Starfighter Dice are now available for pre-order – dice.star-ranger.com
Pre-orders will be taken through June 25th.

More than just a d6, Starfighter Dice are also counters on the gaming table for fighters, missiles and more.

In many space games, fighters and missiles on the game table are represented by counters or miniatures and sometimes a regular d6. Starfighter Dice takes the d6 a step further by replacing the normal round pips with outlines of missiles or fighters, making the die more identifiable and interesting on the table.

These dice are not intended to fully replace stands of small fighter miniatures. They are an alternative for large games with lots of fighters, when you don't have the right miniatures, or if you just want something different.
Starfighter Dice start as a blank 16m black cube and the pips are laser engraved on all 6 sides.
Don't forget, Starfighter Dice can still be rolled like any other d6 to generate a random result.

Got to dice.star-ranger.com for images of the dice, how to order them and all the options you have for different shaped pips for fighters, missiles and plasma weapons.

This is genius.

Very cool.

Very nice! I have been thinking of getting involved in space gaming and now I think this is going kick me over to do it, plus those are some really cool dice!

I was just thinking with such a large selection to pick from, which is totally great but with just the fighter dice alone could be one heck of a fighter dog fight just using the dice.

Okay I will not be able to join in on this early ordering, and will have to wait for another opportunity later.

Sounds as if Dean's planning on having them available after fulfilling pre-order, though price might go up, so small loss.

While I'll pick up some fighters, I think I'm more excited about the missiles, especially for SML's in Full Thrust. Counter AND randomizer. ;->=

Any one know if these can still be ordered?

Just to do a small plug, talking of fighters, our second Stars Reach KS funded and production is underway. After we fill the KS backers we will add the new models to the line up at Achesoncreations.com bringing the total count to 30 models, including civilian tankers and freighters. These will include 3 different faction, very small fighter types, 6 to a pack for those of you that might be looking for some small spaceship fighters:) Just scroll down to the Stars Reach tab. Happy gaming all!

I think Dean said he had some left; sorry, don't have contact info.

The page linked to in the original post says to use dice at star-ranger dot com as a contact for orders.

There may be some other contact info on the old Starship Combat News pages?

Opps, missed this thread, I'm still here and I still have some stock available, contact me at that email address, dice @ star-ranger dot com and let me know what you are looking for.

Thanks, Dean.

I've decided my purchase was 'unbalanced', and may have to buy some more. ;->=
