Badab War Dice Trays: Rolling in Style

[Pizzagrenadier]

Hey folks. I found a bunch of wood boxes at the craft store and thought they might make good dice trays. I decided to paint a few of them up to go with the chapters my friends and I are doing for the Badab War project. So far I have done Mantis Warriors, Fire Hawks, and Carcharodons. They're pretty simple to do. Details on the blog...

Hope you enjoy and find it useful!

Oops, forgot the pic html... fixed.

I'm a sucker for colour matched dice and other geeky gaming "aids" like the above.  Nicely done.  Also the glossed wood will give it some serious clatter!

Aw man... As if I didn't have enough weird side projects for my various armies and warbands...
Thanks for the inspiration, that's a great idea!

Nicely done

Awesome work!

That should really make your games pop (read: clatter ).

I'm with Elbows in his holistic approach to gaming; matching dice, dice tray, cards, templates, stationary, website, phone cover, curtains, lighting; the works.   So I think your beautiful trays would be a great addition to every gaming table!

Nice idea and beautiful implementation.

They also can work as setup trays; I was going to do some larger ones for the store with our logo, but my list of only-started projects is long and honorable.

Why most of my games are played with things supplied by others. 

I was going to go with printed pictures sealed to the wood, but yours are smashing!

Well done!

By the way, on the chance these are a little too 'bouncy' and dice tend to fling themselves out, a bit of color-coordinated felt along the inside walls might help.

Thanks everyone!

They are very loud, which I found is the only drawback. I'm thinking of putting felt on the bottom underside to cushion the sound a little. Still, the sound isn't unpleasant

Here is a tutorial to make really nice ones that a friend of mine made. They're a little more time consuming but they turn out really nicely!

I'm thinking of making a set like his using printed out images. That way I don't have to hand paint them.
