You can find scatter/artillery die pretty cheap if you search for Dark Vengeance or Island of Blood dice.
Also, take into consideration the fact that dice with rounded edges roll significantly more 1's than dice with square edges...

Hogwash, I've rolled a dozen 6's with my cheesex dice, enough to prompt suspicion in the other player.

I'm not making it up. Round edge dice roll anything up to 10% more 1's.

Another way to do scatter dice. tae a regular dice. 1 and 6 are direct hits. Any others, you scatter to where the one is pointing.

A word of advice. Check garage sales... When I was a young, confused lad of roughly 8 or so, I went to a garage sale and saw a huge bag of dice for sale. I bought 118 dice for a dollar. Garage sales are your friend.

"There is a cancer eating at the Imperium. With each decade it advances deeper, leaving drained, dead worlds in its wake. This horror, this abomination, has thought and purpose that functions on an unimaginable, galactic scale and all we can do is try to stop the swarms of bioengineered monsters it unleashes upon us by instinct. We have given the horror a name to salve our fears; we call it the Tyranid race, but if is aware of us at all it must know us only as Prey."
