Bad Dice - What is your voodoo?

The picture to the left is an example of a good Snake Eyes.  The snake eyes I have been seeing recently are of a different variety all together. 


In my last five or six games I have rolled absolute pants.  It has been one after one.  I have never been a 'hot' roller but I rely on at least rolling average.

I do my best to always focus on the mission and use the best tactics/strategy I can.  Some times this is enough to win but ultimately Warhammer 40k is a dice game and if the dice aren't with you then you're going to have a grueling couple of hours of game play.

So how can I break this curse?  What are some examples of your own personal dice voodoo?  Do I need to sacrifice a chicken?  Pray to one deity or another?  Do I need to go from person to person that I may have wronged in a past life and apologize to them?

I've changed dice several times.  I rotate between the block of dice I have won several major tournaments and a hodge podge of dice that I have collected with various club or event pictures on the 6's.  Nothing seems to work.

Have I used all the mojo and is it time to just get a brand new set? 

I need you good people of the internet to send me good will. This is not a gimmick - you don't have to follow the blog or make a comment - just pour out a little liquor for me or maybe raise a peace sign to the sky like the rappers do.  Maybe through the power of positive thinking we can band together and get me/us rolling 3+ again!
