Plasma Torpedo incoming! If your starship shoots a plasma torpedo, plasma balls or any other exploding ball of destruction, Plasma Dice can help you identify where that danger is sitting on the table plus it will show you exactly how powerful it is. Unlike Missile and Fighter Dice, the Plasma Dice may have a single image on each side, but size of the boom or the number in the middle will tell you all you need to know about it's destructive capability. The initial test run of the Plasma Dice had an issue with the font not translating well to the final engraving, but the production versions will have that fixed and a second plasma design was added plus a photon torpedo version will show a spread of torpedoes with multiple pips on a side (or you can use them to show the number of impacts on a ship too). |

Painting the Pips When the black 16mm d6 is engraved by a laser, the engraved portion is a lighter gray on the black background. The image engraved or the 'pip' can be filled with paint to make it much more visible and to make each die unique like Red Squadron, Blue Squadron, etc.
Unpainted dice - $2 each
Painted Pips - $2.50 each
Custom Painting - $3.00 each If you want something more that a single color paint on a die, you can make them Custom. This covers more than one color per die, a color not currently available or any other similar special requests. Make sure you describe the special request in the comments section of the order such as what color you want on each specific side or a request for a new color for the pips.
Dice Sleeves - $0.25 for 6 As the pips are more colorful, the sides of the dice not facing up may be distracting when you only want to view the top of the dice. Dice sleeves will cover those sides and can be easily slipped on or off as you change the side showing on top. The sleeves are just black paper pre-cut so all you have to do is fold them around a die and tape or glue it to keep it's shape. Sure you can do this with your own paper, but if you want to save that effort, you can get the pre-cut sleeves and all you have to do is assemble them.
How the pips are painted on the dice I use craft paint pens which are available and better craft and hobby stores. The water based paint pens work well for most colors but for the orange, yellow, and blue pips, the more expensive oil-based paint pens give much better coverage.
The process I use to paint the pips I took from this video and it works well for me.

Update: After painting the pips on a whole lot of dice, I am now
using just the extra fine tip oil based paint pens. The cost a bit more
but the extra control to just paint the recessed pip and not a lot of the flat
area around it makes the cleanup of the dice (rubbing it on paper) much quicker
and easier with less waste. Also buffing the side on a used drier sheet really does clean up that last bit of paint on the side that is hard to get off. |
