We have everything Except white Sinful Hero but the pic looks more grey to me, which we do have!

Quoting over the big announcements to the new page:

We are happy to announce something people have been asking for since we first unveiled the product at AdeptiCon last year - custom token sets!

Beasts of War has released an article just minutes ago describing the service:
http://www.beastsofwar.com/modcube/modcube-launches-custom-game-cube-option/

And Talisman Island has a great writeup of the process, as they were our very first custom set!
http://www.talismanisland.com/?page_id=6270




Full instructions are on our own page here:
https://modcube.myshopify.com/pages/custom-sets

For folks who have been asking us for sets for games that aren't on offer yet, this is a great chance to get exactly what you want . Once you download all the files you want following the instructions at the link above, putting the first piece of art into place on the grid takes just seconds:



You can then just copy it over into however many grid spaces you want, then move to the next design! After you're finished, send it to us and we'll have your custom set cut and shipped within 1 week or will toss in a free cube per set to make up for it!

We think this adds a ton of utility to the product, so if you haven't voted in the Beasts of War poll for us yet, please take a second and vote at the link below if you love our stuff

http://www.beastsofwar.com/awards-2015/final-voting/

Cheers!

Very cool. Definitely brainstorming up some ideas for tokens.

Voted as well. Strangely, mostly just for ModCubes... I hardly even recognized the majority of stuff in the other categories.

Thanks guys, we really appreciate it

We've also been trying to decide if running a promotion for people who post that they've gone and voted (not necessarily for us!) would be kosher. Something like "Post that you've voted either here, on Facebook, or in the main BoW thread, and you'll be entered for a drawing of a free set of ModCubes and tokens of your choice shipped anywhere in the world (two winners will be chosen after voting ends)!"

What do you think? Anyone who already posted would be eligible too, of course, but just want to make sure it wouldn't cross any lines. If it seems like it would, we would instead run a contest for people who post here or on Facebook later (early February), unrelated to whether they've voted or not. Thoughts appreciated!

I went and voted, even on the off chance you do decide to run a contest.

Some of the categories/choices seemed a bit off to me, but <shrug> Going to be the case for things like this.

Thanks Nevelon! I think it will be fine as long as we note (as we will!) that folks don't have to vote for us, just post that they've gone and voted in the poll . I've run it by someone at BoW to check and make sure!

If it works out we'll be announcing it officially on Monday, and would count any folks posting that they've voted before then too, of course!

Voting link is in my sig now for ease of access, too

I wouldn't run that promotion. It will pretty quickly turn into "X% off for everyone who lies, nothing for those who tell the truth!" Better have a "We placed ____ in the best gaming accessory contest! X% off celebration!" sort of deal, where you get to advertise your placement (assuming it is not last ) and so encourage people to buy in with that accolade.

Yeah you are probably right! I'd rather stay far away from any grey area so we'll likely run it after things end . Thanks for the perspective, Wehrkind!

You could run it after the awards, win or loose, to celebrate the nomination

Hollywood actors (and the media) always count the number of nominations they have even if they don't win as it shows there at the top of their game

and that would avoid any potential misinterpretations

Is that due to THAT OTHER PROJECT , it needs companion pieces, but I suggest them not being interchangeable , there's laws against that. You'll get sleep in a few years, then you'll need to bank them for when they become preteens

Yep and making some custom sets, getting retail packaging ready, etc! Plus something secret in the works that we'll hopefully reveal more on later in the year

Post Snowzilla update below

We are all dug out after Snowzilla - one of the first things to rescue was our blower (exhaust for the laser cutter) which we dug a path to through the white madness (note the barely visible bench below!).



This enabled us to get back to laser cutting yesterday, and all the orders from last week went in the mail today! It has been really encouraging to see repeat names from Kickstarter backers placing orders =) so thanks so much guys!!

This is also the last chance to vote for us in the Beasts of War poll for Best Wargaming Accessory of 2015! It takes just a few minutes, and you can skip the other categories if you like =). Link is below!

http://www.beastsofwar.com/awards-2015/final-voting/



If you loved our product, we'd be eternally grateful for your vote =)

Also, there are a few things to look forward to coming up for the ModCube - we'll be cutting a ton of sets to bring with us to AdeptiCon, releasing a new set next month, and are talking to a few companies about making custom sets for them! So stay tuned!

A ton of thanks to you Dakkanauts who have already voted for us it is a huge help!

If you've bought some a vote for them is obvious. If you haven't bought any... Wait, what the hell? Go buy at least one set! These things are fantastic!

That's actually a great idea, Alph . We're good friends with the folks at Doublesix, and they've got a huge page on their site where they gathered quotes from happy backers (and now new customers, they went live just before we did!).

I'll put adding a Testimonials page to the site on "the list"

Ooh, I like that

And while I don't have a cat, I'm sure that one is too true! So many pieces on the table... to knock onto the floor

We'll be showing off at least one new custom set on Monday, so stay tuned!

Borrow a cat, put catnip in the MODcube, take a video, post it to YouTube, millions of likes will follow.

Plus you need a mascot (child does not count ), call home Cubert not to be confused with Qbert.

Guerrilla Miniature Games has posted an awesome Battle Report featuring the ModCube! He shows them off just after 4 minutes in and you can see how useful they are throughout the game, a really nice bat rep




We've also gotten a review in from the Man Battle Stations blog (run by Dakka's own Ruckdog!) which shows how he made his custom set for Dystopian Wars - and actually inspired us to offer our custom service! A very fun, quick read:
http://www.manbattlestations.com/blog/2016/01/22/modcube-product-review/

Finally, we had the honor of a backer making their inaugural podcast featuring the ModCube - so awesome! It's called Exploding 6s, you can check it out here:
https://soundcloud.com/chris-richardson-39/exploding-6s-001

Lastly, the Beasts of War voting is still open! Link is conveniently in my sig below

I have two cats that would fit the bill... one already has a background singing role in one of my videos.
