Today, i had one of the worst dice mishaps in all of my games...i played Orks against my friends Blood Angels and charged a 5 x Nobs + a Warboss, all with Powerklaws on to his Landraider. 20 attacks with S8 and 5 with S10 (with two re-rolls from the Lucky Stick) hitting with a 3+...two clansing hits...

Let´s just say, that the match was over in the next turn...

That sucks, you must have angered the dice Gods - I suggest you appease them by leaving them in a tankard of ale overnight

I'm just gonna go and say it was not THAT unlikely to happen.

You don't have to be happy when you lose, just don't make winning the condition of your happiness.

This. Meaning, your 2 glancing hits were 2 AP2 Penetrating hits with a chance to explode it. Not to mention all the 5's as glancers you missed out on. Don't forget Furious Charge. It's your friend.

Indeed. Old man´s mind isn´t what it used to be...isn´t what it used to be...isn´t what it used to be...isn´t what it used to be...isn´t what it used to be...isn´t what it used to be...isn´t what it used to be...isn´t what it used to be...

With that many attacks you've got a forty-odd percent chance of blowing it up outright; your odds of not killing it aren't great.

Balanced Game: Noun. A game in which all options and choices are worth using.
