Don't know about that, the rumoured third price increase coming through next month will likely make the "leather dice rolling cup" edition out of most peoples reasonable price range at about £30.

Man, dice are way to overpowerd now, I could swear the fifth edition is turning into some sort of dice rolling edition.

Yet another way to take options from Chaos. Way to go GW!

I can't way to see these spammed in every net list from here out....

Read the back of the book. It's hilarious.

I really enjoyed this. Games Workshop never disappoints with their April Fools jokes

I'll just leave this here...

Spoiler:

It's the magic of Citadel Dice, no other dice can bend space around them to ensure accuracy.

Are you still required to check LOS to the number on the die you want?

My days of simply throwing dice at my opponent and hoping they land on the table are over. I can finally learn the fine art of keeping it roughly in one place AND not spend an hour at the end of every game looking for stragglers!

The surest sign that this is an april fool's article is that there is no link that allows you to directly add this product to your shopping cart, nor any suggestion that not one, but three, of these books would make the "ideal gift for any gamer".

HERESY!!!
THE ALMIGHTY DICE GODS WILL PUNISH THE HERETICS!!!

considering the stigma of "GW dice" being rigged in my local group - (everyone thinks gw dice are loaded either for extreme good luck or bad luck) this just adds to the issue.... still good laugh for the day.

I love this fool! Still, the spray gun from last year was better!

even if the book was real it wouldnt be very good! They're using small rounded dice

Man i want this book it has to be real i cnat wait for the infomecial to come out! when is it realesed?... april fools right?

Ohhhhh ahhhh no Samus_aran115, you can't let the cat out of the bag, we almost had them fooled.

gw can be pretty stupid sometimes:( they will have to probley make it now because printing one book out is probley less money productive than printing a whole batch of them.anyway I have sarted a thred too: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/357717.page

KenzerCo actually put a jokey dice guide into HackMaster which included a few pages on methods of rolling dice. Since, they've posted it for free on their website:

Don't joke at this, it's a sign of things to come

Sad but true.

Lol too funny. I should buy an all 6 sided dice just to mess with people before rolling off to see who goes first at my FLGS.

"limited edition foam Safety Dice" For Teh Win

Not as good as last years April Fools (actually fooled me at first before I read the whole article and saw the painted figures), but still funny.

Ah, the age old "Schroedinger's dice" issue.

Ha. Man, I hate not knowing if my dice are alive or dead until I open the box. Will that be in the FAQ? Can I still use my dice if they turn out to be alive? Do I need their permission? Maybe I'd get some better die rolls!

guys, i think we should hold off on buying this. i heard a VERY reliable rumor from a red shirt on the internet (if you can't trust that, what can you?!?!?) that they'll be coming out with a signed hardcover limited edition version with a pleather dice rolling cup in a few months. i know this one seems worth it but the next version will be so much better!

sadly, that 'few months' that you speak of will, based on GW's record with codex releases, not roll around for another two years at least, and when it does they will have gakked it all up so that the 'six sided army of dice' will be more powerful than any other army released to date.

IE, we will see things like Lascannon dice, range: unlimited or as far as you can throw it, Strength: X (if you can hit your opponent and leave a mark that matches the pips on the dice in the middle of his forehead, then it is considered to be of 'D' strength, any other circumstance depends on whether your a man, a girl, or a girly man.) AP: X (if your opponent hits the floor screaming after being hit by the dice or needs to have 911 called, then the AP is 1, if your opponent yells ouch and ducks the next die throw then it is AP 3, all other circumstances are based on the same values used to determine weapon str.) *Special Rules: Citadel dice are always considered to be Range:unlimted, Str: 9, AP: 1.

I had a red shirt try to sell this to me, I kid you not.

Awesome just awesome

I found this amusing, but people's jokes about it in this thread are not.
