8th Ed. Custom artillery dice tryouts?

get bob to do one of his spawing drawings thats an in house thing and always cool

 

Congrats Arli on your one-of-a-kind dice. I'm trying to think of some design to replace the GW design.

Was thinking maybe Bob can draw a horned lizard head similar to this?


Or how about a Mayan glyph like this?

 

They are indeed and better looking than the GW ones.

What do people think of these?

 

speckled Volcano:

My vote would be fire, recon, cobalt. I don't think the designs would stand out very well on the ninja colour scheme, with the grey on grey speckles.

 

Rikard, the top design looks pretty cool.

 

Did anyone else notice that the Chessex Logo is the 8 pointed star of Chaos?

Do we really want to go with these guys fluffwise?

Anyhow, I like Rikard's top image for the 6 side of a dice,


although wouldn't this one be better?


When Bob becomes rich and famous and has an online store, he will make you all pay through the nose for T-Shirts and custom 6 style dice with a Bob image on them.

Back to scatter dice. I would really like to make a D3, 2 sides with 1s, 2 sides with 2s etc. This works out also for scatter dice which have 2 "hit" sides which also indicate direction.

At it's simplest (non lizard-y) extreme would be


(Please note that I didn't tear the arms off any of my models just to make a "point". Is this how you treat your friends, Qupakoco?)

Here is my earlier D3 concept, which can also do scatter (triangular eyes indicate direction) and with a box around the 3 to indicate a hit


Imagine rolling up 7 impact hits with an upgraded steg for D3 wounds on each. Don't you want to buy 7 of these puppies just in case?

And saurus with spears, 5 wide would need 20 dice (and extra rolls for PF). This could end up costing a lot!

 

Cheers mate, I thought it was appropriate and no-one owns the IP on that.

@Ari, I found my GW issue LM dice...all 20 of them! If you want I'll switch 10 of those for 10 of yours.

@Bob, I like the D3 concept.

 

I'm going to go ahead and say that I'm really interested in the dice as well. I agree with whoever it was that the dice would look nice as green phantoms (or the recon ones), and with Bob that I'd prefer small dice.
I like the designs , but I vote we wait for the army book, because there's gonna be a hell of a lot of art, which could be inspirational for this project.

CLAW

 

Image taken off ebay, some chuckle head is trying to sell the six below for £49.99!

 

OOPS
i han't realized that we had used the same symbol as the official ones.

 

No worries at all, yours do look better and I wish there were 20 or so spare going (I'd happily pay for them).

@N810,

Don't worry mate, loads of other people got custom dice from Chessex, I doubt it was Lustria online's order that caused the GW hissy fit.

I am digging the colour and pattern of the custom ones you had made though (the ones Ari showed) I'd love to get custom dice with those same patterns, both with the PIPS and artillery dice.

 

Ulthuan did a large order last October that used a glyph/rune pulled straight form the 7th ed. army book. I can't imagine GW being happy about that (if they know about it that is).

 

Well, look what I found on Ulthuan.net http://www.ulthuan.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41146&start=60

There had better be a very good explanation for this pal.

 

LOL! Bob, you've discovered my alter ego. He tends to be a bit quicker than me, but he is also quite a bit squishier.

If you check some other well known warhammer sites, you might find me there as well. But I have to admit that I spend most of my time here these days. The corporate firewall at work likes Lustria better than the rest. And for a firewall, it has very good taste (in this instance)

 

I don't mean to bump this but I had an email from Chessex.



What do you all think?
