A hammer would look cool too.  8-)

How many do you end up with and how much is it?
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: librisrouge on November 15, 2012, 04:01:46 PM
We could also go with the two-tailed comet.

Either way, the cost is going to be the main concern by players.

Having already done this for my Beastmen army, I can tell you that the process is rather straightforward and pretty cheap, provided you order them in bulk and someone acts as a "hub" to get them to the other participants in the order.

I'd be in for some blue and gold ones, preferably with a hammer logo on 'em.

So as I read that, even if you only ordered 10 dice with the 6 replaced by a comet (or hammer or whatever) they would cost $1 each plus P&P? That's pretty damned reasonable even before you start collecting a mass order.

Post by: rothgar13 on November 15, 2012, 09:00:21 PM
You have to add an extra bit for shipping, but yeah, that is the case. I got 40 Beastmen dice for $30 (including shipping) when we did this over at the Herdstone. :)

with the lizardmen ones ive order 40 dice for $36.28 that includes delivery to the uk. now the company is american based so someone fromt he states would be better to handle this. On the lizardmen forum we got or 500 pledges so they were only $0.42 each

I like the iron cross too, like on knight shields

I much prefer the silver cross of Jerusalem (from which the iron cross came), but it's much, much harder to paint on troops.
Realistically they all come from (the same design as) the Maltese Cross where the 8 points symbolize the beatitudes in Matthew.  Ah...History Wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_Cross
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Zygmund on November 16, 2012, 11:46:35 AM
Cross is good.

Could it be possible to have the dots as little hammerheads or comets? I think those 16mm standard dice have enough space for this to work, and they say fine detail is possible...

If we find a distributor within the EU (probably in or near the UK), that could cut some costs. Although small packs from the US are not that expensive, really.

I think I would satisfied with some 20 dice. :)

Q-Workshop are based in Poland, and they will create ONLY highly customised dice. Which seems to be what you are after.

I've never ordered dice myself, and I'm thinking of doing so. Has anyone used Chessex or any of the other sellers before, and if so, would they recommend them for speed and cost?

Thanks.

Post by: Snide61 on November 16, 2012, 01:25:30 PM
I would be down for this.  Replacing the 6s is the standard I've seen.  A buddy got TK dice and Skaven dice from their forums.  Customizing the rest of the pips I would say would be overkill.  I would also like to see various color options so that everyone could get their providence's colors on their dice.  For instance I would want green/gold for my stirland army.  I think TK and Skaven forum offered 3 choices of artwork for the 6s as well.

The biggest problem I see is figuring out what colors to get.  I can see a lot of people wanting colors to match their preferred region.

Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Delthos on November 17, 2012, 03:02:37 AM
I'd be interested, but only if they were burgundy dice with golden yellow pips and they had twin-tailed comets... :evil:

Color is definitely going to be an issue. One thing they must be is good contrasting colors so that they are easily read. That's one of my pet peeves with some of the Cheesex dice, especially the speckled ones. It can be very difficult to read some of them on the game table.
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: rothgar13 on November 17, 2012, 03:27:20 AM
Each order can have up to 5 color combinations, so most people should be fine in that regard. I organized the one over at the Herdstone (the Beastmen forum, for those of you who don't know). I'd be willing to do so here, but only as a last resort - it's a bit of work, and I kind of need more painting time.
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: S.O.F on November 17, 2012, 03:28:11 AM
To me the 'coolest' option would be if the pips were of a contrasting color but that side of the die had some sort of image along the lines of how constellations are done. So say:

1 - Twin Tailed Comet for Sigmar
2 - Scales for Verena
3 - Spear for Myrimidia
4 - tough but some Antlered Tree deal for Taal
5 - Hourglass for Morr
6 - Three Claw Slashes for Ulric

Just a thought...

Chessex has offices in the UK and Germany too: http://chessex.com/Customer%20Service/Company%20Info%20Offices.htm

I'm in for the "ninja" or "urban camo" speckled dice with the comet or hammer on 6's!! http://chessex.com/Dice/Speckled%20pages/speckled%20poly%20dice.htm

I'd actually like dice similar to Battlefleet Gothic order dice for the Empire.

2 sides each with symbols for each battle prayer.

I took it upon myself to start tinkering with some artwork.

I started with this:
(http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn8/Snide61/Warhammer/Empire%20Dice/Comet.png)

And to simplify it:
(http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn8/Snide61/Warhammer/Empire%20Dice/Comet_black.png)

Something I tried that may not look good, but at smaller size may be fine:
(http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn8/Snide61/Warhammer/Empire%20Dice/Comet_black2.png)

More accurately I think they would look like this on a dice:

Title: Re: empire dice

Nice work. I'd say the version without the stylized flames would be best. You want to keep the design simple in my opinion.
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Eighty on November 20, 2012, 09:51:26 AM
i would commit to the double tailed comet. gold and blue or blue and red would be great!
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Snide61 on November 20, 2012, 12:34:59 PM
I have a few more ideas for dice.  I guess each design is considered to be a different order so eventually we would need to decide on one design, but I would like to throw a few more things out there yet.

*EDIT: I agree too about the plain comet being the better of the 2.*
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Snide61 on November 20, 2012, 03:14:54 PM
Ok, next idea:

Its not the prettiest, but it could work.
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: pistolpadds on November 21, 2012, 10:26:03 PM
I like all but I think the solid comet one really stands out. Now on the lizardmen forum I think they sent the design and the company sent them a mock up of how it would look. see here http://www.lustria-online.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10002
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Snide61 on November 27, 2012, 03:04:33 PM
Yes they did.  I acutally work with the guy organizing their order. ;)  Hence, my interest in getting an empire design going.  I agree that the solid comet is a winner. 

I am mostly a troller here and don't post much, but I would be willing to organize an order if people would like me to.  I don't know how everyone feels about it since I don't have many posts and not much for reputation here.  Thoughts?
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: wardenmunger on November 27, 2012, 04:52:44 PM
I'm a member of a gaming group called The Black Sun based in the UK and we broadcast a podcast each month. We ordered dice from Chessex last year. We were really happy with the results as we're our listeners - we sold 800 in 48hrs. The issues were the £75 customs charge on top of shipping and a bit of a wait for them.

I like the idea of the comet and if available in a few colours I think you should go with the state capitols:

Altdorf - Blue with Red pips
Talabheim - Red with Yellow pips
Nuln - Black with Red pips
Middenheim - Blue with White pips

I know this wont suit everyone - me included but without doing every province and city state you won't please everyone.
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Hieronymus on November 27, 2012, 05:49:25 PM
Are you guys going to do another order of them? I missed out the first time, although I was hesitant at the thought of getting an unsolicited dna sample!
Title: Re: empire dice
Post by: Snide61 on November 27, 2012, 06:00:47 PM
I was thinking of getting some of there multicolor 2 or 3 color dice as options for colors.  We can order 5 different colors with one design and it would be considered one order.  I personally think they look better than solid color dice.

I would say we refer to the poll on this forum (http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=16117.msg187183#msg187183 (http://warhammer-empire.com/theforum/index.php?topic=16117.msg187183#msg187183)) to decide which cities/providences to offer.

As far as shipping international (if needed) I don't know what all goes into that yet, but would expect the recipient to absorb the cost.  It would save us some on the up front cost by having it shipped to someone in the states (presumably myself) and then break the order down into individual orders to ship overseas.

The pricing is pretty enticing to order in a large group.

10-25 dice: $1.00 per side
26-99 dice: $0.75 per side
100-199 dice: $0.60 per side
200-499 dice: $0.50 per side
500-999 dice: $0.42 per side
1000+: please ask for quotes

We have placed one order as the Black Sun and had pink dice with white pips. We will definitely place another order for the podcast at some point. It's easy and cost effective in large enough numbers.

Smaller version

If i got a vote for colours i'd like something simple such as Opaque Ivory with Black pips for representing Reikland

With the customs charge would chessex not mark the box as gift and worth less then £15 so you dont get the customs charge

On the design front has anyone got the luthor huss novel. The pic at the start of each chapter would be good. big hammer with sigmar across it .

I ship stuff internationally, and the problem with that is that it is just slightly massively illegal (the falsifying of the value - marking something as a "gift" is generally fine because, hey, I didn't technically speaking sell them ... he made a donation and I sent some dice. What a co-incidence! Prove it, copper!) and - if discovered - can lead to major issues with HM Customs and Revenue breathing down your neck.

Agreed, generic images such as that can't possibly be covered, likewise for example the Ultramarine symbol, the Black Templar Symbol, even the Hammer of Sigmar is designed like many historical Warhammers, these kind of images have been around for hundreds of years.

It's likely that its a specific image that is copyrighted, for example if you were to lift this comet symbol from the life of sigmar book (see below) it would possibly breach copyright, but drawing your own twin tailed comet can no more breach copyright than drawing your own symbol of the Sun.

My suggestion for colours would be white/black pips all round, and the solid colours for the provinces;

Red
Yellow
Blue
Green
White

That way, people could mix these colours to get the province they wanted.  For example, as a Talabecland fan, I could get the red and yellow.  Simple.  Reikland, get the red and white.  etc....

As for organizing this privately, any volunteers?  I am sure there would be interest.

Replace the skull with a hammer.

Well we don't have to worry about using the comet.  I sent it to Chessex and they said they have already been contacted by GW with a list of images they are not allowed to use.  So back to the drawing board.

Would love to see this list of images. Reckon Chessex would be so kind as to forward it to us? :happy:

I take it calling it a twin tailed sun or solar flare wouldn't get around the issue? :biggriin:

Give me a few days on the hammer.  Although I would bet we would have better luck with the skull.  I am awaiting word from Chessex on its acceptability.

I second burgundy with gold, but I'll repaint the gold yellow! The skull looks good and I'm guessing will look better than a hammer.

I would love to join in on that order, so let me know when you get into specifics!
Burgundy and gold or dark blue and gold sound pretty neat
