I'm not looking for an exact value or even a rough estimate but rather other people's personal opinion.

How big a part do you feel luck plays in your games? Do you try to plan out your armies to avoid taking risks or do you let your dice do the talking?

Interested to know other's thoughts.

Regrettably, however, sixth edition seems to have been designed with the assumption that random=fun, so there is now, thanks to mysterious terrain and objectives, random charges, random warlord traits and psychic power decks, significantly more scope for fortune to dictate a battle's outcome than before.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535258.page GMT A Roll of the Dice. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kIESjFaRlxg/TZXbp5xMm2I/AAAAAAAABbI/1GjWEBwSkrA/s1600/m1750009a_Blog010411_2_XL.jpg]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535274.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535274.page GMT A Roll of the Dice.
I dislike the random terrain, but I guess it does sort of help you get better at adapting to situations as they appear throughout a game. Still annoying most of the time though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535284.page GMT A Roll of the Dice.
Outside of that, I think you can get around chance by clever list building and tactics.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535354.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535354.page GMT A Roll of the Dice.
Success or failure comes in how you manage it.

If it was only luck, why is it the same people can consistently win tournaments? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535703.page GMT A Roll of the Dice.
I like having the random aspect for those last couple of turns where you need to deal that last wound, make a desperate over 6" charge (so much fun with the 2d6 charge). My last tournament I won the final game by a single kill point because last turn my landspeeder fired a heavy bolter (only weapon it had left) in to the back armor of an untouched predator and rolled wreck for damage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535747.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/462874/4535747.page GMT Re:A Roll of the Dice.

The results of almost any action are determined by die rolling, so 40k is fundamentally a game of chance.
