A little something I whipped up back at the end of March. Template can be downloaded here.
[Edit/Update August 17th 2016] I have found a place where I can get sets of twelve  16mm engraved dice for $15 for each set. You would have to color them yourself though. But this isn't too hard if you have some paint pens and some spare time.However, I can get twelve engraved and COLORED as in the above example at $20 for each set. Would there be interest from the community for either of these? I would like to order a whole bunch and distribute them to the community at cost, but before I do that, I need to see if there is enough interest here before I do a huge order for what amounts to a very sturdy gaming product, but still a vanity product since the dice that come in the game seem to hold up well to play over a year later. Please leave feedback below, and/or private message me with your email if you would like to jump in on a group order. P.S. the price of shipping to you would be exact shipping. Twelve 16mm dice aren't that big or heavy, so for a single set I imagine them to be quite cheap in a padded mailer. Again, I'm not trying to profit from this. I just want a couple dozen for myself, and since engraved dice seem to be a popular gaming accessory for gamers, I figured I would see if anyone else wanted in on the design I made above. |

I especially like for the  Swords and  Shields match the Skulls and Shields on HeroScape dice. It will make the transition that much easier. I guess I'll just have to get used to the crazy 5-points-up and 1-point-down symbol by thinking of it as another General's Icon like those on the Flag Bearer dice. |

Well, I'm up for two sets of 12 colored dice. Put me down for that.
How long do you think it will take to get them produced?
Also, since what you are offering is a community service, I'm going to go ahead and sticky this thread.

No idea as of yet. Once I get at least enough to order 6 sets of twelve dice, I'll go ahead and get the time frame estimate.

Colorcrayons I'd like to talk about the dice if you have the time.

Ok, I'll inquire about 6 sets now and I'll let you all know what the expected time frame will be.

Thanks. Still no word from the producer yet.
I really hope he gets back to me soon. Its the cheapest I can find at lower quantities.

I would love to get a set if things work out with them.

I was contacted by the producer, and he is able to take the contract for 120 dice.
The bad news is that he likely won't be able to ship until December due to the workload volume he has.
Given how long turn around time is, I'm not sure I will do another order for the community after that unless there is solid interest for these once they do show up.

Once you have them in hand I may be able to buy a set--I'm not sure how many people here have already claimed one out of the 120.

Caps, I think the order may have been for 120 dice, not 120 sets of dice.

Oh wow. I'd be really interested in this. My base set dice are really faded already.

Correct, the initial is for 120 dice total.
I would have ordered more, but the $150 for the dice, plus shipping and set up fee is significant enough to me that I didn't want to risk holding the bag on a bunch of dice that I might get stuck with if other people aren't interested in once I get them.
I'm not sure how to divide them though. Groups of ten like the game sells? Groups of 12? Or some other number?

That's a hard one to judge. While the game comes with 10 dice and they seem plenty, all these newnspells and abilities that grant and subtract from  and  muddy the waters of certainty. More people would have access to the sets if they were distributed in groups if 10, but it would be nice to have a buffer of a couple more dice per set just in case. Either way, I am still interested in 2 sets. |

Since I've bought all the sets so far, including a duplicate of the original set, I can't justify paying for more dice. While that may render my opinion moot, I think 12 in a set would be better to help avoid mixing sets of dice in situations where there a lot of them needed.

12 per set sounds right.

16mm engraved dice for $15 for each set. 
Swords and 
Shields match the 
and 
muddy the waters of certainty.
