3.T.O.W. - D12!!!

My dice arrived today and I could not be happier :-)
The face shot was the image I was most worried about and it looks really good :-D
The engraving looks like it took really well, the blue (on the 12) is a little darker than I would have liked it, but otherwise I am really happy with my purchase.

Custom d12's cont'd....

I am super excited about receiving theses dice and hope that the images will fit nicely on the d12 :-D The sales rep said they could use a larger dice if needed , but he thought the images would fit on a standard d12.
For anyone out there that is interested in making custom dice, here is some info that I found out. Most places want a very large minimum order; like 100 or so. This brings the price of making them way down, but I don't need 100 dice for like $400-500. I needed d12's and a very small order.
I came across Chessex first. When I emailed them I asked them what there minimum order was and they said 10 dice of any kind. But a custom dice costs $1 per side. So an order of ten d12's would cost $120 plus S&H!
I then came across www.customdice.com and their dice are $1 for the blank dice and $1 for each custom face you put on it (This means that even if you add the standard numbers you are still being charged $1 for it). But they are willing to do different color on each face and there is a minimum charge of $40. So i went with the 3 custom d12's for $39 + $6 for S&H (Total: $45).
I hope the dice look really good so I can recommend them to other friends who are making their own board games :-D
Here are the images (again) in the colors that I selected:

DICE ICONS

Today I placed an order for 3 custom d12's from www.CustomDice.com. The dice will have 3 custom faces on it, and I am really excited to see what the final product will look like :-D
These are the images that I drew:
This image of the soldier getting shot will replace the 1. A roll of 1 is usually followed by the player taking a wound.
This image will replace the 3. It just a cool logo of the board game :-)
This last image will replace the 12 (duh.) A roll of a 12 is pretty much a success. Perhaps I will make it a rule for the player to say "Fragged-Em" on a roll of a 12.

My good friend Gil was kind enough to scan these for me (and crop and fix). It would have probably taken me a couple of frustrating hours to do what he did in 15 minutes!

Thanx again Gil!

SNIPER!

Here's a different take on the sniper card :-)

The Action Gang Board Game

Here are Peg-O's that I made a while ago. I don't know what gil has planned yet (I think this project has been set aside for a while) but I felt the minis should be posted. Maybe some encouragement would make gil post more about it :-)

What's this? New Game? Action Figures? Or possibly a custom re-design of chess with a Mr Monkeytail's Workshop look to it :-D

Go Games Lab is looking into making a new rule to the game of chess, that can be used such as Castling, En Passant, and Promotion. We are keeping hush about this new rule until we complete the game.

But here are a few pics of some of the game pieces from Galactic Chess!

The Bishop










(Recently added: A Staff instead of the sword. More appropriate I think)

The Rook
