8th ed Herdstone dice, a new book deserves new dice

So I was thinking. Yes, sometimes I do, it takes a lot of concentration and my brain starts hurting after a few seconds, but I took the pain like beast and thought anyway.

If the rumors are to be believed we'll get some new models and a new (and better) army book in February. Some of you got some nice dice last year and quite a few of you did not.



As I said I've done some thinking and I reckon we need some new dice to celebrate the coming of the (8th ed) beasts.

Any thoughts on this?
Are you guys happy with your dice?
Do you want more dice?
Do you want a different design?
Do you want different dice?

Norway might not be the best place to distribute the dice from, but if there are nobody else willing to do the dirty job I might be persuaded to do it again.

Discuss!

We'll have to see what we get, but I think having different dice for different marks would be cool. Maybe a brown set for undivided. I dunno, I was just a reader when you gave them out last time.

Honestly I'm one of those people that holds more in his dice than just statistics. and after playing my first few games with my VC designated Black/smoke dice and being uncomfortable with it I believe it would be nice to get some BoC designated dice. Honestly I love the look of those dice that you linked in and would totally go for something along those lines although I would probably be more interested in a Scorched Earth type of Brown.

Anyways that was probably more info than I needed to throw out there so I'll just continue to say some new dice sound great

This would probably be good to take up in a few months, when the new book is upon us, and we've got a good number of new members. Seems a bit evil to get them done just before the new member surge.

I know, but if we want a new design and some different kinds of dice it will take some time. I just thought we ought to be prepared and have a design and dice ready for when we get invaded by beast wannabies.

I may order a second batch based on the book - 20 just seems like a small number now for when we get our ubber attack unit.

Yea I would order something like 20 in 2 colors and retire my older dice. Probably Blue and Mint colored.

I'd probably get in this time too (if I don't forget again )
I like the current colours and designs, I'd go for blue probably.
The beast head is nice, but maybe it could be a bit less "round / stylized" to make it look more "realistic". I don't know if it's possible or easy to accomplish, or if there are others who agree, but if not, the current design is fine by me

I'd go for a slightly different design too, but I would definitely be interested in getting more dice.

I think that would be a very nice idea!

Maybe it would be handy to have somebody oversea (by our European perspective) to distribute them, otherwise I can't see any problem with Norway.

Anyway, if these thing runs I'm in.

I think that the UK would be the best bet for organising it. The Royal Mail is fast, reliable and fairly cheap it seems. Also the cost of sending the first package would be more economical, as it would be the most expensive part (heaviest package) of the trip.

I only know 2 things for sure, the Finnish post is **** expensive and the Italian mail service cannot be trusted.

I think this a great idea. my current dice seem cursed, so some herdstone blessed dice would be very welcome.

I got it last time around and are so pleased I donīt need more. Plus, I just got my Khorne dice on the mail today so if I order more dice I donīt think I can pay the rent next year.

If push comes to shove i'll do the posting as i'm UK based

I was just a lurker, when the first batches of dice were going around but id love to have some beastmen specifics, the current design is pretty cool, i'd be up for getting some if this came to fruition.
