Litko paper counter stands

[ghaladen]

Just saw this item on YouTube. It's plastic stands that you can slip images on monsters in and use them as minis in your game.

This is awesome since I am completely OCD about having the right mini for the monster. And so many 4e monsters still don't have minis or even decent proxies (*ahem* gibbering orb). And a lot of 4e modules have non-monster manual foes like blackspawn and achree that will probably never get an official mini. These are great because unlike cardboard tokens they stand up right alongside your existing minis and for the budget gamers who can't afford spending hundreds of dollars a month on the rare singles from several year old sets, you can have quality minis at the table. Just buy some real player minis and use these for the monsters.

Nice... but a little pricey. Sure, they're cheaper than tons o' minis but I still think they could be a little less expensive.

Seem to be out of print from SJG though.

Neat idea, but having to assemble them on your own is a dealbreaker for me.

Ten for $3.99 doesn't seem like alot to me.
MY bad. Actualy i was looking at the 3/4 counter stands. Look for "counter stand" in the online store section.
the others can be found in the section known as " Jim's Product lab".
For the one inch size it is 10 for $12.99.

I will be buying these ASAP. Ghaladen, I noticed that you had a 1 inch grid in word to work from. How did you do that? Was it just a table. Looks like it was a perfect guide for getting the sixes right.

I made the vid in the first post. In Word 2007, under the Page Layout tab is an Align button that lets you View Gridlines and adjust the Grid Settings. Just set everything to 1" and the shapes you draw will snap to them.

Thanks for the info. I missed that the OP wasn't the maker of the video. Glad you saw the post.

The Fiery Dragon 4e BattleBox comes with 20 plastic bases (10 white, 10 black). Although originally intended for the condition tokens, they can be used to turn flat counters into stand-ups:

They are definitely very nice and I do like the clear plastic "holder", but still a little too high-end for my paper counter and paper mini needs.

If you print your own counters out on card stock, there are cheaper alternatives:
