20 rolls simply isn't enough to establish whether it's loaded or not, especially with 5 deviating. I've had runs where I've rolled 20 dice for 3+ and failed 0, and I've had it where I failed every single one. It happens, it's the nature of dice.

So, after testing it, refuse to play if it's actually loaded. Non-loaded mans after 100 rolls you see roughly equal odds of rolling each side of the die.

There is literally nothing else any of us can tell you/help you with.

I'm trying to work out how the OP thinks the words "friendship" and "cheating" belong anywhere near each other.

If the person is knowingly using a bad die then this person is not a friend. Act accordingly and stop playing.


Wow way to go with a black and white view of the world.

Everything I say, barring quotes and researched information, is my personal opinion. Not fact.

Sorry OP but if it's up for community use and they're letting you use it but you refuse, then it's on you for that. I'm not advocating using a "loaded die" but if everyone gets a shot it's only fair. It might not be an "honourable" solution but it is a fair one.


It's only fair if each side uses scatter dice equally and in equally important ways - so not really at all. OP even said it would benefit him way more than his opponent, since he plays IG. Both sides cheating doesn't resolve the situation.

Man , your buddies are donkey-caves no offense.

If I lose it is because I had bad luck, if you win it is because you cheated.

No one wants a leman russ that always hits, thats insane. I love blasts, no scatter would be a boon but would put my opponent at a severe disadvantage, i want to play a balanced game just like everybody else on the forum.

It was a good run.

I really don't see the difficulties. Smash the dice with a good sledgehammer and buy him a new one. Problem solved. He gets a scatter die, you get to destroy the loaded one. Just be sure to give a replacement and it should be fine. Anything else and he is willfully and absolutely cheating and shouldn't be in the game.

The sledgehammer is optional though. I just happen to like bringing hammers into warhammer when there's a chance.

Well, I bet you're happy that you didn't follow the advice that said to shove it down your friend's throat then...




Moving along, nothing to see here.

Well now that we've found this whole thread was a waste of time since the die wasn't really loaded.

It doesn't change the fact that one army should get penalized because it uses a certain army. The certain fact that it's benefiting anyone is crap but that doesn't mean it makes it right. The only fair options are either everyone uses it or nobody uses it. His friend insisted on bringing in what he thought was a loaded die, so everyone should get to use it. It would be a different story if the Guard player was the one with the dice but it wasn't so I don't understand why it makes a difference.

There is exactly one way to handle players with loaded dice




Nothing to do but to bring a list that packs in the templates and demand to use that die.



Your one-stop website for batreps, articles, and assorted goodies about the men of Folera: Foleran First Imperial Archives. Read Dakka's favorite narrative battle report series The Hand of the King. Also, check out my commission work, and my terrain.

True, I was a few posts away from seeing it before I decided to put forth a simple solution.

A few seconds longer and I may have realized it.

Oh well. Meh.

Urinate all over the table. That solves the problem.

I mean, some of these suggestions people are giving is pretty wack. Just tell him he's a prick and that it's not cool.
