[Archive] CDO Custom Dice - Ordering Thread

Pyro Stick:

I guess ill order 10. I would order more if i knew i would use them a lot but i probably wont. It will just be cool having dice i helped to design. My first choice for a colour would be this (although i was told that its out of stock atm):

http://www.chessex.com/Dice/Scarab/Blue.htm

Second Choice: http://www.chessex.com/Dice/Scarab/images/scarabscarlet_big.jpg

Then either the gold, black or shadow lustrous colours

Ronshank:

Alfract are you sure? it will cost you $2.50 just to get the order before you post it. Is this because you don’t have a credit card? I’m open to pms if you want to talk it over

My only army is CD’s so I wish I could afford 50 but postage and conversion costs are a worring unknown… but I keep getting this nagging feeling I will want more as my army grows

I’m going to think on it more and I might up-date my order coz I’m thinking that three different colours would be nice one for normal, one for dispell, and one for spell dice. i’ll have to look it up now rolls eyes (too many ideas not enough thinking though in my head, I just wanted to get an order in as it looked like it had just about been finalised when I wasn’t online.) (thinking about it 45 is a good number (27 + 9 each for the other types)) I still wish we could have got custom artillery dice going I loves my earth shakers etc. Lol have you noticed how all my posts seem to be thinking out loud

this is nice company making very nice dices :idea

Ronshank:

I’m being a pain but i’ve just sent my pm to ToM with my updated dice order plus some other stuff. And yes Vexxus this is all very exciting! :hat off if I could make the hat dance I would.

Time of Madness:

List update.

I sent an e-mail off (although it was rather late in the week) and haven’t heard anything back yet. Unfortunately I will be away on business for the next two weeks with limited internet access.

I have asked Ronshank to touch base again via e-mail as she has already had previous contact with Chessex.

Hoping to be able to finalize prices by next weekend at the latest. We have nearly 600 dice ordered and should be able to go ahead with this project.

Okay time to get back to work…

10 dice

Alfract has yet to choose his colours and will choose between the five that get finalized

the sums above are just the first choices…

Definate colour choices are:

Velvet Black (234 dice, 9 people)

Scarab Scarlet (180 dice, 8 people)

Orange Vortex (63 dice, 3 people)

which leaves two more choices…

first choice extra colours:

Basic black with red pips…40 (other option Velvet black) maelzch’s colour choice

Lustrous Gold…10 (other option Smoke Red Translucent) NIcodemus’s colour choice updated

Smoke Red Translucent…40 (other option Basic Black) Kered’s colour choice

Blue Blood…10 (other option Scarab Scarlet) Pyro Stick’s colour choice

As you can see the second options lead to an interesting dilemma and it seems to be between Pyro and Nicodemus as to which way we go. I’ve sent a pm to Nicodemus in the hopes of getting a second option, and i’ve also sent a pm to Pryo asking for his imput. Maybe everyone on this list could get their second option to be fair, but then maelzch should then get his choice as it would then be ordered, and that still leaves Nicodemus getting his option even though he has only ordered 10 in a colour that is not confirmed. Another way to look at it is the most dice ordered gets their colour choice but Nicodemus has not given a second option…hopefully this can be sorted soon. I have asked to explain if there is a specific reason for the colour choices in case they are to reflect the army colours which could influence a decision. Either way it kind of looks like we might have to wait for Nic to put his two cents in.

…Oh and Time of Madness sometimes Chessex might take a few days but you will get that reply e-mail.

Thanks for putting all this time and effort into getting things organized. I didn't realize my choice was going to cause any headaches. I'm not bothered in the least to switch my colours up... although looking at Pyro's colour choice of Scarab Blue Blood I want that one now instead too ;)

Seriously though I'd be happy with 10 Smoke Red Translucent dice instead of the Lustrous Gold. If I really want them bad enough I can just put in my own order separately in the future.

Alfract:

i’ve decided to go for Velvet black.

Ronshank:

Thanks for that Nicodemus and Alfract  ;)

So from where i’m looking it looks like it will be-

Basic Black 40

Smoke Red Translucent becomes 50

and Pyro’s choice adds to Scarab Red

Which makes the…

Offical colours:

Velvet Black

Scarab Scarlet

Orange Vortex

Basic Black and Red pips

Smoke Red Translucent

Of course I still have to give this new list to Chessex for a final okay so the colours may still have to change depending on what Chessex has available.

So the list now looks like this:

fingers crossed that Chessex accepts the colours. I’ve just checked this with an eairlier e-mail from the company and Velvet Black and Smoke Red Translucent could be an issue but i’ll wait for confirmation from Chessex before I worry too much as there are many orders for the Velvet black and the order itself is so large they might let us get away with it. We will see.

I have sent the e-mail to Chessex, so now all we have to do is wait for the reply.

maelzch:

thanks for putting the time into sorting this out Ronshank & ToM!

Ronshank:

There is a chance that we will not be able to get Smoke Red Translucent and if that is the case the list will look more like this:

20 Blue Blood  (Pyro and Nicodemus)

80 Basic Black (maelzch and Kered)

My fingers are crossed for Velvet Black as it’s such a large order. I should have been playing closer attention to what colours we were chosing from. I assumed that the list I posted from Chessex of colour options was being used. A very silly mistake on my part. I hope it all works out. If not i’ll do my best to fix it before Time of Madness gets back. There’s still a chance that Chessex will say that it’s all fine but i’m erring on the side of caution just in case. If it doesn’t work out I will of course repost that list here

Kered:

I’m fine with just black with red if the other one is not available. thank You for telling me the colour change. :hat off

Time of Madness:

Thanks for putting the finishing touches on things :slight_smile:

I’ll be back on Friday!

Time of Madness

Ronshank:

Just in case you guys are wondering what I sent Chessex yesturday here it is:

To Joseph Kogin of Chessex Manufactoring, Re the CDO website Order



Hello Ronshank (I put my name in here) from Chaos Dwarfs Online again. I believe that Time of Madness has been e-mailing you about the CDO order. This is because he actually had the idea.



Just to re-cap the members of the Chaos Dwarf On-line (CDO) website are interested in making some custom dice with the 6 pips removed in order to put our ‘symbol of hashut’ design on it.



Time of Madness has unfortunately believed that all of the Chessex colours were available and has told the board that all the colours were available instead of pointing them to my post of your accepted colours e-mail. I should have been checking better but it has been done now and he is currently on a business trip so i’ll be looking after the order again for the next week or so in his stead.

Unfortunately this means that we have come up with a few colours that were not advised. Our numbers are pretty large for one of them so I’m hoping that some kind of compromise can be reached.



The colours that were decided on the boards are:

*Velvet Black…254 dice

Scarab Scarlet…190 dice

Orange Vortex…63 dice

Basic Black and Red pips…40 dice

*Smoke Red Translucent…50 dice



Which means all up we will be ordering 597 dice so far…

the * indicates a choice that wasn’t on the list you sent me.



As for the 'symbol of Hashut 'design. You should find a picture attached of the mock up picture we at the site made of the design we wish to use. We did it on a blank white dice for the ease of seeing the design (we used it and some others in a poll).



Sorry for the mix up about the availible colours. Hopefully something can be done.

Thank you for all of your help thus far,

Ronshank member of CDO

I attached   to the e-mail too

Oh and I have a list of people based on general  loction of those ordering the dice, what can I say I got very busy doing all this stuff yesturday :hat off

Hashut’s Blessing:

Well done with keeping on top of it all! If need be or, indeed, if possible, I;d like three of the orange too, please :wink: Makes it an even 600 dice :smiley:

Da Crusha:

if it is still possible Id like to order 10 basic black and red pips. I told a friend of mine about us getting special chaos dwarf dice and he asked if I could still get him some.

Ronshank:

Yes I’m still updating the orders list (on my comp). So far it’s not an issue but please bear in mind the possible colour issues. I check this everyday but I’m still waiting for the e-mail. Chessex should be back to us withing the week. (I didn’t want to clog up the thread more than I have already when I didn’t have much more to add)

In summary: yes keep ordering
