Oh dear.
Also, I think I've figured out why symbol dice roll more 6s.
They're ever so slightly weighted more towards the 1, so a 6 comes up more.
Reason is if you have a symbol then more of the dice is carved away to make the symbol, making that side lighter. Maybe.
Will see when these bad boys start rolling if it's true. If I win 3 SCGTs on the trot with a double dragon list then clearly its my luck that's changed.

what, had you not noticed the warning on the side of your cigarettes before?

Or do you now want to be a filthy dark elf player?

Model looks great! Sorry if I've lost track, but is this going to be a third Dragon or is it some other beastie?

This will make no difference, bare in mind on a standard dice there's slightly more material carved away from the "6" side as there six dimples not one. To make a dice that truly would break the laws of probability you'd have to actively add weight to the "1" side - not that I am encouraging such foul play.

Plan had been to redo the dragons as these to make them more distinct centre pieces for the army. Going to base it on a 50mm base so I can use it as a guy on eagle or then on a dragon.

However, I'm not sold.
I was 50/50 wether to do 3 headed dragons from hydras or wyverns. Reason being the AGOT dragons are actually wyverns, only 2 legs. In the end I went for the hydra as thought it would be cooler, but for some reason I'm just not loving it.
Maybe because its quite skinny.

Will base and paint this guy and see, but might have a go at tearing up azhag and see how that looks.
