|
|||
My
personal favorite set from GenCon was the new MicroMetal dice Not only were they the only dice ... that got their own Banner they also lowered the bar ... for SMALLEST dice |
|||
|
The required (for any collector or Gen Con attendee) |
|||
If you liked the CC Toxic Dice then you may like them in MINI size |
|||
Dwarven Metals are now available painted |
|||
I liked this die so much ... I bought two One to keep deflated in the collection The other to fill with hydrogen and send off into the atmosphere (No seriously .. I gave one as a gift ... but the recipiants thought that would be really cool) |
|||
|

||
|
And

|
As promised |
|||
These
DWARVEN / HAMMER prototypes have such detail .. notice that you can see the 'wooden' background as well as the detailed grip of the hammer? |
|||
These DEADLANDS prototype could be used for any Old ... Wild West Campaign I particularly like the Cards die here |
