hey Das???

 

When will they cut our templar patterns into the Dice?

 

Sheesh.. i would love a set of clear or black dices with a Templar Cross for the "6" in red!

 

Would look so dang spiffy!!

Problem we run into if we do a Templar cross is that then all the other Chapters want their emblem too. So instead of a single logo dice order you wind up with 10 or 20 logos and it makes the dice even more expensive than they already are. This being because instead of 2,000-3,000 dice with our 1 logo you wind up with 10-20 seperate orders of varying sizes because of the # of logos.

 

Not too mention you run into IP issues with certain Chapters logos (even though GW most likely wouldn't make a beef about it).

*whiny voice* But Kurga-an!

We are better than them! Even BL refers to them as Lesser Chapters. It's established canon. :D

:P

There are custom dice companies about. I have 16mm Black with white pips, and a Cross instead of a 6. :D

[Dennis]

Not to hijack this thread, but I have me some custom 'BT' dice aswell. 2 boxes of 16mm dice (23 total, 1 spare room for the scatter). I'm thinking of ordering more in the near future, I will see how it goes.

Here's a pic of my dice:

I ordered mine via Chessex, for a small batch of custom made 16mm dice I'd recommend them greatly B)

[Wulff]

now those are some SWEET dice.. i'd be proud to roll a hand full of those!

 

i'll check into them wilhiem.. and thanks for the answer kurgan..

 

But to be honest.. if its isn;t templar.. why roll at all LOL!!!

Because buying B&C dice is one of the ways to help keep the B&C going maybe?

[Kronk]

If you want Black Templar dice, try out this company.

 

Scroll down 3/4 of the way until you see Templar dice.

I have 25 of these. They're great. It took about a month to get them, but I'm very happy with this purchase.

 

 

 

Edit: I am not associated with this company.

Ok guys as you may or may not know, we have put a new set of B&C dice up for sale:

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=207448

however we have also been taking your ideas for future swag:

One thing that came up is custom templates (pie plate, flamer and the like) and happens to be also something we had in the works already.

Well with a brief break in the convention season we heard back on our estimates and so the question for us is, do we offer these to you now alongside the dice (which may save some folks on shipping if they want both) or do we hold onto this until next year?

The Templates we are looking to get done would be the T.A.C. template:

and the multi-template mk. II:

http://www.gf9.com/store/product_info.php?...products_id=421

These would be in RED plastic with the B&C logo etched in.

Naturally a big part of this is the interest level. Depending on #s we could get these as a set for somewhere between $12 and $15 not including shipping.

So we just need to know how soon you want these. Now or later? Please respond with your choice

Those custom Templar are pretty cool, though I prefer the 32mm variant. That being said, I'll probably pick up a some of the B&C dice just because they are cool. Speaking of which I'm assuming the "official" B&C colors for the dice are black dice with red pips?

[Kurgan the Lurker]

Ok guys I got the sample order in today. Shipped Weds this week btw so that is 2 days travel time. Not bad.

So here are some shots of the new bags ( I got a green one) vs. the old bags:

As you can see the new bags are easily twice as big as the old ones so the 60-70 dice mark is accurate. I actually got about 80 into mine (dumped all the 15mm dice I had in there).

Ok here is a quick shot of the dice themselves (1 thru 5 face and 6b/6c faces):

As you can see they are nice square cuts and the art work turned out great! Sorry for the slight slope but I was quickly snapping shots here and didn't level the photog-stage out.

Here is a set of dice in the same size from different makers. Left to right is Chessex -- GW Scatter -- B&C 2008 -- B&C 2010

Guys we can just use the B&C dice and consider it a Deathwatch thing, where one out of every six is a Black Templar die. Provided none of those dice are psykers because then I'll crack them to pieces with a hammer and a righteous prayer to the Emperor.
