I'm asking you to help me create a very specific product and to make it affordable: 16mm Faction Dice. Recently, a new weird war themed game came out, but it was missing something that many people wanted but could not get. In the shop I even heard stories of the trouble people went through to try to make their own dice or have them made. It got pretty crazy. It seemed like people really wanted US Army-, German-, and Soviet-themed dice with the faction symbol on the 1 and the 6 facing and the rest of the facings blank.

I thought, how hard could it be? I make a variety of products at Ironheart Artisans in various mediums, and I figured I could do it. Well, I was wrong. The equipment, materials, and manpower to do it all by myself just wasn't reasonable. To bring the price down to an affordable level I can hire a factory to do it for me. But that takes money, and a big order, and that immediately made me think of Kickstarter.

These look like they could be very cool. Will there be any other designs as DUST are still to release the alien race.

Really like the Allied dice. I think some of these could make for good standard WW2 games aswell.

Have you talked with FFG about using the word Dust in your Kickstarter?

I think there are 2 points that need clarification here:

1.This is not my personal Kickstarter. I just saw this Kickstarter on a DUST Tactics Forum and posted it here. It’s a straight Copy and Paste.
2.Nowhere on the Kickstarter Page (including the title) contains the word DUST, or any affiliation to DUST Tactics or Fantasy Flight Games.

Having said that, it’s pretty obvious that these dice are for use with the DUST games, just as all the bits makers for GW kits. I put DUST in the title of this thread because of this obvious connection. Apologies if there was any confusion, it was nto my intent.

Funded on Day one and now approaching $4k.

As to other dice, Ironheart Artisans are talking about making other faction dice (Brits, Alien, Japanese, etc) in the comments on Kickstarter.
