This may have been asked but I did a search and was slammed with 100's of hits, none of which had anything to do with this.

Does anyone make, or know someone who does, dice with Battletech Faction logo's on them so they can be used while playing Battletech?

And then, does make, or know someone who makes, Battletech Faction logos in sticker form to be placed on car windows, or computer cases, etc.?

Again, a quick, admittedly half-hearted search, showed nothing. Goggle showed some things but it was really bad stuff and had very little in the way of factions. Any help would be appreciated!

For the dice, there's some people that twittered them in #myBTStuff for the Battletech Kickstarter.
You could ask them directly how or where they got them.

Doubt there's anyone doing stickers for Battletech though. What you could do is to prepare the picture you want on the sticker, then look up a company that creates custom stickers. Works with T-Shirts and the like, so why shouldn't it with other things ;)

I knew a fellow that actually produced his own faction dice and sld them for the cost it took to produce them, up until about 6 months or so ago. He had two versions, ABS plastic molded dice and metal composite dice. Since then operations have ceased as CGL wanted a run done exclusively for a recent con. I'm not sure or not but his dice may become an official product at some point because of this.
I hope this helps! ^_^

There where origibal dice manufacture back in the late 80's to 90's you can find on Ebay once in a while then there was the dark age factions which started turning into the houses that had dice produced also. I still hav my set of GB dice.

What Factions insignia are you looking for? If you are looking for Wolfs Dragoons, which is what I see on your Sig, then I have good news for you. I happen to own a couple pair of Wolfs Dragoons six-siders for tabletop. Since I am a Clan Blood Spirit until death, I would be willing to let you have them. Otherwise, I can help you find dice should I not have what you wish.

I have been playing Battetech since it came out in 1982 and continue to do so. So I am always happy to help a fellow gamergeek when I can. Send me a PM and let me know what you think.

Best Regards,

I have a pair of Ghost Bear d6's that I got in about '95.
They were a gift from my brother, he had gotten a whole set of faction dice and handed everyone a pair.
I think it was just a tube of dice, and he paid $20 for it. But again, that was back in '95, when Fasa was still trying to sell stuff.
No one is doing that now, so the only way to get them now would be trying to acquire old stock (ebay) or custom making them.

Fighting Pirannha makes a variety of decals for Battletech minins (and other games).

Not sure where to get the faction dice now.

ebay generally is the best place for dice, for car stickers, amazon has a combine sticker, I think, other that you'll probably need to make it yourself. My local mall has an isle kiosk that cuts stickers, might see if a nearby mall has one that does custom work

As for faction dice, try this Link: http://www.yodasdata...p?cPath=678_889
It's a German site and I think the prices are ok. Only has the IS houses on offer though, 2 normal sized dice with faction logo along with 4 smaller dice of the same coloring, e.g. to use to mark movement or to-hit modifiers, for less than € 6.-
Also has decals on offer as well as fabric patches (Aufnäher), no stickers for your car though.
