Privateer & Q-Workshop Team Up For Faction Dice Sets
March 14, 2013 by brennon
Privateer Press and Q-Workshop have teamed up to bring you a selection of faction specific dice for Warmachine. Check them out below and see what you think of this gaming accessory...
Q-Workshop do some amazing work with their custom dice and I have bought some from them before, and wasn't disappointed. The one problem I do see when you get custom dice is that the numbers might be too hard to read, but in this case it looks like its clear and easy to use.
I'm very much liking the Mercenary and Khador dice set but I'm sure you all have a set you can't wait to pick up.
What do you think?
Those Khador dice look very tempting indeed…
Other than the menoth ones I think they’re a bit busy for my tastes, always nice to have options though.
I think these are nice dice, but being dyslexic would cause me huge issues identifying the numbers, as Moriarty says, a bit to busy.
I could see how others would really like them though and I think the Cryx and Cygnar are the best of the bunch. 🙂
I think they are bad dice. Cute, but kinda unreadable imho.
At the last gencon, WoTC was giving out this set of “drow-themed” dice (though I still couldn’t tell you what makes them drow and not something else sinister).

I can see them just fine and I’m legally blind in one eye and even though everything I see in that eye is blurry as all hell I can see most of the numbers except the red dices 5
where’s the cyriss set? they have the patch for them on the shop, so why no dice?
These dice are molded with the designs sunk into their faces. That means there is custom tooling involved. It probably took months for the designs to go from concept sketches to approved design to actual tooling. It’s very likely that Q-Workshop found out about the new faction the same day we all did so there’s no way they would have Cyriss product ready by now. Maybe they’ll have them when they release the Hordes sets.
