I was at my local hobby store on Saturday and a guy I met named Tom had this Imperial Guard Dice cup he was selling. I could not resist & now it I have it. It's custom, handmade & all leather, I am really happy I got it.

Thats pretty damned cool.

My mate Thom makes stuff as well, but he's a blacksmith. I have a Knife and a Spoon from him so far.

Thats pretty sick.

Very cool, pass along the good job to your friend =) How much did he charge you for it?

$25 was what I paid.

That's nice, I really wish GW/BL/warpstone artifacts would start making merchandice again...I always wanted a mug...and a t-shirt...and a keyring, and pretty much everything else.

Um, I really wanted a t-shirt. I have to wait for games day this year until or if I get a chance to go.

That's pretty cool and well worth the 25 bones he was asking. That thing will probably last you decades with some basic maintenance.

Sweet can you post them?

That's great craftsmanship.
So how long until the C&D letter gets issued?

Wow,that's pretty nice.Damn now I want guard related items to,LOL!

Nice purchase; if these replies are any indication if that guy who made the cup sold these on a website somewhere I'm sure he could get some $$$

That looks strangely similar to the stuff that these guys do...even the custom font and design....

I just use a stubby holder for my dice cup.
(they're a cup shaped thingy made from neoprene meant for keeping your beer cool).

That way it's either keeping my beer cool, or being used to roll dice and is multi functional.

Nice leatherwork though. Reminds me of something I made in school.

Well dice cups are one of the projects in one of the basic leathercraft books by Tandy leather, I think you can even get kits...

That is cool. Although I would need a bigger one since I only use vegas dice and my hands are only big enough to roll 10 at a time. So when I shoot a fully merged 50 man squad with orders. Ppl get anoyed when they realize I will have to roll 15 times.
