Zyth23 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 So I got conversation by mail with Chessex, they can make order up to 1'000 dice atm. So I'll go for that.Here is the color they can provide, on 16mm dice, with the Cross on the 6: (I'll take only some Opaque,)Opaque Ivory/blackOpaque White/blackOpaque Yellow/blackOpaque Orange/blackOpaque Red/whiteOpaque Green/whiteOpaque Blue/whiteOpaque Purple/whiteOpaque Grey/blackOpaque Black/whiteOpaque Black/gold--Those are the color that Interess me:Opaque Ivory/blackOpaque White/blackOpaque Black/whiteOpaque Black/goldI think I'll take 500 Ivory/Black, and 500 Black/Gold. The two others are too "clean". Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288184-dice-templars-themed-dice/page/2/#findComment-3628144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mattias Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 They look good! I would tentatively suggest that red/white or grey/black might be worth considering as well just for the ability to roll for seperate models, ie the plasma guy, the sarge, etc. although perhaps in smaller proportions, as ivory and black base colours will probably be the popular choice as the 'main' dice with only a few required in other colours.

Never roll plasma with Templars Dice you Heretik! But I'll check if it's possible to take some Red/White in addition. Then that would mean 400 Ivory/Black, 400 Black/Gold and 200 Red/White.

Marshal Mattias Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 That sounds cool :) Hehe, yeah, what I meant to say was rolling for the power weapon initiate, the sword brother, the chaplain joined to the 20-man blob, etc :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288184-dice-templars-themed-dice/page/2/#findComment-3628184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I like the Black/white better than black/gold.

The Black/White is too "clean" for me, but that's also right the Black/Gold isn't realy Templary.

PATemplar Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I ordered Black Templar themed dice from Chessex just last year. First I called them to inquire about costs and if there was a surcharge for mixing colors which there wasn't for what I wanted. I mentioned I had seen that they had done a run with what I was looking for ie. a maltese cross with a skull in the center and they said they stiil had the die to make them. They did request I forward them a picture just to make sure and I copied them the one from the old thread on this list, I think it was Dono who had previously posted his dice picts. Anyways I ordered 40 black w/white crosses&skulls , 10 whie w/ black crosses&skulls and 10 red w/white crosses &skulls. I got the cross & skull on the 6 spot so I would mind seeing it come up unlike the aquilla on the old GW dice thats on the one spot. Chessex is in the US and I think my 60 dice were around $55 if I remember correctly. Given I ordered more than 50 it brought the cost to 75 cents each plus $10 shipping I think. They were fast and really easy to work with but the chap who does the custom orders isn't there everyday so you may need to leave him a message if things are the same as last year.

Any chance of a pic to show us how they look in all their templary glory? Yeah, I had seen a pic of some Maltese cross/skull ones you are talking about which had gotten me looking too. Black/white seems it will be good to me, as does white/black. I'm not especially fussed, so long as there are two 'main' colours and a third smaller batch. And as long as they all remain suitably templar-ish in colour. To me that's quite broad black/white/ivory/red/gold/grey. I'll be pledging for a nice big batch anyway!

Chessex are in UK, maybe they have an US spot too but it's UK based. I got mail conversation about the price, size, quantity, and last one was about the picture. I'll get soon more informations from them.

Brother Tyler Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Chessex is in the UK and Germany. They have a lot of business in the US, though, with a strong distribution pipeline (I see Chessex in every independent game store that I visit).

Chessex may be a UK and German company too but Chessex Manufacturing is in Ft. Wayne ,Indianna in the US and there ph hours are in eastern standard time . There are Brit and German flags on the Chessex site but look under billing and payment info and you'll see their US info and address. The folks I talked to when ordering my dice lacked that decidely British accent you get dealing GW UK staff. I'll try and get photos of my dice posted later today.

Zyth23 Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 So I got another mail from Chessex, they perfectly replicated the dice: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/080/5/4/_wh40k__templars_dice_001_by_zyth23-d7b2mv4.jpg http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2014/080/d/c/_wh40k__templars_dice_002_by_zyth23-d7b2n39.jpg (I've asked for the Black/White too) I will finaly order: - 400x Ivory/Black - 400x Black/White - 50x Black/Gold - 150x Red/White Chessex will send me the exact prices to send them to me in Switzerland soon.

DasPanzerIstUber Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Has anyone tried rolling them though? I remember reading a dice-discussion where the carved out actually altered the results.

Marshal_Roujakis Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Has anyone tried rolling them though? I remember reading a dice-discussion where the carved out actually altered the results. Any truth to that? Unless they're Chessex, other Dice co. have a tendency of making one side heavy since they can't get the balance right. Chessex on the other hand have been called out numerous times regarding the 1 or 6 sides being too heavy so either 1 comes out all the time or 6 comes out all the time, so they got all their dices fixed and never received a complaint since then. Short answer, if Chessex = good, all others beside GW... Liking the dices Zyth... might make an order for myself as well, since I'm pretty darn close to a Chessex dice distribution center.... dang things expensive though...

Arthanor Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Any chance of getting "sword brethren dice"? Red with black cross? (or black with red cross, I guess that could work too) It would be cool to match the dice to the squad: White with Black Cross: Regular Templars Black with white: Chaplains (you need the distinction now that they roll at i4 with the other marines) Red with Black: Sword Brethren/Sword brother Black with gold: Honor guard/HQ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288184-dice-templars-themed-dice/page/2/#findComment-3631001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, they didn't mentioned I could order some Black/Red or Red/Black. I'll try to match as much as possible for our old colors by squad. But maybe for a second order. First I want to have basic Templars Dice, for me and for those who want some. And maybe 1-2month after I'll see for the Squad Specific dice =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288184-dice-templars-themed-dice/page/2/#findComment-3631029 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthanor Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Ah, well. It seemed more likely that you didn't think about it than that for some reason they don't do either red with black pips or vice-versa. It seems like a pretty basic scheme. Anyhow.. Thanks for organizing this. I'll keep an eye on it!

Marshal Mattias Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 It sounded like they gave Zyth a list of what they could currently produce rather than their full range. Maybe they are out of stock on black/red? Either way, this is gonna rock. I'm waiting excitedly.
