So I've finally decided that I need something better than random pots and corners of bags to put dice in so I figured a good dice bag would be an option. However whilst it seems dead easy to find smaller bags for DnD; finding those suited to wargames (which lets face it have way way way more dice) is a bit trickier.

So I figured I'd turn to my fellow wargamers and see what you are all using to carry your dice!

For 40k use I have a little KR dice tray/box.

For roleplaying I use one of those pencil cases designed to go in a 3 ring binder. Not that I keep my RPG stuff in a binder anymore, but I used to. I just keep my active dice in there. 5 of each polyhedral, with some extra d6s and d10s/percentage dice.

My bulk extra dice I keep in an old mesh dive bag.

Discerning gamers of age will often use Crown Royal bags.

When I buy neodymium magnets they often come in a foam insert inside of a metal box. I use one of those metal boxes to hold dice.

Plastic jewelry box for dice I want to sort. Crown Royal bag for everything else.

One of these https://www.vaultz.com/catalog/boxes-cases/pencil-boxes-art-supply-storage/supply-box-3d-velociraptor-vaultz-vz03671.html only with planets instead of velociraptors. The lock is very convenient. Too many dice thieves in this world.

When it is opened the lid lies flat so I can use it as a rolling tray if needed.

An actual GW dice bag released years ago, a crown royal bag, a stiff bag I got at an FLGS.
Used to be just a ratty plastic bag.

I just use a plastic freezer bag.

Might not look all that great, but mine holds a good 30+ dice with plenty of room to spare. It's pretty cheap too, if you use freezer bags for their intended use often. I can also attest to its durability (provided you don't throw it around in some Khornate battle ritual or something)

Spacious and always get a good laugh:

I have more than one set of Chessex dice, and I just keep them in the plastic containers they came in. Ditto for my GW Dark Angels dice. I have a bunch of older Dark Angels dice that I got off of eBay a while back, along with a set of Adepticon dice that were given to me by a friend, and those I keep in a small bag that I got at my FLGS (probably meant for RPG sets, but big enough to hold about 40 dice so it suits my purpose. If I wanted to just throw a bunch of dice in together I might get a hold of a Crown Royal bag from one of my friends who drinks (I don't drink).

Crown Royal bag. Thing is, it's my Dad's, and it's old because he hasn't touched hard liquor since the 90's. I've been using it to hold dice since... 2001, I think. It's been to 6 different countries and was almost confiscated in one because dice (even D&D dice) were considered gambling material in Qatar.

It's had to be washed a few times and stiched up a bit. Maybe I can get it out and take a picture at some point. I really don't like doing pictures, but this thing is sentimental.

Years ago my Aunt crochet a pouch shaped like a fish.. Found it a while back and it works nicely as a dice bag...

Plus I have the saying " My dice rolls stink so bad, that I carry my dice in a fish"

Here is the thing...

I use a minecarft book tin to hold my dice and templates and counters.
I acquired it from my boy who only wanted the book and stickers

Forgeworld zip-lock I got some parts in years ago.

Ha! Your aunt is good.
Kind of looks like a Tyrannid haruspex.

We have a local person who makes chain mail dice bags. I think he can be found on Etsy.

Also, FFG makes some good-sized dice bags, though they are Star Wars flavored. I have the stormtrooper one.

Usually though, I just keep my d6’s in the cubes I get from cheesex.

Which reminds me, the wife made me this:

I use a couple of old tobacco tins

It's great! Though, be warned, the pointy bitz (toofpoints) tend to delaminate from the bag a bit, but it still looks good.

Clear plastic bag labelled Citadel. One for 6 sided dice, another for everything else.

This might be my time to shine! I've been making dice bags for about eight years now, and I'm obviously biased but I think they're pretty perfect for 40K. Each will hold around 160 dice, which means you can usually fit a small tape measure in there as well. My Etsy can be found at greyedout.etsy.com

I make my own chainmaille bags ... stainless steel and anodised (coloured) aluminium.
