Star Wars Legion Squad Box
Storing your minis is always one of those things every gamer thinks about. Well, it looks like we’re already seeing storage containers for Star Wars Legion, and it’s going to hold a seven-man squad.
Legion Ruler Fix
When I first tried to join my Star Wars Legion rulers the joins broke, my solution was to design this quick joint to fix the break.
Simply remove the other 2 tabs on the ruler, file flush, and use a tab of super glue to fix the new tab in place.
Having one of the 3 prongs break off of the movement templates can be pretty disheartening, especially for a game you just bought. This simple design is making it so you can quickly fix your movement template and get back in the fight.
Shadespire Game Box
With all sorts of tokens and a deck to keep track of for Shadespire players, this little box makes transportation a lot easier. The best part is, it even comes with its own lid that slides into place to keep all of the contents safely inside.
Shadespire Token Tray and Lid
For those of you Shadespire players that already have your own deck box, this is a perfect way to keep your tokens organized and easily accessible. The lid itself has spots for 1/8″x1/8″x1/16″ rectangular magnets and also spots for 1/8″ diameter x 1/8″ length cylindrical magnets in the tray to hold the lid in place.
Warhammer Combat Tool
A combat tool can be a great way to speed up your movements in Age of Sigmar, and this tool has designs for multiple different armies. With a 3″, 2″, and 1″ side you’ll be moved, set up, and on to the next unit in no time.
Chaos dice cup
Fans of Chaos rejoice! This dice cup is a great way to keep yourself from fumbling a handful of dice while attacking with your mob of infantry. Load them up in this dice cup and get to rolling.
Pro Tip: Just roll 6’s.
Warhammer 40K Terrain Dice Tower
Speaking of rolling dice, if you’re looking for a dice tower this one is perfect! It doubles as a piece of terrain, so it won’t take away from the feel of the table, and it’s perfect for you and your opponent to use in your next game.
12mm Dice Holder
Last but not least, a 12mm dice holder. Never pick up the wrong dice again, keep track of wounds and Command Points without the worry of accidentally bumping it and forgetting what number it was actually on. We’ve seen a lot of companies start making these, but why not do it from home for a lot less and no wait.
All of these files are free to download, but you do have the option to tip the designers as a way to say thank you.
