Does anyone have these? What other ways can you think of to bring luck and prosperity to your dice (I am convinced that mine are possessed by Khorne himself!).

I find that two hands clasped around a hammer have a larger influence on dice than a thousand clasped in prayer.

Not particularly. I've only had to do it twice. Once when a single dice rolled three ones for my orcs' animosity rolls on the turn that I declared a WAAAAAAAGH! The other was a genocide after plague zombies ate my nids

Simple. Ten seconds in a microwave. Dice is placed in with the one down. I find it works well to help my dice roll sixes. >_>
Joking. But no, I actually don't believe in luck. I believe in odds and gods, and they both hate my guts.

Think of the number you don't want to roll and the dice will do the opposite like the bastard it is. Works well in my area but otherwise...I advise against it.

If only you used a dice but had sixes on every side for a squad with rending now that would be sweet.

Dipped in holy water? They'd only roll well when your opponent is a vampire. Blessed by a rabbi? Only when the vampire is Jewish.

I'm pretty sure that the mixing of Jewish and Catholic faiths would at least cancel out, if not actually curse the dice.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

You line your dice up on a shelf. Pull out every 10th dice and place them on a concrete bloack and let the rest watch while you smash the chosen ones with a hammer. Performance improves drastically afterwards............

Never ask of your dice anything, ANYTHING.
The dice are malicious creatures, full of spite and a black sense of humour.
Right now I still feel the icy coldness of thier 21 eyes staring at me, watching me with contempt and waiting for thier next opportunity to hurt me again...
I digress
Yeah don't ask them to do something, they will, like a petulant child, do the exact opposite!

The non-paranoid version of the above as soon as you think they'll do awesome or want them to be awesome they fail. Just roll and enjoy the results.
My blue GW dice are awesome, so much that the opponents usually stop using theirs and start using mine. They usually get the right roll, enough to be considered lucky. If I need a LD test, they're low. Hits, wounds and saves are usually high. Plus they are just as lucky when the oppoent does use them
I think it's because they're blue and I've used them everytime I've played Orks. Although I have had games when they've been really crappy, like the time I brought red dice, the blue ones sucked for roughly three weeks. But whenever they roll badly they seem to roll decently the next game. My suggestion would be blue dice and believing blue is extremly lucky like the Orks.
Also don't get them blessed if you play loyalist Imperials, the Emprah hates religion.
