Custom Blood Angel Dice

Recommended Posts

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.

     

    [*]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:

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):

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)

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.

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)

Sounds good!

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.

Info updated regarding the shipping.

 

Shipping internationally to the UK would add an additional $14 (£9 and €10.5)

 

If this would change interest for those outside of the US, please let me know and I'll remove you from the list.

 

what would I be looking at in terms of price then? I'm in Aus.

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.

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.

 

And the shipping country for me is Denmark. Great initiative! :)
