I think the links for the dice are in the forums.

Here is the forum link:

The dice are expensive, but are used by multiple forces.
The studio tomahawk link is pretty good, but not especially active.

The viking dice are very easy to make, by painting the 3 rune symbols on blank dice. I did a set in a 5 minutes.

The other factions are rather more complex and you need to use stickers, which can be a bit fiddly.

I'm currently making dice for a factions. Downloaded and colorized the graphics from the Saga forum and printing them on full sheet labels. I have a Silhouette Cameo, so cutting them is easy. Putting them on blank dice with indented sides

Don't they all work out so that you can just use regular D6 for any faction?

1-3
4-5
6

Yes you can use normal d6. But it is quite fiddly to remember which symbols match which numbers, and is likely to slow down the battle board stage quite a lot.

Also you have the danger of forgetting which dice are your order dice and rolling your Saga dice to determine the results of a combat!!

Sure thing Catherine, I'll post a link later when I'm home

I bought 42 white ones, your entire stock of them!

Blank dice are really cheap – em4 sell them (or will when they have restocked thanks to Khazermac!)

Just give the dice a coat of varnish.

Back when I painted up a bunch of sets of BloodBowl dice, I found a bunch of wooden dice with inset color circles at a local toy store. Because the circle is inset, the symbols I painted have held up fine without any varnish.

Here's the graphic, as promised.

The dice I used were a little more expensive as I used ones with a 1/2 inch inset for the label

I bought blank dice and round stickers on ebay. It cost me just under £12.00 GBP for the four sets of dice. It did take a while to centre the pictures on the round stickers though. More on them here :

I think I can etch these with a laser.

Make a copy of the battle boards and change the symbols to numbers with a marker.
