8th Ed. Custom artillery dice tryouts?

[Qupakoco]

Alright, good interest seems to be drummed up. The other custom dice came in 4 colors last time, I believe. Maybe more than that. I'll see if I can find pictures of them for sample colors.

As for the artillery dice, I think the same color schemes would look quite good. I also see now that the prior order were 16mm dice, so even 18mm or 20mm would be sufficiently large to easily different these dice and should open up more color options.

i wiuld be interested in both sets of dice

Bob prefers smaller dice. He only has stick fingers.

I wasn't sure if I wanted in or not until I went and read the opening post sketchs. Awesome. I'm sure whatever you guys end up picking will be awesome. With how detailed some of them are bigger is probably better.

 

[PlasmaDavid]

I would have thought a separate color for the artillery dice would be good, red or something. So you can pick it out easily, and so it's a bit special.

Also it's always nice to have a couple of dice (three or six) that are a different color for the marking of spells etc.

Slanputin pointed out that Salamander hunting packs were to be more expensive, so Bob has redesigned the misfire side

 

[lbisson]

Love the blinged out skink! Well worth the extra points.

 

[Didymus]

can you even get that detail on a dice?

 

[Qupakoco]

You're awesome, Bob. Perhaps we should have a peasant Skink as well to use for our Razordons?

Ok, talked to Chessex a bit more and I see we have a few color options. And yes, they should be able to get this level of detail no problem. The colors are....

Opaque White (Lame)

Speckled Arctic Camo


Speckled Cobalt


Speckled Fire


Speckled Lotus


Speckled Ninja


Speckled Recon


Speckled Strawberry


Speckled Volcano
Couldn't find a pic for this one

Speckled Water


Let's narrow this down to 3 or 4 colors. I like Fire, Ninja, and Recon. Everyone who is interested in Custom Artillery Dice please post your 3 or 4 fav colors here so I can consolidate the list. Remember these will be 22mm (little bigger than a Skink base) and will only be for the Artillery dice. Custom 6's are in the works.

Does it have to be done in speckled?

For the 22mm ones, yes. I'll see about the 20mm options.

 

[lbisson]

I like:
Recon
Fire
Volcano (did a google search picture the strawberry with black and red reversed with silver pips)

 

[rychek]

Recon, Ninja, Fire. I suspect I would like volcanoe as well, but would need to see a pic.

If it's possible, I'd really like to go with green in Phantom (link below).

I am already trying to come up with a custom number one symbol with chessex for their phantom blue (they can longer do GW IP symbols).

 

[lbisson]

Can we do some kind of Lizard on the number 6? I would rather be excited about a 6 than a 1. I also like Bob's idea of a snake eye for number 1, kind of like he did with the Sharpies.

 

[Qupakoco]

Like the picture that Arli posted earlier, the custom 6 dice I was planning on ordering have a glyph on the 6-side. Like this:



I'll see about the Phantom color.

I contacted Chessex about that, they said they "We were contacted by a lawyer representing GW a few months ago and were warned against using their designs"

 

[Qupakoco]

Ruh roh... Well I guess we need a new symbol for these.
