What is the story of your dice? What colors are they? Where'd you get them and why do you use them?

And most importantly, what are the most amazing thing and worst thing they have ever done for you?

My dic were bought at the Dollar Store. 12 dice for 1$, so I picked up 3 packages. 12 red, 12 white, and 12 bone colored. They seem to treat me pretty well.
Worst they have ever treated me = slann miscasted, failed throne of vines, failed cupped hands, and was sucked into the warp.
Greatest thing = rolled 3 double 1 leaderships in a row (outside of bsb range) to help me win a game. I was at some heavy modifiers too.

Anyone else?
Or are dice just dice? Anyone else believe in the Dice Gods?

my dice are a mix of those from my older brothers dnd bag, to some ive bought over the years. All colors, all shapes, all sizes. Worst thing they did: Failed 8/9 2+ Armor saves in close combat. Best thing: 30 skeletons killing 6 Minotaurs with making 22/23 wounds

I buy a set of dice for every army that I play.

For my Beastmen I have a dark brown colored set of dice that reminds of the deep forest and thick fur.

I also always use my club dice, because, I like to cheat.

Whenever I get more dice, I sacrifice a chinchilla, smearing it's blood across the altar of the dice gods. The dice them selves are carved from the bones of ligers, as they are pretty much my favorite animal.

My actual dice are just what I've held onto over the years. They have mixed together, some I've taken in as they were abandoned by their previous owners.

My dice have always rolled bad. When I played Tau, I couldn't hit things with twin linked weapons after they had been hit with marker lights. You'll notice when you play WHFB with me I roll way to many dice for my magic, because I simply don't trust the dice to perform.

My black dice roll consiteinlty low. You will notice I always roll them for pivotal leadership test.

Something odd has happened after getting back into these games after several years of being out. All of a sudden, I'm rolling amazingly well. It's as though my dice have been saving luck in the dark shadows of my closet, waiting for their triumphant return to the table top. I don't know why, but the dice gods seem to be smiling on me lately. I've been doing obscene things with my long fangs against vehicles and getting some pretty wild magic rolls as well. I hope it last a little while before my luck goes back down the toilet.

Oh, most epic dice moment: Saving my DoomBull with a 6+ Iron curse icon.
