I'm thinking about making my own set, hand carved or some type of synthetic casting. Obviously I don't intend to make them this amazing or elegant. I'd like to create affordable ones that are unique. Was thinking maybe roman legion theme. Definitely a dog theme one (Rottweilers as rooks, GSD as knights, pug pawns and a boxer king and queen) If I had skill I'd like to do super detailed versions.
