Hello once again! A while back I did a review on my blog about a nifty little product called ModCube. Towards the end of that review, I described how I made a custom set for Dystopian Wars. However, while playing BFG at Adepticon, it occurred to me that a set of ModCubes for BFG would generally be a Good Thing, since the special order dice the game uses have been unavailable for years at this point. So, once I got back I started working on a custom set of BFG ModCubes using the tools provided on the ModCube website. Here is how they came out!
Special Order Dice
These are the heart of my BFG ModCube set. The original dice were designed for a different game, and adapted to BFG. As a result, the symbols on the old GW dice only loosely made sense to their in-game function. That is something I sought to correct with my ModCube set. Here is my take, with updated symbols that I felt made more sense:

Here are my revised Special Order dice compared to the original GW ones.
There are enough tokens in the set to make 8 of these dice. Even so, there was a lot of additional space left on the sheet, so I came up with some other token that I thought would be helpful:

Here is a ModCube configured as a Scatter Die, with two hits and 4 arrows.
Status Tokens
Ships in BFG can be in one of three major states: Crippled, Burning Hulk, and Hulk. I made tokens in indicate each one:

I have also made a number of tokens to show Critical Hit results:

I found it was convienient to group these critical effects into a cube with the ship status tokens. There are enough of these tokens to make 3-4 “status cubes†if you like, or you can just use the tokens by themselves. Here is how it looks in a cube:

Overall, I’m very happy with how these came out, and I think they will be very handy on the gaming table. If you are interested, the folks over at ModCube will be happy to produce a set for you as well!
