The visual is strong, so if this visual beats the monster description, I find it easier to just change the description!Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-55469111625832830562012-04-09T20:02:13.589-04:002012-04-09T20:02:13.589-04:00Never really thought about it, but you're righ...Never really thought about it, but you're right. Anytime the variance between mini and stats to too wild, I'll just use a plain marker. It's a lot easier to imagine that A represents the orc and D represents the dragon than that the kobold is really an orc and the worm is really a dragon.Warren Aboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671897478928823164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-88088592712609551702012-04-06T14:28:56.200-04:002012-04-06T14:28:56.200-04:00A great way to make your own "cardboard heroe...A great way to make your own "cardboard heroes" is to re-size .jps of painted minis, monster illustrations, etc. and print them, then glue stick them to folded-up cardstock or thin cardboard. Works well enough if you have a good printer. You can't pass them around or anything like that, obviously, but it's an easy way to get exactly the illustration from the book if you need counters.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-46269041821236040812012-04-06T12:00:56.434-04:002012-04-06T12:00:56.434-04:00Yes!
Playing CAR WARS, BattleTech, and Star Fleet...Yes!<br /><br />Playing CAR WARS, BattleTech, and Star Fleet Battles with each counter/figure *actually being what it says* is just so much better.<br /><br />My one beef with miniatures people is that they tend to paint more than they play... and they tend to make horrible, unbalanced scenarios when they grab whatever it is that they have around.<br /><br />Which is why Cardboard Heroes from SJG were actually a pretty good idea. Of course... that makes your fantasy setting into the Denis Loubet alternate reality-- which is just freaking awesome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
