I'd assume everyone would want some red/black/gold combo and I believe on a large enough order Chessex will do up to 5 different colors for a single group buy.

 

Of course if they aren't willing to do the BA icon then that might put a damper on the project...at least through Chessex. I'm sure there's other custom dice makers that will do it. I haven't looked to hard into this as I wasn't sure how well received it would be. Last time it was done on here it seems that over 2k dice were ordered. So...just wanted to update with the color options and see what folks thought about the idea as a whole. If anyone has some logo ideas feel free to post up...maybe something that is Blood Angels but doesn't infringe in GW's property rights. Or I'll look around and see what other custom dice options are out there. I'll even go ahead and send Chessex a couple BA icons to see what they say. Who knows...maybe they won't even realize what it is and it can slip by. So yeah...that's where it's at. I still plan to try and go through with it even if it's just a small batch for myself.

I'd be interested.

But only if their not from chessex.

I don't like rounded edged dice.

Even if their bad averages are just my own biases, they roll of the table to easy.

Any other dice company's you can suggest? Or just anything that's square corners opposed to round?

I could live with square-edged from chessex if it means I could get BA dice with the symbol on the 6 for once.

 

Edit: alibaba I've heard is cheaper than chessex, but with lower quality control.

I'd been in for the Gemini black-red with gold pips. What size are you planning? I tend to use smaller dice and have a bunch of the Chessex 12mm dice, which I find absolutely perfect. If we're talking about 16mm, I'd still be interested but would to have a think about how many I want.

Maybe this give or take the cross bones would be cool. Maybe a chalice with a blood drop? I know it's a bit specific to a successor chapter but also pretty generally BA oriented.

I don't know how it would transfer over but a blood drop on laurels could also be cool.

Any change we can swing this to the Flesh Tearers icon? *soft chuckle* *exits stage left*

 

You can have whatever image you want on there, however the more people want that icon, the cheaper they get.

 

The last dice run was for both winged blood drop and saltire and skulls, in whatever colours you wanted,

Bump.

 

I've got excited about the prospect of custom dice and I want to make sure this thread doesn't slip into obscurity.

 

What's the next step? I guess we need to decide an emblem that's going to go on the "6"? Then it's just a question of people deciding how many they want and in which colour. Right?

 

Apart from a suggestion from Xenith that they might not want to do a dice run with a recognised symbol, is there any reason we don't just use the standard chapter emblem? Surely we should at least ask if it would be an issue?

 

Given total freedom of choice, I would pick the regular chapter symbol. Failing that, I would have to consider options. Should we create a poll to see what would be the preferred choice?

I'll ask...there was a post today or yesterday of someone getting 25 dice made with the Death Watch icon. So it didn't seem to be an issue unless Chessex didn't know what it was. 

 

So wings with blood drop? I'll get that request over to them and see what they say. I guess once the icon is agreed on by us and approved by them...we can set a deadline and everyone that wants in will choose the color and how many. Once we hit the deadline we can figure out how to collect money, place the order, then wait.

 

I suppose we'll also need to whittle down the color selection to 5 since that's the limit on a single order.

I'd be down with that...I'm doing my BA's as Flesh Tearers. Maybe a second smaller run? All we need is 26+ dice to get a price break. If we can get 200 dice ordered they drop to $.50 each which is pretty decent. I think it can be done.
