Incredibly specific warhammer question!

Post by CaptainChewbacca »

Ok, for Christmas I'm trying to make my brother some dwarf-rune artillery dice. Problem is, I don't know which values are on opposite sides of the dice (I don't have any). What I need is for some friendly gamer to take a look at his 2 artillery dice and tell me which are on opposite sides so that I can make "legal" dice.

Thanks much.

My scatter dice are simple really....they have an arrow on 4 sides with a crosshair and the word hit where the 1 and 6 sides are.

What about the range die?

Don't forget that HIT faces also have small arrows on them as well.

I really need some pictures or a detailed description.

I don't have mine here, and haven't even played in quite a while now, but I have to try to keep my place in your sig. :D A google image search turned up this site: link.

If it's accurate then the pairs are 2 & missfire, 4 & 10 and 8 & 6.

A quick look at 2 pictures of dice on ebay shows that neither the 6 or the 10 are oposite to the misfire, which fits with that. The fact that 4+10=8+6 is probably a good sign also.

And in the end, it's probably not that important. As long as the dice isn't weighted, it really shouldn't matter which side shows which number.

The range dice is a normal dice with the values x2 on each side except the six which is misfire.
