I really like the dice that came with this boxed set. They are the first ones that feel right to me. I was curious if anyone had ideas where I could buy more dice from this boxed set.

Are yours actually balanced? All the ones weve seen/own so far arent evenly formed on each side/corner so theyre not really fair dice... Nice feel/look though. I use them as wound counters.

For getting more I would suggest eBay as the best option

Whilst we're on the subject of those dice, I've just seen images of them but love the overall look, but: What size are they exactly?

Knucklebone sized.

Around a half-3/4 inch(at work and my dice are at home)

They are bigger than the little white dice but smaller than casino dice.

Good luck finding mass produced dice which are actually nicely cut/balanced. Something you'll have to skip outside of Casino Dice.

They look bigger than 12mm but not quite as large as 16mm but that's just from seeing them and not picking them up and rolling them. I've been rocking 16mm custom Chessex dice and just make sure to have 20-30 of them on hand so I'm not pinned in by inaccurately cut dice.

Or precision backgammon dice.

Exactly. I can hear the weeping of a Guard or Ork player needing to buy dice at $11 a piece...

Just roll one model after the other.

I liked them, too, so I bought 3 extra sets from ebay for $13 including shipping---about what a set of dice would cost at the FLGS.

What did you search for them to find them even on ebay? I haven't even seen them listed.

never mind found some online today.

I like them too but after seeing this post I went and checked my dice. I quickly found one that is not balanced. About 4 out of 5 rolls are a 3,5 or 6.
