The Dice Gods
I came up with an idea that I do not have the skill to move from my mind to the board.
A dark elf army that does not worship khaine but instead worships the dice god. I havent gotten much further than picturing a cauldron of blood that instead has a giant die on it, maybe a banner with a version of the mark of the beast with 3 dice showing 6's.
Maybe a dumb idea but I think I may work on making a custom cauldron that worships dice, who knows maybe the dice god will listen and give me some good rolls.

Good idea.

Re: The Dice Gods
You can buy little beads that are shaped as dice. These are about 3mm in size (all though I can imagine there are more than just that size) and would be great for modeling this kind of thing. I like the idea.
Want some tips on controlling those frenzied units? http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?t=71791&highlight=

Re: The Dice Gods
That's a great idea, and very original. I say roll with it

Re: The Dice Gods
Good plan - anything that might tip the balance is worth a go and theming the army with a light hearted approach is cool.
You need to have a couple of chariots with a pair of small dice dangling in the front too!
The witch elves could have a small dice tattoo on their thigh, if you can paint that small. Plus dice heraldry on shields would work. Sounds like a really fun project, start a PLOG and show how you go.

Re: The Dice Gods
The more I think about this the more I want to do it. Maybe after summer I will start on it, not enough free time till then to get much started but will be planning it out. Anyone know a good way to strip painted models? Cant afford to buy all new models so if possible I would like to start from scratch with the models I already have.
Re: The Dice Gods
I like the suggestions that have been added, I may attempt to do the tats for the witches might have to have my GF do that she has a steadier hand. Think I will get a sorc model that has an extended palm up hand a put some dice beads in it.

Re: The Dice Gods
I liked the idea and so it's been in my head since the OP. Here's some of the ideas I came up with:
- Roulette discs for wheels
- Executioners modded to wield a flail with dice on them, or a 2-handed hammer with a dice as headpiece.
- Cold Ones with [img=http://m4.uxcell.com/photo_new/20090709/c/ux_a09070900ux0082_ux_c.jpg]a dice roller[/img] on their head to mark the dice-dependency to think
- Witch Elves with dice cubes braided in their hair. This could be done by making tiny dice, drilling a hole in them and then fitting a strand of hair (green stuff) through them, which can be added to their hair.
Of course, dice cubes can always be added wherever the usual dark elves would have skulls for decoration (on helmets, on staffs, etc).

You mean an Epic Flail?
