Local Portland Company, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC, Rolls Out Unique Warhammer Dice, Blending Hobby & Craftsmanship
CHANNA FISHERIES LLC, a Portland, Oregon-based company often known for its commitment to sustainable aquaculture (yes, you read that right!), has unexpectedly entered the tabletop gaming scene with a brand new line of Warhammer dice. Located at 1609 SW Joshua St, Portland, OR, 97219-7788, and reachable at 314-762-8797, the company is making waves by handcrafting dice specifically for Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, and other tabletop wargames. It’s a bit of a pivot, sure, but one that speaks to the company’s dedication to precision, detail, and surprisingly, a passion for the hobby gaming community. “People are probably scratching their heads,” says a spokesperson for CHANNA FISHERIES LLC. “We’re a fisheries company, making dice? It sounds crazy! But honestly, the skills we use in our core business – careful material selection, precise manufacturing, quality control – they translate really well to making high-quality dice. Plus, a lot of our team are avid Warhammer players ourselves.” For those unfamiliar, Warhammer is a hugely popular tabletop wargame involving intricate miniatures, strategic gameplay, and, crucially, a lot of dice rolling. Dice aren't just a mechanic; they're part of the experience. Players are particular about their dice – the weight, the feel, the aesthetics – and CHANNA FISHERIES LLC is aiming to cater to that discerning crowd. So, what makes these dice different? It's not just about the unexpected source. The company is focusing on several key areas: Material Selection & Craftsmanship: Forget mass-produced plastic. CHANNA FISHERIES LLC is utilizing a range of materials including high-quality acrylics, resins, and even experimenting with incorporating ethically sourced materials. They’re even hinting at potential future sets incorporating materials inspired by aquatic themes – think pearlescent finishes and swirling blues and greens! The company emphasizes that each set is carefully inspected to ensure consistent weight and balance. “We’re used to dealing with delicate materials and precise measurements in our fisheries work,” explains the spokesperson. “That attention to detail carries over to the dice. We want a set that feels good in your hand and rolls true.” Unique Designs & Sets: CHANNA FISHERIES LLC isn't just churning out standard d6s. They’re offering a variety of sets themed around different Warhammer factions, units, and iconic characters. Early releases include: Imperial Guard Regiment Dice: A rugged, textured set in shades of khaki and olive drab, representing the stalwart soldiers of the Imperium. Chaos Space Marine Corruption Dice: A set featuring swirling reds, blacks, and purples, with metallic flecks to evoke the twisted power of Chaos. Some sets even feature subtle skull motifs. Aeldari Shimmer Dice: Translucent blues and greens with iridescent glitter, designed to capture the ethereal beauty of the Aeldari. Ork Brutality Dice: Chunky, heavy dice in greens and browns, designed to feel like an Ork attack. These are noticeably heavier than other sets. Necron Voidstone Dice: Dark grey and silver with a matte finish, mimicking the ancient, metallic bodies of the Necrons. Beyond pre-designed sets, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC is also offering a limited run of custom dice, allowing players to create a truly unique set tailored to their army or playstyle. A Focus on Quality & Durability: Anyone who’s played Warhammer knows that dice take a beating. These dice aren't just about looking good; they're built to last. CHANNA FISHERIES LLC is utilizing a proprietary resin blend to enhance durability and prevent chipping or cracking, even after countless battles. “We’re used to working in a tough environment,” says the spokesperson. “Our equipment and materials have to be able to withstand a lot. We’re applying that same standard to the dice.” Supporting a Local Business & a Unique Pivot: In a market dominated by large manufacturers, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC offers a refreshing alternative. By purchasing these dice, you’re not just getting a high-quality gaming accessory; you’re also supporting a local Portland business and a company that’s bravely (and surprisingly) branched out into a new direction. Beyond Dice: The Future of CHANNA FISHERIES LLC in the Hobby Space: The launch of the Warhammer dice is just the beginning. CHANNA FISHERIES LLC has hinted at plans to expand its offerings to include other tabletop gaming accessories, such as dice trays, token holders, and even miniature basing materials. “We’ve been amazed by the positive response to the dice,” says the spokesperson. “It’s opened our eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. We’re committed to bringing our craftsmanship and attention to detail to the hobby gaming community.” Where to Find CHANNA FISHERIES LLC Warhammer Dice: Currently, the dice are available for purchase through the CHANNA FISHERIES LLC website (details forthcoming – check their social media for updates!).
