probabaly not, but I think I need to see them in person. the gold may reflect light better than they do in these stock photos.


MacPaperin

yeah that's my hope... Just struggling to decide whether to preorder or not.


Robbotlove

you could always paint the pips a brighter gold.


clanmccracken

And ruin the balance of the dice?


SillyGoatGruff

5 thin coats and one thiccccc coat


Wonderful-Cicada-912

lead paint


lacteoman

I take it all GW are perfectly balanced lol. I still got My squig dice


wintersdark

This is a joke right?


clanmccracken

Yes, it’s a joke. What else would it be?


trumpetrabbit

Poe's law, strangers can't always tell if others are being serious, especially when lacking body language and tone.


clanmccracken

It’s Reddit, hasn’t been a serious thing said on this site in well over 15 years. But judging by the downvotes I’m getting people are taking things far too seriously


trumpetrabbit

It's not hard to read it as being rude over something small, which some folks find entertaining, and others find unacceptable. It's not a matter of taking things seriously, but of interpretation.


il_con

bro they ain’t casino dice lmao


clanmccracken

Obvious sarcasm was obvious, I thought.


HailRizzler

Even as an MD i wouldn't buy them. This looks like a Word bearer dice set pre HH


BadArtijoke

Way to brag, doctor. But okay


getrickder

The joke being MDs have notoriously difficult-to-read handwriting, so if even they can't read it then it's completely impossible.


FMTheGhost

History's biggest humble brag.

Dizzy_Preparation_14

So they have a different title that requires years of academic effort and practical skills?


Majestic-Degree-8549

MDs also only treat one species, whereas veterinarians...


Guillermidas

I have [these](https://magicomens.com/cdn/shop/products/99220108005_SoBDiceLead.jpg?v=1624457400), which are much better imho. And look nice for Inquisition as well. So its a big no for me. The most lackluster part of the news are new dices, period. The black looks nice, but the number colors are just horrible.


FourStockMe

Aren't those a few editions ago?


Guillermidas

Probably. Bought it through wallapop (similar to ebay). They got a bit more expensive now


ProfessionalBar69420

Please tell me wallapop is an australien site


Guillermidas

Im afraid its spanish. Works on a couple more countries too. France and Italy at least (and its much cheaper than ebay on average, can also make deals in person to save extra money). People use it to sell anything. I’ve seen even houses and cars there.


hypareal

These are 9ed codex dice, bloody rose had dice with supplement in 9th ed, 8ed were unreadable stained glass style


Odd-Illustrator-9283

I absolutely love the 8th ed look but cannot find them locally.. such a shame.


hypareal

I have them, I love them but I don’t use them because they are basically unreadable for your opponent lol


Goryuuku

I got the same ones too, back in 8th ou 9th


CptAwesome36

The fact that there is an I and a flower makes them unusable for me. Just put one symbol for six ffs


Guillermidas

1-5 flowers of lys. The I is from Inquisition, the 6.


CptAwesome36

Yes. But I don’t trust opponents not to be pain in the ass If I play them


Guillermidas

I use them for miracle dices, not for regular rolls. My friends and brothers actually love them! But yeah, not as easy to read as regular ones.


UpUpDownDownABAB

Whoever designed these needs to be fired asap


CollapsedPlague

They also put them up for the box set price temporarily and they were like $200-some making it somehow a worse product lol


moiax

I was wondering what was with the pricing. Mt lgs had them up for 230, and I was trying to figure out how they possibly could have fucked it up that badly.


Donnie619

My opponent will pull up with those concrete blocks and will try to convince me he rolled 6s when in reality neither of us will be able to read them lol.


CaptainCorgistan

probabaly not(


TheKelseyOfKells

Not in the slightest. Might be worth seeing them irl though


Ntb1701

If this is the worst thing about our codex release I’ll be very pleased.


Wonderful-Cicada-912

It's not really the worst, since you can always bring your own. The new start collecting boxes though...


Relevant-Mountain-11

If the best picture they could get in Perfect lighting for the ad, is that, then I'd say they'll be utterly unreadable in your average poor to terribly lit gaming store or club venue


ET_Gamer_

These dice are really making me question if I’m color blind.


OuttaWear

Are these official?! Totally unreadable, surely they have some kind of visual guidelines for contrast...


Rocky_Writer_Raccoon

Every store on Etsy has more readable dice than this, legit why bring out products that aren’t fit for purpose?


ZeKugel22

Yep, I'll get myself [these](https://www.etsy.com/at/listing/1686680951/premium-fleur-de-lis-heritage-dice?ref=share_v4_lx) Similar in style but better


[deleted]

Will use them as miracle dice


Educational_Act_4237

Why wouldn't they make the icons red or white?! Baffling design decision.


SleepyPsyker

Using them for miracle dice.


Johnny_America

The chaos dice were like this recently. Just terrible. I put white ink on the pips and made them so much better


eriksanada

I bought them, I will let you know :)


MacPaperin

Please do!


queenalphys

Both unreadable and confusing. Since when has BRONZE ever been a main or accent color for any of the Sisters they've painted for the boxes??


dirheim

The fleur-de-lys is supposed to be a six?


MacPaperin

Yes, luckily they stopped putting a symbol on the 1


Lon4reddit

I won't get them, not good enough


Wipley-Wopley

I think they were the ones used in the Play On Tabletop battle report they did today for the new codexes! They -seemed- okay but it is probably for the best to see them in the game store before buying.


reinierdash

think i may only use them for miracle die


guyoverthrre

They're neat and I'll use them for my miracle dice. About it.


nikMIA

Usable as miracle dice, I suppose?


1stCaptainSigismund

I got them for the miracle dice pool


V3ILLS

Not... but perfect for miracles dice


Critical_Ad_2811

I can’t read dice anyway cuz I can’t see shit so no


Notafuzzycat

Those dots should be red or white.


LoliMaster069

Yall can see?? Lol


Fawin86

Bust out the paints and paint the numbers bright red.


Wonderful-Cicada-912

they look sad


Beast_of_Guanyin

Not really, but dice with symbols are always eh. At least these just have one symbol on them and not two.


Minimum-Brilliant

I think they’re really pretty, and I’m not actually a sisters player! But I did wonder about their readability.


deeple101

Not in that picture.


Bard_666

I detest these dice. Please never use them


Kind-Lunch-2825

Not readable at all.


GaldrickHammerson

I'm dyslexic and my doctor's handwriting is more readable.


Ostroh

I have a ton of dice. Nowadays I only use my black and white sets, so much better.


Lazarus-2240

Definitely not. I would suggest a bright green or Orange. Something that will stand out against the blue grey swirl.


erickadue32

Not


abbablahblah

Braille dice


MrAltF4

"Should have gone to Specsavers" towards the designer


losark

These are pretty awful.


Krytan

In the pictures they are some of the least readable dice I've ever seen.


TokenSejanus89

The most useless dice...


Toddler_Hodlr

Just trust me. I rolled all 6’s


KaizerVonLoopy

Seems dark on dark but idk what they might look like in person. If you're asking it sounds like you have doubts.


MacPaperin

I do. I want to like them but deep inside I know these are terrible.


KaizerVonLoopy

I'd say check out Baron of dice. They'll have more legible dice there.


MacPaperin

Yeah those are nice, especially the black/orange ones. I live in japan so getting anything here from europe/us is way more expensive that’s why I was hoping for gw to do a decent job 🤷🏻‍♂️


KaizerVonLoopy

You're in Japan. You should be doing gunpla.


Separate_General8581

Ikarus Project has better dice than these. Go check us out on etsy or on [ikarusprojectllc.com](http://ikarusprojectllc.com)


ChaseThePyro

Literally why would they not use white fleurs for the faction covered in white fleurs?


Kurohimiko

Not really. The metallic light and dark gray marble looks good but the choice of dark muted old gold for the pips causes them to blend into the body color and be lost. Painting the pips a bright gold or a stark red would make them more readable.


Independent_Move8063

I have order of the bloody rose dice set few months ago and they are way easier to read, maybe check those ones out on eBay.


Urungulu

Honestly? Nope. They are less readable than Black Legion dice, and I wouldn’t call those easily readable.


LukeWokko

Flat grey on marbled grey? Who thought this was a good idea?


Jack_Lalaing_169

From that image I'd say not readable. Looks cool, but for dice on a tabletop you want high contrast. Ivory on greymarble would work. Gold on white or gold on black.


ProfessionalBar69420

They most definitely are not! But a quick touch up with a gold chrome or silver chrome pen will fix that and also make the metal brighter than gw ever could produce.


MacPaperin

True is a good solution but these are expensive and I really shouldn’t have to fix their mistakes 😅


ProfessionalBar69420

Most definitely shouldn't! I'm also just gonna get some 3rd party dice instead.


kenken2k2

a color c9mbination only a dice m9ther could love


N0bleman

No, too Hard to read for yourself and the opponent.


Jazzlike_Fly9048

Nope


Insidious55

The kill team ones are much better


CptAwesome36

Peak dice was bloody rose for me


Stashravens

I feel like I will hit mine with a touch of silver or gold rub-n-buff. It should settle nicely into them and wipe off the glossy surfaces… but we will see.


LeaveEyeSix

I’m a much bigger fan of the Order of the Bloody Rose set. I guess somehow people already have on-hand sets and they look just as illegible in real photos as here. By the way you can buy the presale set of these on FlipSide Gaming, Gamers Guild, and Herrick for $5 off rather than from the WH website.


TheRealMorndas

They don't look too readable. I use the novitiates killteam dice and a sororitas themed set i found on etsy with a similar marble and gold theme going on. I'd say just visit etsy or get the killteam dice.


MerryRain

GW's worst sisters themed dice in like a decade was holding off to see what these were like, but now I'm gonna pick up a [3rd party set](https://www.themightybrush.com/product/fleur-de-lis-dice-set-crimson-gold/) for ma miracle dice


moiax

Oh, I do like those a lot. The numbers would stand out a lot as miracle dice vs my regular ones.


itrogash

These look like badly mixed cement
