Worst dice roll EVER?

Five 1's? Wow. All I've got to say about that is one thing:

YAHTZEE!!!
:tongue:

But seriously, that's the worst I've personally seen. It beats anything that's befallen me, at least for a single dice roll.
 
At the other end of the scale (good for me, very unlucky for my opponent) was a game back in 6th ed where I cast curse of years on my opponent's unit of 9 Dragon princes and an elf lord. 7 of the DPs and the lord dropped dead; and he was so disgusted he didn't bother to dispel it on his next turn, at which point the remaining two promptly dropped dead as well xD
 
It's getting to the stage with me where my dice attempt to out-do each other every game. Here's my last three games, each time using a different army:
1) Vampire Lord destroyed by Crack's Call (failed init test) turn 1.
2) Fail to dispel Pit of Shades needing a 12 on 5 dice; Giant dies turn 1. My main block squabbles and my Trolls fail stupidity (LD9 re-rollable) turn 2, stumble onto fanatic and take as many wounds as the Harpies that drew out all my fanatics took.
3) Stormvermin + 2 Chieftains + Warlock Engineers fail terror test (Because I only had 2 ranks and re-rollable LD9, after miscasting on 2 dice and killing 1/4 of the unit), then after rallying, I send the Engineer into a building to fire his Doomrocket. My Screaming Bell rolls the result that destroys the building, the Engineer fails his initiative test, which makes the Stormvermin fail their panic test AGAIN and flee off the table.

All told, the odds of the series of events in the third game happening were around 1 in 1000000. I don't think I'm going to beat that any time soon, but I know my dice will try their worst!
 
Ok i have a few from 40k first: in a 5000 per side 4 person mega battle, no objectives, no strategic assets just full carnage to the death Pedro Kantor my pride and joy slaughtered dozens of boyz, nobz, grots and a few trukks only to be run over by a battle wagon, i elected to try and punch it with my power fist, fail and get crushed under its spiky bitz :slapface: also i had my general miscast, roll a 12, next spell miscast roll a 12 then next turn, miscast lose a spell then miscast and Dimenshianal Cascade to whatever hell awaits him then my zambi skelli black knights and corpse cart crumble to death in 2 turns :slapface:
 
I think this was literally my worst die roll ever. Completely failed at it and I was pretty stunned. Grabbed a pic before it fell over ;)

That's an awesome shot! My own nightmare was also in 40k. Jump-pack chaplain, with 7 assault marines, charged a squad of ork boyz. rolled to hit, nothing- all 1 or 2 - re-roll for chaplains special rule- again, all 1 or 2, except.... no, 1 was a 3,but didn't wound. this was last edition, so thats a total of 54 rolls, and only 1 hit. Needless to say, my squad got stomped. And I don't want to even think about the odds against that happening again!
 
Dead King of Dead Stuff: This thread was over a year old when you posted in it. Please look at the dates on the last post before committing threadomancy!
 
Might as well go on now cant we ? :D

My worst dice roll was rolling 30 dice for a curse of years, and not getting a single 6 :/
 
A few of my best:

Get super excited as my big unit of Orc Boar Riders smashes into my enemies flank with my general aboard and throw the dice right into my Giant, who promptly falls to the floor off the table and shatters. and I mean shatters. (I had just finished painting him the day before)


10 Dragon Princes and 10 Silver Helms with a Prince all decked out combo charge a unit of 25 Skaven Slaves (back in the pre-horde days).....
They do 1 wound total..... Slaves hit back and I lose all the Dragon Princes and most of the Silver Helms, then the Prince fails his LD, flees and gets run down by Slaves.


My most recent was 1st turn Master Necro miscast, exploded in the large template wiping out his entire bunker, little necro misscasts and wipes out his bunker, same turn my Vampire miscasts, dimensional cascades hisself into nothingess.
(Somehow came back and wiped the board with my opponent)
 
This just happened - figured it was worth of sharing in this thread. These are 10 Grave Guard attacks that I *needed* to do well with.

Pretty close to two yahztees (1s and 2s), then the snake-eyes to wound. Pretty close to throwing those dice across the room ;)

no real bad luck on my part (probably just karmatic punishment) but one time i cast curse of years on a unit of 60 WoC. three sixes rolled but then warded due to the mark of Tzeentch witch the entire army of them possessed but the redeming factor was my lone zombie finishing off a chariot in the second to last turnxD before he crumbled on the next turn.:(
 
With lord solar being executed its more like he couldn't get his men to go onward, even with re-rolls, so they shot him.


This isn't the worst but its probably the most recent:
When testing out my desired army for vampire counts this happed.
Level 4 necro with master of dead.
3squads of 10skeletons side by side.
I got invok and raise dead.
So first turn I cast raise dead with 2 dice thinking it will go through and then I'll cast invok so I can beef up my cheap squads on turn 1!
Roll double 6's, kill a bunch of my own skeletons. Loose the rest of my power dice.

Next game, same list. same roll on first turn. Blow up my own skeletons and loose power dice.

Third game!!! Double 6's again on the first turn for raise dead. But this time the miscast didn't do much and I was able to cast invok and beef up my skeletons.
 
Two incidents that spring to mind are both fantasy.

First one was an Orc and Goblin army against lizardmen.
Turn one: Skinks shoot the giant to poisony death.
Giant falls over and squashes the black orc unit with the general in it.
Remaining Orc and goblin units fail their panic tests and run off the
board.

Archon was another one.

He charged a unit (can't remember what the unit was) unleashed the power of his sword and then rolled nine ones followed by nine failed ward saves.

The game was abandoned after that as neither player could stop laughing.
