What's the most dice you've seen rolled in one phase? I've seen some fairly crazy amounts on Youtube. What's your insane dice roll story?

**adamsouza**

30 Shoota Boyz dropping 60 dice in the shooting phase usually gets some attention.

**hammeyaneggs**

Mine actually came in a game of Battletech...

Custom Clan mech with 3 LBX-20's (Cluster munitions of course).

All 3 hit for a total of 56 hit locations...

So I rolled 56 pairs of dice for the hit locations.

Although I could only manage 15 pairs at a time... didn't have enough different type of dice pairs.

**Breotan**

WHFB has some pretty amazing piles of dice being rolled to resolve a single action.

**Frankenberry**

I think a charge of Hormagaunts into a charge of boyz, something like 90 dice I think...gave my friend my dice just to see them all go down.

**Ascalam**

Burnawagon with 3 big meks with burnas, Warboss with Kombiskorcha and 15 burnas got a perfect cluster shot on two units of termagants massed up around it.

Something like 220 odd hits i think, and almost the same number of wounds

Good times.

**weeble1000**

First Rank Fire, Second Rank Fire Rapid Fire lasgun shots from a 60 conscript blob.

Burnas got that beat above, but these 180 shots don't rely perfect circumstances, other than the blob not getting broken and run down as soon as they show their faces.

**Da Butcha**

Somewhere there's a video of a guy running an Ogre Kingdoms gnoblar force with Sharp Stuff. (2x shots, hundreds of gnoblars) Literal jug of dice shaken and rolled.

**Ascalam**

I use a camo-green bucket and a tray when i run orks.

Tends to turn heads.

'ShOOOsh, SHooooSSH, SHoooSSHHHHH KRRRKRKRKRKRKRKRKkkkkrrrrr'

And now the rolls to wound....

**jonolikespie**

Not to brag but once I saw a game of infinity where 7 dice where rolled in one go.

Well, my friend did.

He *said* he did.

Not hard. HMG in a link firing at a single model in LOS in another link. Though I think that's the most you'd ever roll at the same time.

**Forcemajeure**

I'll try to find the picture of my friend when he rolls a t-shirt full of dice for the green tide in a apocalypse game a few years ago.

**reds8n**

IIRC our group record is 88 , which was using .. damonettes ( and a character ?) from the previous demon codex.

We've had a few 70- 72 odd shots here and there from guard and the like.

Reminds me of the time in Deadzone when I managed to get a Plague Stage 2 to roll 7 Fight dice. Apparently if there'd been a friendlymodel in the same square it would have been 8, but I don't believe such fanciful tales myself...

**Fenrir Kitsune**

90 X 3 with tyranid mass units on the charge. Rolling so many dice got a bit silly after a while, so we just agreed the unit was dead and took it off.

Clumsy mechanics when hundreds of dice were being thrown multiple times.

**manrogue**

When i ran my IG, a Blob of 30+ guard with Lasguns in rapid fire range, first rank, second rank = over 90 dice!

Wouldn't be so bad if i didn't run a few of them as ran foot guard!

And people wondered why i always got out a side table at the club pre-game.....

**SharkoutofWata**

30 Termagants with three shot Devourers each... I only had 24 dice...

**12thRonin**

92 dice. Berserkers charging Death Company in 3rd. 1 DC guy died after all was said and done.

**Beer_&_Bolters**

I think 104 is my personal record. Don't recall the exact conditions, but it involved orks.

**Vulcan**

In one phase or in one single roll?

Single roll, almost certainly my big unit of Witches with Brewhag. 60 attacks from the unit with ASF rerolls.

Single phase would be that, plus subsequent wound rolls plus MP rerolls, plus the attacks and wounds of the Brewhag, plus Executioners with Brewhag and Tullaris (44 attacks) with wounds and MP rerolls, plus the attacks and wounds of the characters, and whatever support charges were in place that round. Could easily have exceeded 200 rolls that phase.

I take that back. There was a 9000 point game where I was running 30 shades, 90 Darkshards, and 30 Dark Riders with Repeater Crossbows. That's over four hundred dice in the shooting phase... before including the two chariots and various characters with bows, or the two bolt throwers...

**marv335**

Burnaboys in a battlewagon again, perfect placement against a unit of genestealers. ovet 150 dice rolled, 96 wounds.
Gotta love the burny dance....

One of my units took fifty hits once... all S7/8.

That's not too bad, if you consider they were made by one model in hand to hand combat...

Spoiler:

**erratyk**

150 ork boys assaulting in an apocalypse game. 3 attacks on the charge each, 450 dice to hit. It was madness. also throw in Ghaz's attacks and a big mek on top of that

**Eihnlazer**

Most dice a marine army can drop comes from 1 of 2 units.

A. 6 cent devs firing off 30 grav cannon shots and 36 Hurricane bolter shots in the shooting phase.

B. 10 man Honor guard squad with banner, 2 techmarines and 2 chapter masters attatched. Comes out to 14 chapter master swings, 8 servo arms, and 50 power weapon attacks.

**namiel**

16 ironguts with 2 characters getting the ogre charge so, 6 d3 impacts, ~54 regular attacks. All after the 70 man block of high elf spearmen hit first.

Well over 1500 dice without saving throws

**Eihnlazer**

Lizardmen can beat ogres though.

horde formation with spears lets 4 rows attack. take a max blob with Gor Rok and a Scar vet up front.

Play againgst another lizardman army with the same settup.

proceed to roll dice for 1 1/2 hours for one assault phase.

**Gerst**

30 Hormagaunts rolled a 6 for IB, 120 attacks on the charge due to Rage. That could have gone much worse.

**Trondheim**

Probably the time I played against two Orks players whom both ran 5k of of Green tide, and myself playing Eldar.
I think the |highest number of dice that was rolled was well up in the hundreds

**AegisGrimm**

I believe in X-Wing now you can get a situation where one ship can roll 12 attack dice in a game where 4 used to be a damn decent attack roll.

That would be rather bothersome... my dice hate me so I'm sure your boyz would kill my BA's... DRT! (Dead Right There)
