8th Ed. Lizardmen Custom Dice?

Quoting for reference from the chessex website:

@Scalenex: My personal preference is for a bunch of dice with the 6 customised as Sotek glyph (main dice, for desiring 6's), and for 2 leadership dice with the 1 customised to a something (either slann mask or snake eye). In the quote above, it seems to imply that customising 1's, or even 1's and 6's on the same die is totally feasible. Just a matter of asking the question and quote I guess.

For artillery dice, you know I'm in. You'd only need to customize 3 sides. Even if they display only pips instead of numerals, you'd just have to make your own 8 and 10 pip sides.

When do people think we should start looking at launching our order? Given GW's track record on releasing new books, I would not count my chickens before the eggs fossilised. Do we want to start soon (around November), around christmas, or sometime just after christmas (when everyone comes back with their new models/enthusiasm)?

 

If you do 1's and 6's then you don't need to have 2 different sets of dice made up. And if you are ordering "leadership" dice, remember you need 3, not 2, because of the cold blooded rule.

On color, the Gemini Purple-Teal/gold are just gorgeous, so that's my color vote!

 

Hi everyone, I filled out the survey before. I am just popping in to say HI and that I would be down to buy some dice.

 

I also like the purple and teal as well as the Jade Sarab ones (The purple and teal are the colors I have planned for my army!!!!!!!)

So if we were to get up to five, It would probably be those two and one of the more green ones?

 

For the record purple and teal is cool with me goes with my tepok army

 

I popped into my local game store and they have a cube of twelve 16mm teal/purple dice... let me tell you! They look even better in person!!!!!

Ill send the Chessex guy an email about the possibility of custom 6 and 1s but I dont know about the special artillary dice and such. I think the most I would be able to handle organizing would be custom 6s with additional custom 6s and 1s(eye) for Ld tests and such.

With that in mind would we want a custom 6 side on the "snake eyes" dice? or just replace the 1s?

 

I love the purple/teal!

 

My vote would be customoize the 6 and the 1, rather than have to order a separate set of 3 dice to just use for cold blooded leadership rolls. One die to rule them all...

 

Latest email from Joe at Chessex...

The color he is refering to is the Vortex Green everyone liked initially. But I wouldnt hold your breath waiting for it. The TK forums waited around about two months for a color to come in and ended up ordering something differnt.

So... I say we start discussing 3 colors for the 6s customized and 2 colors for the 1s. Also, Ill need to come up with a jpeg for the snake eye to send to him.

Colors to me dont matter, except Teal/Purple with Gold WILL be included sound off!!!!!! Ill get to work on the eye!

 

Is he saying that Gemini Purple-Teal/gold is out of stock? If so, I'd wait until they have that color restocked before ordering.

If we can't get the 6 and the 1 replaced, which sounds like the case, then I'd vote for just the 6.

I would, however, propose a second dice with all 6 sides replaced, of which the 1 would be a snake eye, and of which most of us would be surely willing to order just 3 for leadership tests and special rolls, like rolling 2d6 for terrain and the like.

As you can see, there are 3 different 6-sides custom dice being made right now for the Skaven on the underEmpire, at the cost of $5 each: http://s6.zetaboards.com/The_UnderEmpire/single/?p=8078958&t=8784452

And here is the order form (that we can use as a form as well): http://z6.ifrm.com/4812/86/0/p1020768/The_New_and_Improved_Skaven_Dice_Order_Form.pdf


Are we going to let the Skaven get the better of us?

I'd be happy to design the faces of our own 6 sided die. Just say the word.

 

I am loving that ivory colour. Would love it for artillery dice or leadership dice.

That order form is a pretty nice template; well ordered. Let's steal it!

I like the idea of an extra fully customised set for special rolls. I'll trawl the book for some possible icons for the other numbers.

Let's have a third set for artillery dice as well. If no one wants to include it in this run, I'll just create another thread, and let it sit until enough people are keen.

Also, T'hinker'er, I'm pretty sure the reference to out-of-stock colours was for the vortex green; the purple/teal was in-stock (right, ChandlerGriz?).

 

Correct

 

Sounds interesting and I'm definitely down for some lizardmen dice.

 

Yaaaaay! O.K., I'm down for a set of each and every specialized die we come up with

 

If Teal/Purple with Gold is the only color we need this will be easy! No other dice in the long list of Chessex dice colors appeals to anyone?

 

Purple/gold/teal doesn't really work for me. I'll go with either lustrous, jade, or vortex green.
