Candleshoes Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Due to some of the excellent and unique dice sets I have seen people with lately, I thought it might be a good time for some Dark Angel love. Thanks to the wonderful people down at Chessex, I put in an order for some dice worthy of the Lion. They sent me some pics of the Test-Dice. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p113/Darkbeastman/DSCN0274.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p113/Darkbeastman/DSCN0273.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaika87 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Holy crap, I'm jealous of those awesome dice. Was it a reasonable price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugebill Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Is the Dark angel sign on the 6 or the 1? cause it annoys me when the "cool" side is the one that result in a failure pretty much all the time. (attacks, save, plasma...) But but but: They do look pretty darn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Is the Dark angel sign on the 6 or the 1? cause it annoys me when the "cool" side is the one that result in a failure pretty much all the time. (attacks, save, plasma...) Check the number positions on a normal dice – you'll see the 'cool' side is indeed the 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candleshoes Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 The chapter symbol is on the 6 (all the more to infuriate your opponent with when rolling well!). I went for 30 of them, and it came to about 20ish bucks. The price rubric makes them each cost less the more you buy. **hint hint, we should do a Dark Angel forum order for cheap prices when our fabled new book comes out in the next year and a half to two years. Works out to about 40ish cents a dice when ordering bulk.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hmmm that isn't a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HsojVvad Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 How do they get away without GW coming knocking on thier door? Is it because the sword is not broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 How do they get away without GW coming knocking on thier door? Is it because the sword is not broken? actually the broken sword is the only bit of IP GW could make waves about. Since the winged dagger/sword is the regimental badge of a very famous british army regiment. Did you only get them green? Black and Bone would be cool as well.

jaxom Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah, the winged sword is commonly a symbol for the sword of Damocles and the SAS insignia is one of the better known units to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 While true about the winged sword being used by many as a symbol, THAT PARTICULAR winged sword design is very much an issue of IP. For any sort of mass production, the styling needs to be generic, otherwise GW would very much be within their rights to ream Chessex for IP violation. http://www.prestigenumismatics.com/ekmps/s...5B2%5D-23-p.jpg http://www.kellybadge.co.uk/images/P2E890.jpg Yeah, those don't look quite so much like the Dark Angels symbol. Best stick with something similar to those, a design of your own, or something from the public domain. Just some friendly advice from somebody who has already dealt with this sort of thing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugebill Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Count me in if you guys want to buy a bunch of those. PM me or stuff. Would be cool to do it defore a new release tho. (waiting after gw is rage-inducing (I played necrons, wishing they 'd update it for a while(but i do know they are suposed to come soon now(GOD I overuse the brakets ))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Runner Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I got some custom DA dice years ago, also from Chessex but used the speckled green dice. They're primarly green, but have black speckles on them and look amazing. Sadly the Legion symbol is on the 1 side, but they're my most used dice set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Neo Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 definitely count me in. would be cool if we could also get black dice and bone ones with red numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Edgimus Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 it think it's safe to say with enough pre warning i'd be up for this as well, say what 10 green, black and bone? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoonKin Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yes we should organise a forum-order or something. Count me in if you guys are ordering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Darius Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I'd be down for that as well. Any of the suggestions, green, black, and/or bone. The black should have the Ravenwing symbol of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Those look pretty sweet, I might have to consider ordering some myself. Did you just send Chessex an e-mail asking if they could produce the dice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Even though I don't play DA, I'd be up for a joint order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorriSnorrison Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yeah I know, I'm not a Dark Angel, but I've got to ask - Candleshoes, did you ask the guys at Chessex to make those dice? Because I've checked their website and can't find a link to where one could create those them. I mean, they look incredible, and I'd like to have some of those in BA colours/symbols for me. I hope this has not come up already or makes any inconvenience. ;) Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
