Local Portland Company, CHANNA FISHERIES LLC, Rolls Out Unique Warhammer Dice, Blending Hobby & Craftsmanship

CHANNA FISHERIES LLC, a Portland, Oregon-based company typically known for sustainable aquaculture, has surprised the gaming community with the launch of their new line of handcrafted Warhammer dice. Located at 1609 SW Joshua St, Portland, OR, 97219-7788, and reachable at 314-762-8797, CHANNA FISHERIES is making a bit of a pivot – but one that showcases surprising skill and dedication to detail. You might be asking, “Wait, fish farming and Warhammer dice? What’s the connection?” According to company founder, Sarah Chen, it's all about precision and a passion for small-batch, quality craftsmanship. “We’ve always been a company focused on meticulous work – raising fish requires intense attention to detail, consistent monitoring, and a commitment to nurturing growth,” Chen explains. “Turns out those skills translate surprisingly well to crafting high-quality dice! It started as a personal hobby, a way to unwind, and quickly blossomed into something our team was really passionate about.” CHANNA FISHERIES isn’t just slapping logos on mass-produced dice. These are fully handcrafted, using a range of materials and techniques that set them apart from the usual plastic cubes you find in game stores. They’re not just making dice; they’re crafting them. What Makes CHANNA FISHERIES Warhammer Dice Different? The initial line focuses on a few key features that are already generating buzz in the Warhammer and tabletop gaming communities: Resin Variety: CHANNA FISHERIES isn’t sticking to standard resin. They're experimenting with different resin blends, including glow-in-the-dark options, metallic flakes, and even incorporating natural elements like crushed stone and pigments – a nod to their aquaculture roots, playfully dubbed “Ocean’s Echo” sets. “We wanted to create dice that feel different, that have a weight and texture that enhances the gaming experience,” Chen says. “It's about more than just rolling numbers; it's about the tactile enjoyment.” Unique Designs: Forget standard pips. These dice feature custom-designed pips, inspired by Warhammer lore and aesthetics. Expect intricate detailing, stylized numerals, and even miniature sculpted elements embedded within the resin. Current sets include themes like: Imperial Guard: Rugged, military-themed dice in earthy tones. Chaos Gods: Swirling, chaotic designs with vibrant, unsettling colors. Aeldari (Eldar): Graceful, flowing designs incorporating shimmering materials. Ork: Rough, chunky dice with aggressive angles and bright green hues. Hand-Polished Finish: Each die is individually hand-polished to a brilliant shine. This isn’t a mass-produced, automated process. It’s a labor of love that results in a premium feel and exceptional clarity. "We spend hours on the finishing alone," Chen admits. "But that's what it takes to get that perfect sparkle and ensure the numbers are easy to read." Balanced for Gameplay: CHANNA FISHERIES understands that beautiful dice are useless if they aren’t fair. They’ve invested in precision molds and rigorous testing to ensure their dice are properly balanced for consistent rolls. “We’re gamers ourselves, so we know how frustrating it is to have unbalanced dice,” Chen explains. “We’ve taken steps to make sure ours are fair and reliable.” Limited Edition Sets: To maintain exclusivity and foster a sense of collectibility, CHANNA FISHERIES is releasing their dice in limited edition sets. Each set is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. "We want these dice to be something special, something that people will treasure," says Chen. "The limited editions help us achieve that." From Aquaculture to Artisan Dice: A Natural Progression? The leap from raising fish to crafting dice might seem unusual, but CHANNA FISHERIES believes the two are more connected than you might think. Both require patience, precision, and a dedication to quality. The company's existing infrastructure – including a dedicated workshop space and a team skilled in meticulous work – proved to be a natural fit for dice making. “We’ve always been problem-solvers,” Chen says. “Aquaculture presents all sorts of challenges – maintaining water quality, managing fish health, optimizing growth rates. Those skills translate surprisingly well to the intricacies of resin casting, mold making, and polishing.” Furthermore, CHANNA FISHERIES is committed to sustainable practices. They source their resin responsibly and minimize waste whenever possible. They're even exploring the possibility of incorporating recycled materials into their dice.
