Miniature Tip: Cheap 1″ Bases

04/04/2022

I buy and print a lot of miniatures. Sometimes you get a “medium” sized miniature that doesn’t come with a 1″ base. It might have an integral base that is an odd shape and gets knocked over easily. What can you do?

I buy these 1″ Counting Tokens!

You get 1000 of them for under $25!

They can be glued to the miniature using super glue or E6000. They can be primed and painted. After I am done painting my miniatures, I always put a Matte clear coat on them to protect the paint so there are no chips.

I have a 3D printer and I still use these counters instead of printing bases.

Keep on gaming!
