you would a drink, then dump with a flourish into a nice wide space on the battlefield. And I always - ALWAYS utter the line 'You know it's funny how many sixes I get doing it this way' - because the look on my opponent's face when it invariably happens is truly priceless.
