CORRECTION: Sorry, made an error on the save allocation thing. Hadn't realised that that'd changed in 9th edition... Now "If a model in the target unit has already lost any wounds OR has already had attacks allocated to it this phase, the attack must be allocated to that model" so no jumping around within a phase! Apologies for the error and thank you to The Forgemaster for correcting me!

All I needed was the first 5 seconds, now I’m winning tournaments left and right. Thank you, Auspex!

Hey Auspex!
A bit ago I played against Innes in that tournament you hosted. I was playing sisters, and he gave me the advice to roll all your saves EXCEPT the amount you can miracle dice.

So if Celestine took 6 wounds, you would only roll 5 to see it she survived. If she makes it just barely you can then miracle dice the final save (or moment of grace another) to seal the deal. This can compound a bit too if you have the Triumph or a simulacrum in the squad.

Same deal with overwatch. If you have a 6 for a melta shot saved, you can roll the rest to see if you get lucky and even need to spend it.
Just some extra ideas!

-Auspexs tactics "Roll more 6s"

-Me a Ork player who's basically hitting on 6's to shoot anyway "there was another option?

[Forgemaster]

3.33 "If a model in the target unit has already lost any wounds OR has already had attacks allocated to it this phase, the attack must be allocated to that model" from 9th ed BRB.

another situation where you should not speed roll is when firing marklight with Tau, since if one go in, the next marklight will have the buff, while if you fire them all together their buff will not apply on each other.

Auspex: Easy, just roll the 6es
Me: rolling 6es on morale...

[veameal]

"Just a game of model soldiers"

The brass on this man to make such a claim directly to the Warhammer community rivals the fables of Ollanius Pius!

[MRB_Admin_Chris]

dice rolls in the tray, ALWAYS. zero exceptions.

[slogra]

Followed your first advice and now all my unit has demoralized and fleed

[DerRotSpassvogel]

Auspex: Simple, roll more 6s

Now dat's sum good Dakka

Trays are so useful for rolling dice. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people roll well or poorly due to terrain cocking the dice, and have to reroll to achieve potentially the opposite result.

Fig 2: GW 'dice from hell' made me burst out laughing.

[clockworkpanda]

I painted the 6 in my dice green and the one red. Helps to quickly remember exploding 6s or 2+ rolls

[CaptJABRONIE]

We simply play a hybrid of 40k and Liars Dice

[stanrichardson]

Also alwaya consider slow roll any weapons that cause mortal wounds in addition.

The mortal wound is applied after the attack is resolved. If you fast roll the convention is apply all the mortals after all the saves. But depending on what you are shooting and the target you can maximise damage resolving each one separately.

I'm only allowed to bring my green dice out when I'm playing my orks, they are seriously hot rolling and I'm banned by mates from bringing them out with any other faction

[AsianViking]

Nice tip on the multidamage weapons vs the FNPs! Thanks!

[VaSoapman]

I saw one guy prep red solo cups of 30 dice each in his downtime in a batrep once.
