[Dice] Templars Themed Dice

[Zyth23]

Greeting Brothers,

 

I searched on the web if it was possible to get Dices with Black Templars Theme, and I found some.

And they are not too expensive. (~8$ for 6 dices)

 

Here you got pictures and links for the interessed:

I saw an old post from some years back where the forum members tried to get together and get a big custom order of Chessex dice with the templar colours/cross etc. I wonder if that ever worked out? I would love to get hold of a nice big pile of Templar Dice of Doom!

I first wanted to find dice with Templar Crosses everywhere. (1 = 1x Cross / 2 = 2x Cross / etc)

But will be hard to find, and will cost a LOT.

 

Finny one could be to have templar cross on each side, except on the 1, where we would have something like "HERESY" on the face where the 1 should be.

[Marshal Mattias]

Haha, I like. But at the very least, a regular one should have a cross for the six, dots for the rest. I want to be excitedly looking for the crosses and my rending/hit rolls/armour saves!

True, but the face where the Cross is, on the dice I linked, is probably the 1. (Like on the 125x dice from GW with Adeptus Mechanicus icon on the face of the 1)

[Marshal Mattias]

Yeah, so it doesn't quite do it for me. :(

[greggles]

Ya if the crosses are on the one, then the emperor is sad.

[Marshal_Roujakis]

Unless when you're doing Leadership tests... when you roll triple 1's for Leadership tests on mindshackle scarabs and all 1's for toughness tests on the Black Mace and all 1's for Initiative Tests when testing for Blind... then that crosses-on-one dice comes really handy :D

[Zyth23]

Yeah, so it doesn't quite do it for me.

Ya if the crosses are on the one, then the emperor is sad.

When I bought my "Bombardement" dice (125 dice with Adeptus Mechanicus icon) I was sad to see the Mechanicus Icon was on the face of the One.

But by typing "Dice Black Templars" on google image, I found the thread where our brother ordered Dices.

And this one is AWESOME, I want 125 of them:

(Only if the Cross is on the 6)

[Marshal Mattias]

Yeah, I want them baaaad. That was Chessex I believe. Useful if you live in the states, less so for us Brits. There is another place (em4miniatures.com) which is cheaper and does small batches (25 minimum) but I haven't seen any of their work so I can't be sure it's going to come out alright.

Meh. I'm from Switzerland.

[Marshal Mattias]

Well, still, EU shipping costs are probably better than trans-Atlantic!

The "big" dice order effort broke down when we couldn't resolve the logistics.

 

So being Templars, the Houston crowd put together their own order and we got our dice. Ours have the cross on the six position, which is where I think it should be, but that's just me. If I remember correctly, Chessex was who we ordered  them from, but I thought Chessex was a UK company? Anyway, they have so much business that we actually had to schedule our production.

 

Totally worth it though.

[Zyth23]

I'll check Chessex.

 

And if there is something cool, I'll probably organize a Dice Ordering.

 

(I'll just have to see how to configure my paypal to receive payment xD)

[Zyth23]

What about Dice with the Numbers from 1 to 5 with the Gothic Style for numbers from our old codex, and the 6 with the Cross? (Forgot that, that will be too expensive.)

 

 

I've sent a mail to Chessex to ask if they can produce Templars Dice, 12mm D6. (I prefer "small" one, the same size as those I bought, those from GW)

[Zyth23]

I'm interessed in bringing this project back alive.

 

I've contacted Chessex to get informations about 12mm dice.

(I'm interessed to have not too big dices, but if they cannot customize smalled than 20mm, I'll go for the 20mm)

 

Then in 3 months I can stock nearly 1'500 $ (nearly 2'000 $ in 4 months)

I'll order them and ship them to myself in Switzerland, and after that I can start speaking of shipping them.

 

I'll probably start a new Thread, and I'll invite all who are still interessed in BT Dice to join it once it will be written.

[Marshal Mattias]

Hot diggity dang, that sounds like a plan! I think I recall that they don't customise smaller than 16mm, but that is a reasonable gaming size. The best plan would be to do a mix of colour schemes revolving around black/white/red etc so that they can be practical for all game scenarios.

[Acebaur]

In the future please do start a new thread instead of resurrecting one from 2 years ago. It could be confusing for people who aren't paying attention to the dates.  I have split the post off from that thread into this one. 

 

 

On topic, I'd probably be interested in some BT dice depending on size, and what they look like.

Understood, I thought the people who were following the old post would be happy to get notifications and read my message.

So about the Dice Project:

For the colors, I thought about that:

- Black, with White dots and White cross, inner black.

- White, with Black dots and Black cross, inner white.

(Take the image from above, invert colors)

- Black, with Red dots and Red cross, inner black.

- Red, with White dots and White cross, inner red.

I'm not sure I've understood the Chessex price right. When they say "0.42$ per side" is it for the customized side or all the size of the dice?

If it's 0.42$ per side, customized or not, here is how I plan to order them: (would require more than 2'000 $, so more than 4 months for me to stock the ammount)

- 200x Black, with White dots and White cross, inner black.

- 200x White, with Black dots and Black cross, inner white.

- 200x Black, with Red dots and Red cross, inner black.

- 200x Red, with White dots and White cross, inner red.

If it's 0.42$ per side customized, meaning 0.42$ per dice, here is how I plan to order them: (would require abit more than 1'500 $, meaning 3 months *maybe 4months* for me to stock the ammount)

- 1000x Black, with White dots and White cross, inner black.

- 1000x White, with Black dots and Black cross, inner white.

- 1000x Black, with Red dots and Red cross, inner black.

- 1000x Red, with White dots and White cross, inner red.

Then, with Dices in stock, I'll begin to see with the interessed how much they would like, and where they live. Then I'll go to my Post office to ask how the shipping to their country works.

[Marshal Mattias]

Are the ones in that photo white dots or more of a

bone/ivory colour? Anyway, they look good to me, can't tell you how much I want a big pile of those... The black/white, white/black are definite, goes without saying. red with black detail might look good? And where possible, making each 'main' colour on the die different will simply make it easier on your opponent. ie 'red is the sarge, black is the power weapon' makes more sense if there is only one type of black die and one type of red. Not sure what other colours would work though. Smokey grey perhaps?

Chessex doesn't provide coloring for the customization, only one shape. (meaning all side same colors)

 

I'll check if they can produce Red with Black dots. (if they can, I'll probably take another set of them in addition of the other mentioned above. (200x if 0.42 per side | 1000x if 0.42 per dice) *will require maybe abit more time for me to stock money then*

Please keep in mind that the B&C has a no trading/selling policy. If you want to get a group of people together who want dice and then order that exact amount and ship them to the members, then that is ok. However, the B&C will take no responsibility for anything that goes wrong with the order nor will it arbitrate between members should there be a disagreement.

 

You cannot however, order bulk and then use the forums to "sell" them to other members on an as needed basis, regardless of whether you sell them at the cost you bought them for.

The idea is to have a stock of dice, to provide them easily. I won't make any profit with that, those who want me to ship some to them will only have to add the shipping fee + the dice value. (the value at which I bought them)

 

But I'll keep that in mind.

As I said, it doesn't matter whether you intend to make a profit or sell them at "cost" the B&C has a no selling or trading policy and the idea you propose would be exactly that.  I understand you are trying to make it as easy as possible but unfortunately we can't allow that.

And if I make a little website, on which I have the stock of dice, to re-ship them to who are interessed.

And then I put a link to this website, probably on my signature here on B&C, is it ok?
