wow hat's very neat. so how much will that cost you for how many dice? im looking for some custom dice to, for each army a set of dice. ( :Ohmm green red for woodies, black and red for brets, purple and pink for deamons, and well purple and gold for lizzies )
This is my first time ordering custom dice. I do know that the price is dependent on quantity. Here is Chessex's webpage for custom dice orders: http://www.chessex.com/Dice/Custom_Dice_Home.htm.
Those Limited Ed LM dice look awesome, i'm gonna have to try and get some from my local GW store. Hopefully they still got some.
My local GW stored still has a bag of the special edition dice. You need to purchase 1 old lizardmen item to receive 1 dice or a new item to receive 2 dice. If there were some way I could get you guys the dice I would.
Its not quite thread necromancy since it isn't that old, but I felt it worth while. As I mentioned earlier I was ordering custom dice since I could not get the limited edition Lizardman dice. The left die is the color I went with: I bring it up because if anyone else is interested in doing the same thing I recommend going through Chessex. They are a snap to work with and very friendly. I was very impressed, which is why I wanted to mention it. If you are curious I ordered 36 dice with that image on the '6' face and with shipping it cost me $34.00. Not too shabby if anyone else if thinking about custom dice.
The blue looks pretty cool. Nice. Less than a dollar a dice seems good, until you see the $34 for 36. Seems a fair bit, but I guess including postage its ok.
Shipping alone was $7 for in the Continental US so really the dice worked out to $27.00 in total; or $0.75 each. The price is whole dependent on the quantity you order. They are 16mm dice which individually sell for $0.80 each. So as long as you order a quantity of 26 or more you end up paying less per die than ordering them individually. I am not certain why Chessex is willing to charge less than what the die usually sells for, but I am not complaining. I suppose I'm not getting the plastic cases they sell in, but I hardly see that as an issue.
Most places tend to give you a small discount for buying in bulk.. Encourages people to buy more I guess. I'm not sure how they make the symbols on the dice, but I imagine the more they sell of the custom dice the more economical.
