Steepled Hat Studios: We want to print a number of very unique d6 dice that are gruesome looking as well as have a board game / comic book feel to them. These are dice covered in blood, eyes, brains, hearts, feet, hands, and even a severed head. Each image will be printed on the side of the dice where the six lies. Check the full Kickstarter here
Each dice cube will have artistic cartoon body parts, blood, and dots printed on each side. We plan to commission the use of a large scale UV-printer to clearly imprint the images on each side. UV technology allows us to print the dice out with accuracy and clarity. The images printed with UV are the highest weather(fade and water)resistant method we could make use of and the high quality ink dries quickly which should allow us to make and fulfil pledge rewards relatively swiftly.
We designed the dice images on 16mm sides but simply printing an image on each side was not enough. We created the printing images on each dice face to slightly exceed 16mm so that when we print the blood splatter image at the edge of each side, the image extends past the side's edge slightly and on to the side next to it. This blends in with the blood pattern image on the side next to it and gives an effect that the blood is connected and "flows" from one side to the next. This looks more realistic compared to having single pools of unconnected blood on each side.
Of course, we're also offering our 25/28mm Desert Empire Guard Tower for a great deal in this Kickstarter to further help fund the dice. I think for wargamers that this deal is nice since it is only $55.00 CAD and includes Free shipping worldwide!
