Jeff's t-shirt thread got me thinking, it'd be kinda cool for us to have some unique dice as a group. I've done batch orders through Chessex in the past for Warpshadow (a tyranid forum), and it was a lot of fun and pretty reasonable both in planning and in cost. Would anyone be interested in that? CTS themed dice with a symbol of our choosing as either the 1 or 6 (or fuck it, the 2) would cost between $.075 - $0.60 per D6. We can get any colors/style people want, the only requirement is that we get at least 10 of a single style before they'll agree to customize it for us. So, what do you say? And what colors/designs would be cool to have? Check the site ( DANIEL THIS IS A LINK) and see what color combos speak to you - this is just the "Gemini" selection, since I know for a fact that these are able to be customized, there are other selections that we can go with as well. |

I'd be down for that for sure. Might as well blow my money on sweet customized shit I have a million of.
Seriously though, this is a real post.
I suppose some green and orange for my niddlies would be cool. What design would we use? Like a stamp cutout of the logo? I could photoshop that up lickety split.

I was thinking we could either just have everyone order something specific to their army, or order a big batch of like...red/white or something (like the logo), to bring us together and stand out when we go to tournaments casual games against each other in our basements.
Or a combo of both - get a dozen or so of the "CST" dice, and then a handful of dice to match your army or whatever, we can literally do whatever if people want it.
As for the design, the logo might be tough to get onto a 16mm die face...is there a way we could create a monogram of the CST in the same font, in like a circle or star or something?

I like the idea of CST specific dice, that's not bad. Is 16mm the tiny dice? Cause I actually want some larger dice, like the Nid ones you have Nick.
And as much as I'm down with red/white, those ones kinda look like they're covered in bloody pus.

I'd be more interested in the larger, I think 25mm? guys. I already have 3 blocks of 16's (not that you don't always need more) but tend to prefer the larger dice these days as they're easier for everyone to see what's happening.
Plus, any logo we make is going to be lost on the 16, unless we just do letters or something... I mean, who doesn't want a hot dog on a 6?

And as much as I'm down with red/white, those ones kinda look like they're covered in bloody pus. Touche on the red/white - now that you said that, I can't not see them as menstrual dice. As for the size, the 16mm are the same size as the Nid dice I use - the GW dice cubes use 10mm dice, so the 16mm is a nice medium sized for both those who don't want the big honkin' 25mm and those who don't want the tiny little GW dice. 16mm is probably the largest that I'm personally willing to use 25mm is almost an inch square, which is huge AND more costly. Maybe we can do like a black/red instead of red/white?

12mm are the smaller dice. 16mm are more the standard size. What about dice with the Chicago flag colors, red, white, pale blue? NVM, just looked at the options on Gemini, nothing close. But just thinking about it, I would imagine a swirly white and blue die, with red pips and an outline of the hotdog might look pretty good.

Purple Steel is a great name for a male strip club.
16mm would be great then. I'm all for it.
I like the warpuppy white/black ones.

Ignore all of my aforementioned numbers, they are horribly, horribly wrong. So yeah, we're good.
Second the warpuppy white/black with red pips. Close enough to our colors, and most importantly, hot dog.
