Never play Skaven again
The game started well enough, but was 2 or 3 nil down at half time mainly due to my poor dice rolling and not my team. Disaster did strike truely in the second half however when my trusty Kroxigor,Kong Qwentep,rolled a 3 skull roll on a rat, only to be repeated again on the subsequent reroll yes 3 skulls twice!!!. My opponent reliably informs me this is indeed quite rare! or in his exact words a 1345000/ to 1 chance or there abouts!!!!!!
It was thouroughly ebjoyable game none the less though!! :)

Gratz to the achievement. Some call it avalanche, others Hydra, but long live the 6 skulls!!!

Ah cheers for the reply bud, it doesn't seem quite so bad if it's happened before and even has an official top gear name! still sounds long odds to me though lol!

I did the same... 6 wounds, 6 1's... Ghazghkull died. A sad day for Orks everywhere :(

you must be the unluckiest coach "in the whurld", and on that Bombshell Goodnight!

Rated 6 for a Top Gear reference :D

Not a 6-skull.

Loner reroll failed [3].

Somebody should explain to Bomber-Harris what a loner is.

Ha i thought it might be that. I had a similar experience with a Rat Ogre before I noticed.

if chainsaw saw it correctly you rolled 3 skulls and than failed the loner roll when you tried to use a RR (4+)

so the chance were 1/432, still tough , but you should face that every 10-20 matches actually.

Bomber Harris is a very stupid name and i hope all your dice shall be skulls.
Posted by BillBrasky on 2013-03-12 15:39:04
I've rolled 3 skull, rr, 3 skulls at least 10 times.

But I have played a lot of games here...

Anyway, yes it does happen more than you would think.

Actually doing it with a Loner is harder. You actually have to PASS the 4+ to get a chance at the second triple-skull (and yes, I've managed that feat).

at naf world cup 2 years ago i rolled double skull rr double skull on first block of game and then done exacly the same on my turn 2 with a wight !! so i rolled 8 cleans skulls in my first 8 dice of the match ;-D. needless to say these were my 2 quickest ever opening turns of a game ;-/

I didn't realize it was that rare. In stunty I've rolled trip skulls and reroll another trip skulls once already, and I've only played a dozen games in stunty.

Then again, you roll a lot more triple blocks in stunty.
