unofficial faction dice
« on: July 03, 2014, 06:13:29 PM »
so since one or two assholes bought up the entire collection of faction dice catalyst produced a couple years back, I was wondering... has anyone here made any attempts to have custom sets made of thier own?

for example.

Well there are some offical Dice Sets out here in germany.
They are from Ulisses which is the license holder here in germany.

http://www.f-shop.de/tabletop/classic-battletech/wuerfel/

You will get 4 small Dice with no logo, and 2 "normal Dice" with the House logo.
Okay the price isn´t that cheap but it is offical and you must keep in mind that the german market isn´t that big as the american. :)

Yo, while those look good, metal and price turn me off a little.

I have a collection of several, the right die plus a good logo makes awesome dice. Ice Hellions for example Bears too, and plenty of other factions. Davion and Mandrills are not that good, because the dice were too yellow.

But yeah, its possible and not that expensive. Thanks to Andai Pryde. :) (My BT contact)

Shapeways probably could do sets in their 3d printers

True, but would those dice hold up?

Not sure about printing. I say the way to go is buy dice and print them the way you like them. There are some who do that I suppose.

But in the future printers can do those properly balanced? Would need a bit of testing I guess.

When I get a camera I could try to post a photo, but well, that will take too long. :)
