Warhammer uses two special dice: the artillery dice (marked 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and MISFIRE), and the scatter dice (marked with arrows and HIT symbols). These dice are mostly used to represent the effects of various war machines, such as cannons and stone throwers.

Note that, except where clearly specified, the artillery and scatter dice cannot be re-rolled.

Special dice symbols are used to represent occurrences of luck or misfortune. From this point onwards these are referred to as HIT and MISFIRE The corresponding symbols are shown below:
