Evicerator Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 UPDATE 01/27/2012 GROUP BUY IS CLOSED. Shipping from Chessex to myself will be $35.00 total. This will be split by the 40 members in the group buy and will add $0.88 to everyone's total. Joe at Chessex told me that because the order is so large, the turn around time will be a little longer than their normal 1 week turn around. Also he is checking on his dice stock to make sure he has enough of each dice to fulfill the order. I should hear from him by noon today (01/27/2012). Once I hear back from Chessex regarding their dice stock I will calculate everyone's costs and PM them their totals along with a detailed list of their order, requesting their Paypal email address (or primary email address if they do not have a Paypal account). PLEASE make sure that you check the details of your order to insure they are correct before PMing me with your Paypal/email address. So I'm finishing up the minor details on my army (minus 23290520358 hours of painting I still have to do with a newborn on the way in 30 days >_>) and I've put a great deal of detail into the army so far. One detail I've always wanted to do was to have custom Blood Angels dice made. So i contacted Chessex and they've given me a list of dice that can be used in the custom dice creation. They've also said that up to 5 different dice styles can be used in a group buy to obtain the bulk discounts they offer. So I'm here to offer a group buy on the dice I'm planning to have made (regardless if a group buy is done or not, just figured it'd be great to save money and help others to do the same.) Summary: Group buy for: Custom 16mm Blood Angel Dice from Chessex with '6' pip replaced by the winged blood drop. You can pick between 4 of the listed (and pictured) dice Price per die is $0.37 (we've reached maximum discount!) Shipping is $5.35 domestically (within continental US) and $17 internationally (UK, AUS, CAN, GERM, DEN). Additional shipping charge (~$1.00) will be added to total shipping to cover shipping from Chessex to my house. Payment made through Paypal. Domestic buyers pay 3% fee + $0.30 on top of order total to cover Paypal transaction fees International buyers pay 4% fee + $0.30 on top of their order total to cover Paypal transaction fees [*]Group Buy to close January 27th, 2012. Payment to be made by February 3rd, 2012. Order placed February 4th, 2012. [*]For those inquiring about approximate totals I am using the following formula to calculate approximate totals: ((.39*#Dice) + 5.35 + $0.88) *1.03 + 0.30 = $Total ((.39*#Dice) + 17 + $0.88) *1.04 + 0.40 = $Total The dice are 16mm sized dice (standard size, bigger than the 12mm sized used by GW) The dice will have their '6' pip replaced with the winged blood drop: http://evicerator.com/evicerator/pictures/warhammer/2011wipthread/bloodangels/BloodAngelsSymbol.jpg Signature Velvet Black/red http://evicerator.com/evicerator/pictures/warhammer/chessex/BlackRedVelvet.jpg Signature Velvet Red/white http://evicerator.com/evicerator/pictures/warhammer/chessex/RedGold.jpg Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold http://evicerator.com/evicerator/pictures/warhammer/chessex/Gemini3BlackRed.jpg Signature Gemini Black-White/Red http://evicerator.com/evicerator/pictures/warhammer/chessex/Black.jpg This is an example of the dice I'll be ordering (these were ordered from Chessex by the guy that runs the Knights of Baal blog.) Chessex no longer offers the Opaque Red/white for custom dice work): http://evicerator.com/evicerator/pictures/warhammer/chessex/photo(1).JPG Pricing: 10-25 dice: $1.00 per die 26-99 dice: $0.75 per die 100-199 dice: $0.60 per die 200-499 dice: $0.50 per die 500-999 dice: $0.42 per die 1000+ dice: $0.39 per die Shipping: As of January 23rd, 2012 the United States Postal Service raised shipping rates. Domestic shipping was raised a mere $0.20 for small flat rate box shipping. International shipping was raised another $3.00 for small flat rate box shipping. I was unaware of the forthcoming change in postage and apologize for the inconvenience this will cause for international orders. Shipping will be calculated once the group purchase is finished. Shipping from Chessex to my house (where the orders will be broke down and separated and then reshipped to individual members) will be $35 and split by the 40 members in the group buy which comes to $0.88 each. Shipping domestically will be $5.35 for USPS Priority Mail small flat rate box shipping. Shipping internationally will be $17.00 for USPS Priority Mail small flat rate box shipping. Payment Money will be collected through Paypal once the final price is settled upon (dependent, of course, on the amount that is ordered.) and will accrue a paypal fee of 3% (4% for international transactions) of the total sent plus an additional one time fee of $0.30 transaction Paypal fee. All Paypal fees will be the responsibility of the sender to add that amount to their total. (so if you order $30 you'd add $1.20 to cover Paypal fees. Addresses and names (Forum and real name) for each order would be left in the Paypal notes.) The time frame for this order will be 2 weeks. I plan to close this group buy on January 27th. All totals will be calculated and PMed to each member involved in the group buy. The deadline for money to be collected will be February 3rd 2012. After that point, the full amount will be paid to Chessex and the order placed. Turn around time from Chessex is approximately 3 weeks. So that's that. I'm throwing this offer out on my own in order to help others interested in getting some custom dice of their own, but looking to get them cheaper. As I said before, I'll be ordering mine here shortly with or without the discount. If you're interested (please be serious about the interest. If you're unsure about whether you want to buy these dice or not, then best to wait before posting that you're certain. Feel free to post if you're uncertain though.): Include the type/color dice that you'd like (you can pick from as many of the four listed above, any combo, etc.) The amount you'd like (we'd like to keep minimum dice orders to 10) Where the order will be shipped if international Your Paypal/Primary email address(if you don't have a Paypal account) For references of myself: Bartertown Ebay Rogue Market Evicerator - 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold, 24 Signature Velvet Black/red 12 Gemini Black- White/Red, 6 Signature Velvet Red/White(72) Claws of Corax - 30 Signature Velvet Black/red and 30 Signature Velvet Red/white (UK) (60) Donnyb - 30 Signature velvet Black/red, 20 velvet red/white, 10 gemini black-red/gold (60) (Australia) Rindaris - 40 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold (40) Igotsmeakabob - 26 Signature Gemini Black-Red/Gold, 12 Signature Velvet Red/white, 12 Signature Velvet Black/red (46) Mustardparty - 40 signature velvet black/red, 20 signature velvet red/white, and 10 signature Gemini black-red/gold (70) Bradley Powers - 12 Gemini Black-Red/Gold and 36 Gemini Black-White/Red (48) Rogue Pilot - 24 Gemini Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold and 24 Velvet red and White (48)(AUS) Taranis - 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold (30) (Denmark) Gregornet - 30 Signature Velvet Black/red (30) Deus Sanguinius - 20 Signature Gemini Black-Red/Gold (20) (Germany) Montdj - 30 Signature Velvet Black/red (30) Twin .44 - 30 Signature Velvet Black/Red, 30 Signature Velvet Red/White, and 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/Gold (90) Black Orange - 24 Signature Velvet Red/White (24) Insein - 25 Signature Gemini Black-Red/Gold, 10 Signature Velvet Black/Red, 10 Signature Gemini Black-White/Red (45) Ardez Furioso - 30 of the Signature Velvet Red/white and 30 of the Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold (60) Mezkh - 10 Signature Velvet Black/red, 30 Signature Velvet Red/white, 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/Gold (70)(AUS) Emperor's Instrument - 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold, 30 Signature Velvet Black/red (60) (UK) Mullinstron - 20 Signature Velvet Black/red, 20 Signature Velvet Red/white, 20 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold (60) (UK) Mylow - 10 Velvet Black/Red, 30 Gemini Black-Red/Gold, 20 Gemini Black-White/Red (60) (Germany) Frostbit3 - 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold (30) Wax Assassin - 10 Signature Velvet Red/White, 10 Signature Velvet Black/red (20) Psychoticspacemarine - 10 Velvet Black/Red and 40 of the Gemini Black-Red/Gold (50) TheHarrower - 40 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold (40) Brother Theseus - 20 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold, 20 Signature Velvet Red/white (40) Seven Exxes - 50 Signature Velvet Black/red, 20 Signature Velvet Red/white, 20 Signature Gemini Black-White/Red, 30 signature black-red/gold (120) (AUS) Piousservant - 20 Signature Gemini Black-Red/Gold, 20 Signature Velvet Red/white (40) (UK) Erasmus of Baal - 3 Velvet Black/Red, 3 Velvet Red/White, 3 Gemini Black-Red/Gold, 3 Gemini Black-White/Red (12) Bymis - 36 Signature Velvet Red/White (36) Gorlak - 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold, 30 Signature Velvet Red/white, 10 Signature Velvet Black/red (70) (UK) Gadzooks - 60 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold, 20 Signature Velvet Black/red, 20 Signature Velvet Red/white (100) Blood&Honor - 30 signature velvet black/red, 15 signature gemini black-red/gold, 20 signature velvet red/white, 15 signature gemini black-white/red (80) Dennismathys - 10 Signature Velvet Black/red,10 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold, 30 Signature Velvet Red/white (50) (APO) Mortare - 10 Gemini black/red-gold, 20 Velvet red/white, 30 Velvet black/red (60) (Scotland) Sandboxxx - 150 Signature Velvet Black/red, 150 Signature Velvet Red/white, 150 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold (450!)

JamesI Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have removed the hotlinks from chessex site, as that violates the B+C rules. If you want images in the post either post the images to your B+C gallery, on your personal website or a site like imageshack that is allowed for hotlinking. The Bolter and Chainsword needs to make it clear that we are not involved in this sale effort, just like we took not responsibility for the similar effort that was done in the Ultramarines forum.

Twin .44 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 When do you plan to order these? Like an exact date/time frame. The date will affect how much I can toss in for dice, anywhere from like $20 to $50 worth if it's in the next week or two, more if later. Thanks!

Evicerator Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Wow, glad to see all of this interest. We're 200 dice away from the $0.42/die price point so we'll see. I'd like to keep this offer open for 2 weeks (On February 3rd all payments to be made and the order entered). I will post my Paypal in a week so as to keep this simpler on me to keep track over the course of a week instead of 2. @Igotsmeatkabob - your total will be $22 including shipping (30 x $0.50 + $7 shipping) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245713-custom-blood-angel-dice/#findComment-2972562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evicerator Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Thread is updated with everyone interested in dice. Also added summary to initial post to make it easier to consolidate the details. We're 116 dice from getting the last tier discount of $0.42 each.

Brother Theseus Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Have you decided how to charge each of us for shipping? It would be kind of steep to have each member charged $7 if chessex did agree to split up the shipping themselves. E: Also, would you be willing to throw in an additional item with the direct order and charge me accordingly for it? To be specific, if I place an order, I would also like figure case 02805, which is the case the retail 36 x 16mm die come in and costs $1 on the website.

To be specific, if I place an order, I would also like figure case 02805, which is the case the retail 36 x 16mm die come in and costs $1 on the website. For now shipping will be $7 each. I emailed Joe at Chessex Friday, but he was out till Monday. So I do not know how shipping will work until he gets back to me. Shipping would be at the *most* $7 a piece if Chessex does decide that they'll be able to ship the orders individually. If not, then I will need to figure out individual shipping which will be close to the $7 as USPS.com calculates domestic shipping costs to be $5.20 using a Priority Mail Small Flat Rate box. I'll be buying packing material for each box and that'll likely add $0.30 or so. I'll price it all out as soon as I hear back from Joe about whether or not they can ship individually or not. Also remember their shipping cost is 7% of the order cost if over $100 order (which we will be over $100 haha.) so that additional cost will need to be calculated in as well (for example, if we get 800 dice ordered at $0.42 each for 15 different members, the total for shipping would be $24 and everyone would split that at $1.6 each. So at the end of the day, we're going to be at or near the $7 each mark regardless of how we ship. As for the additional item, I'd prefer not to, in order to keep things simple. Because I wouldn't be able to fit that in the $5 flat rate box then shipping would be altered, etc. So i would prefer not to add additional items. Info updated regarding the shipping.

I'm in Aus. For all international orders I will be using USPS Priority Mail Flat rate small shipping boxes. The price is $13.95 for just about anywhere in the world. Check USPS.com and select Calculate Shipping on left middle. Enter Country, select the Red and White Icon for the Small Flate Rate shipping box and it will redirect you to the page with a price. Be aware that that price will be in addition to the split shipping from Chessex (no more than $2 I don't suspect.) Sign me up for 30 Signature Gemini Black-Red/gold.
