[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 9407102, member: 85870"] One alternative I tried once with decent success was to create color printouts of monster pictures in 1-inch circles on a page, then use a 1-inch circle craft punch to carefully punch them out. Once punched out, get a bottle of clear craft glue finish and then glue the circular prints face up to the bottom of a 1-inch / 25mm rounded half dome glass marble beads / tiles / "cabochons". When finished, the clear glue lets you see the top of the printout through the glass. My wife helped me try doing this several years ago, and the results were decent. The trick is to get the cutout to be as precise as possible. If you want to represent larger sized monsters, increase the size of the printout circle to 2 inch / 50mm, though these are much more expensive than the smaller 1 inch / 25mm tiles. I absolutely LOVED using these for large "minion" fights, where I could easily scatter 10-12 orcs or kobolds across the battle mat, and have them still be easily recognizable. [/QUOTE]
