ValourousHeart Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I just participated in a group buy over in the DA forum. They are ordering the dice from chesex. We managed to get over 1000 of each design ordered (DW, RW, & GW). With the order that size, the price was $0.45 each. I don't have my dice yet but the samples look great. If we were to throw sisters into the mix I would be interested in a group buy for GK, INQ & SOB custom dice. As for images... Fleur de lis, =I=, and maybe a book with a sword. The real question is what color dice with what color pips, symbol on 1 or 6 (6 is my choice), and do we want the symbol a different color? Silver dice for GK, but what about the other two?

Pbenner Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 ValerousHeart, You may have a virus. Got a weird email from you. As the person organizing the DA buy I would consider doing. another after this is done or if someone does it I can provide pointers. Been starting some preliminary work towards this end.

ValourousHeart Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yeah sorry about that... Lucky or unlucky it only got my email I use for hobby sites. That is funning I was planning on asking you if you would do one for this forum... But I wanted to give you a little break between.

Toasterfree Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 i might be in on this. i would need to consult the boss and it would be totally dependant on cost.

V Dubbed Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 You can count me in if this gets off the ground. I was beating myself up for missing out on the Blood Angel dice that were finished a wile back... (they turned out great by the way!). I know it's early to be talking specifics, but I'd put my vote towards having the logo on the 6 just as ValourousHeart said.

ValourousHeart Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 A funky alternative that I had also considered was to have one set of dice that represent 2 different factions... like GK and Deamons. You would have a symbol on both the 1 and 6.... GK on one side and Deamons on the other. So while playing GK... you don't want to roll Deamon symbols... Deamons are bad, GK are good. While playing Deamons... you don't want to roll GK symbols. But some might find that confusing. It would also only look right with enemies... IG on one side and Sisters on the other would be weird.

*Furyou Miko Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Anything that involves a randomiser's results being anything but clear every time is a bad idea.

Inquisitor Fox Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 As someone who collects and uses dice with nifty symbols on them, I've gone to great lengths to only have all the symbols on the "1" facing, and the "1" facing only. I refuse to use dice that make it confusing for myself or my opponent, that's just not cool. Having it always the same, no matter which dice I use (as I have multiple colors for different weapons, etc, to save time) is good, because I can just tell them "the funny things are always a 1". That being said, I also went out of my way way to buy some dice with roses on the 1 facing for my Sisters army (Sisters of the Sacred Rose), as well as some of the 40K dice from way back when with the Imperium symbol, the large Mechanicus dice for the "big guns" when Apocalypse came out... I refuse to tabulate how much money I've spent on wargaming and RPG dice in my career... I'd scare myself.

Vibral Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm totally on on this for GK with either the =I= or the book with the sword. I need to pick up a set anyway.

Stormshadow Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I would really love to have either GK or Inquisition dice, but am I the only one that would like the symbol on the ”6” side? Most often in 40k the roll of a 6 is good news and the 1 is bad news (fore you). When I role those four dice for my psycannon and get double =I=, or whatever, I want it to be good news for me and bad news for my opponent, not the other way around… the power of the Inquisition punishing the scum of Chaos and so on.

This! Seeing your logo show up for the good results just seems to be more appropriate. When you roll dice and the opponent sees your logo staring back at him, he should be terrified... not laughing.

mycnh Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 ...or you just say that if the "I" is a one then you dice obviously need exterminatus. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250985-custom-dice-for-grey-knights/#findComment-3046110 Share on other sites More sharing options...

henrywalker Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'd definately be in for these. How about 3 colours like the DA did? theirs looked great. We could manage three different symbols like them (or maybe four because come on, lets face it, we're better) inquisition on a black dice with red pips, book and sword on a grey with yellow (i imagine metallics are not available) and then a sisters one (i don't play em so i dont know about colours.

ValourousHeart Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The da group buy got the dice for $0.45 each. We had 3 colors / 3 symbols... 1 symbol per die. Ravenwing 1 color, 1 symbol... Death wing 1 / 1... Green wing 1 / 1. What is confusing about 1 symbol per die? And how is $0.45 per die expensive? If you don't want to join in then go order on your own and pay $1.00 per die. Oh wait that is more expensive. We are going for volume to keep the cost down, silly. I got 40 dice on the da buy, and with shipping it cost me $24.00. It costs more than that to go to the movies. As for colors I was leaning toward red w/ black pips for sisters. Black / red pips for =I= could be good... Does anyone prefer a different color? Both INQ and sob color schemes from the codices stick with a black/red/silver theme.

And how is $0.45 per die expensive? quoted the NON flame section... your explanation in BULK yes. each symbol and color is a seprate order. but if you go for 3 symbols on a SINGLE die, which your explanation cleared up (which is all you needed to do and not the rest thanks :P ) what was meant.
