Whenever my Rhinos get immobilised, I always seem to repair it, and people at my Local GW are confused to see why pretty every time i roll for repair i get a 6.

Do you have any specific rolls when you do particularly well?

In 40k it's always storm bolter shots i seem to do well in...
However, in WHFB i do incredibly well in Ward saves.

I seem to be luckier in one than the other...

my daemons scatering. 6 dead ons in the last game a played and two scater (a 4" to no where special and a 6" into some trees which i then pased all 10 DT tests). I had no misshaps EVER untill my second last game i played where i scatterd 12" three times (twice off the board killing a unit and delaying another and the other on an enemy unit which got placed by oponent) and another scater into another unit, cant remeber what hapened.

I kind of have this as my love-hate relationship with SAG. I just started fieldign the things last month and every game I have either gotten double 6's... or double ones

still makes for pretty entertaining moments either way.

best case was knocking a squad of th/ss termies off the board... worst for me was eating 1/2 a loota squad(full 15 man squad), the big mec, 1 zzap gun w/ 3 crew, and a few shoota boys... the lootas ran away failing leadership and the zzap was the last gun so the crew vanished.. oen set of double ones cost me like 400 points >_<

just reminded me of the unique spiked knuckes on New Vegas (love-hate)

scatter die when deep striking and lobbing ordance it always dead on or 1 or 2" to the left

Saying that, I always roll a 6 for my Necron Lord's phylactery.

My best Double 6 was either gaz and 5 nobs which won me the game as i would have lost my objectives if i hadent or 5 termies with termie captain and termie librarian.

I would love to see 5,5 zoink into a unit of termie some how break out and then 1,1 boom killing the mek and the termies

your Phylactery FTW

I too have deadly storm bolters for example on wednesday night I had fired 10 krak missiles at some long fangs and only one died and yet two storm bolter shots took out 2 more leading them to run off the board.

My Leman Russ Punisher's gatling seems to have the favor of the dice gods. And my thunderfire cannon seems to know where it is supposed to scatter.

My cover saves are great, normally. Had a player actually state I microwaved my dice at one point, the butthurt bastard.

One guy I played swore that the dice could be influenced by the way he rolled them. His demonstration failed, and he said they needed to be a different kind of dice. Yeah, those are called weighted nice.

I rolled all ones for an 8 man termintor squad. I sat there open mouthed, as did several other people, and then just started laughing

My rolls seem to be inversly proportional to probability. For Example:

Zoanthropes making 7 Saves:

1,1,2,3,2,1,1

Raider Making Flicker Fields:

5,5,6,3,2,5,4,6

I seem to have decent rolls with a Heavy Bolter in tac squads. Camp at the back and open fire and I've managed to down a few neat items, like a Vyper in one match and a Chaplain & Belail in another match.

Meanwhile Meltaguns don't like me. I either miss or don't pen. When I do I roll crap on the damage chart Stupid Imperial tech - Ork weapons work better.

im very good at bad inv's (flicker fields, daemons saves of 5+ ect..) as long as its very important for me to pass them

When I roll scattering for my Chaos Vindicator cannon, it almost always doesn't scatter ^^
Moreover, it seems I have some kind of power to make opponent players to get incredible bad luck. I killed Lord Kaldor Draigo with some plasma gun shots and a combi-flamethrower (from my beloved Chaos Vindidator :3 )

When ever I really need a roll I get it.

When i am released about it I fail everythin. I keep getting 1s on my terminator saves. I mean i think my terminators die more quickly than my orks which I alway get a few 6s when I roll for save, if i roll for save LOL

I tend to be an average dices thrower (whatever it means...). I have some bad luck (often grouped in the same short time) and some very impressive luck (again, often in a short period)

On all the games I ever played in my life, I especially remember two particular dices throws :

- 5 rending/to wound attacks : I roll the five dices at once : 6, 6, 6, 6, 6. I thought my friend had suffered a stroke when he saw that fall on his SM...

The other one is at my disadvantage, thus :

- 12 saves on my SoB. I throw it all at once again and... that's no less than nine 1, and nine dead sisters... !

I always seem to make my Savings Throws

The compleate opposite in fact:
I always seem to roll a one to hit when I fire my first Krak Missile of the game.

No my dice are bad.

I always make my disruption pod saves... love those things

So much fun when 3 LRs can take out a hammerhead.

Whenever I roll for a Daemon Weapon attack, the result is 1 or 6. Tends to get annoying.

I only have luck for my Terminator AS. Yay.

When deepstriking, I will ALWAYS scatter into terrain. I can be 13" away and somehow manage to roll that on 2d6

Play Blood Angels

Back in 3rd and 4th I was one of the first in my small group of people to drop the shadowfield from their archon/drachons. It was rare indeed for that thing to ever shrug off 2 shots. Let alone 3. I have never used the thing with the new codex (rarely use an archon at that though too).

However, on a slightly related topic, back in the day when guess ranged weapons were useful I would almost always hit my intended target dead on every time.

I know a guy who is either has a photographic memory, or is a genius - and he knew every distance... often he wouldn't even use a ruler for measuring unless something was a hit-or-miss by less than a centi-meter.

With my Fireknifes I always seem to roll very well for the second weapon I fire, quite annoying when shooting at CSM and my Plasma shots miss but my MP hit.

I have improbable rolls for invulnerability saves on my Thousand Sons and meltaguns. Had a Orbital strike hit them and they all walked away 10 out of 10. Just last game my meltas went 8 for 8 on hits and wounds.

Chaos Dreads I don't ever use because every game but one they've turned around 1st turn and shot half my army down with impossible seeming rolls.
