The Loose Association of Wargamers

I've been trying to have some customised dice made (16mm, opaque, D6, design on the 6 spot) via eM4, who used to be Dice & Games, which is now apparently defunct. They are really struggling to sort out the actual designs, despite #1 son having sent them what I think are perfectly useable files, and are now almost certain to miss a deadline of mid-August, having originally given them three months!

Does anyone know of any other companies that will make small quantities of bespoke dice, ideally 50-100 off two different colours, using laser-printed designs (1815 Brunswick flags with the running horse on blue or yellow backgrounds)?

Google seems to only want to give me "marbled" or "pearlescent" cubes, other companies I've found want a minimum order of 1,000 per type, others don't do the colours I want - these are for use with Brunswick Naps and FPW, so black and powder blue - whilst eM4 want a staggering £2 per die, up from 50p last time I used them in 2019.

These guys might be worth an enquiry. Their off the shelf sets of special D6 come in at under £2 a pop so they may be similar price to EM4 for a proper custom set if you're lucky!

If you get desperate (or wanted a stop gap) there is always the option of buying blank dice and making your own transfers.

And, he said while hijacking Brendan's thread, I'm looking for a company which sells blank indented dice like those in Command and Colours. Any ideas?

Ian Brumby at Fenris Games could probably sort you out Brendan

The issue with custom laser cut dice is that you need to hand fill the numbers.

I’ve got some of Ian’s custom ‘Fuck yeah!’ and ‘For Fuck Sakes’ D6’s and they’re great

Although on testing, their website doesn't work properly!

Cheers Paul. I took their dysfunctional website to mean that they're dead. There was a business in Sudbury, Suffolk, who have a similarly pointless website......they're dead as well.

That was what I thought too, but their site is dated 2023.....it takes some effort to form and kill a company in six months !

Just a thought, if you are looking for indented dice do they need to be blank? Printing out stickers to go into the recessed faces will cover up existing printing?

Of any use.

Errrr......this is one of the companies that wants a minimum order of 1,000 off each type.

Surely at the rate you discard failing dice that shouldn't be an issue?
