Might as well get the pics added...

Looks like Hordes dice don't hit until May... I clicked the link but didn't even see these pics, there are no pics of the Hordes dice right?

They look nice, I wants em!

I'm not much a fan of numerals on D6s but they look nice. I wish there were variants with pips.

'I may just get one set,' the collector in me says...

I don't like em... Small numbers surrounded by stuff will make them a pain in the butt to read from across the table. The Ret ones look especially bad.

I agree that some of them look a bit busy for practical purposes, but they're still handsome. Luckily the Protectorate dice look pretty darn clean, and are pretty high contrast in the color scheme. So I'll be picking up a set as soon as I can.

Same here. With all the other dice I have I doubt Ill use them, but as a simple collector item Ill get some...unless they are crazy expensive.

Depends on the price for me.

I like the Merc ones, but id want 2-3 sets to use them.

Im also glad they have 1 stand alone die to roll with them for Damage Grid rolls + Damage rolls at once to save time.

I'd buy a batch of the Cygnar ones if the price is good!

I'm going to get a Cygnar and a Cryx set... and a Legion one when they come out... What!? No Cyriss dice set?

Cyriss needs to have a set of dice that can be buildt together into one large die (for those important rolls).

Like Voltron Dice? That would be kinda epic

So just for funzies I jumped on Q-Workshops website to see how much their dice usually are. For a set of 6 x D6 it runs 15 Euro so about $20.

Not sure what PP will set the pricing at but it gives me a pretty good idea.

Hopefully it won't be $20 for 6 dice. That's over $3/die.... and no matter how cool they look, they're still just hunks of cool looking plastic. I'd probably pay about $10 for 6, but any more than that....? Eh.

I think that they look alright, and if the price is right I may get some Khador and Circle dice at some point.


...maybe grab some extra sets in case these go off the market like the GF9 ones? Hmmm.

The consensus of most of the players around here is that they're too hard to read... doesn't mean I'll be able to resist picking up a Trollbloods set, though

Those are going to hurt the eyes to read.

Definitely not gonna stop me from getting the Mercs, Minions, Cryx, Menoth, and most likely Legion(though I have the old GF9 Legion set) sets.

Also, if they look like the pictures, I can read them just fine. My opponents will just have to take my word for it.

Too busy for real usage. I prefer Pips. Probably going to cost an arm and a leg.

Otherwise they look kind of cool. I'd use them for playing RPGs. But I don't see myself trying to play an actual game with them.

For tabletops games I like single color dice with contrasting pips that are easy to read from across the table.

Looks like they are now up on the TheWarStore for pre-order at $14.99

Note that MSRP seems to be $18/set.

...much as I like these, $3/die is too expensive for me. I'll pass and keep using my cheap dice. I think that an MSRP of $12.99 would have been acceptable, but as it stands, no thanks.

I'm not a huge fan of paying MSRP for anything. I can justify under $15 for a set of cool dice but I wouldn't go any higher than that. So my plan is to wait till discountgamesinc.com has them and add them to a $35 order so I get free shipping....
