Meet the Gaming Tape measure built for the 40k tabletop with an easy-to-read black tape, white numbers, metric and imperial markings, and a snap-in 40mm faction coin!
A gaming tape measure is one of those hobby tools you only notice when it fails you. Faded numbers. Weird glare. That one buddy who swears the tape “definitely says” something it does not. Suddenly, your charge, movement, and sanity are all hanging on a strip of questionable plastic.
Baron of Dice is trying to fix that with a purpose-built 40k-style gaming tape measure that actually feels like it belongs on the tabletop, not in the junk drawer. It is readable, faction-flexible, and it comes with a slick little bonus that does more than just look pretty.
Here’s why this may be the only gaming tape measure you’ll ever need, and how to use it like a hobby veteran.
What Comes With the Gaming Tape measure
Updated on February 12th, 2026, with the latest product details.
- Built for 40k tables: black tape with white numbers for fast reads under harsh store, event, or stream lighting.
- Metric + imperial on one tape: no more “wait, are we doing inches or cm” nonsense mid-game.
- Snap-in 40mm faction coin: a magnetic slot holds a Baron’s Coin so your tape matches your army and doubles as a clean marker.
- Modular, not gimmicky: swap coins when you swap factions instead of buying a whole new tape.
- Price point: $24.99 for the coin-compatible wargaming tape measure.
This cool gaming tape measure ships with one 40mm Baron’s Coin, made from polished alloy, machine-engraved, and UV-printed in full color. That matters because your marker is going to get handled constantly. Cheap tokens wear down fast. A solid coin holds up and stays sharp.
Practical move: pick a coin design with clear iconography. Your opponent should be able to glance at it and immediately understand “that’s the objective marker” or “that’s the oath of the moment target.”
The Cool Part: Modular Baron’s Coin Compatibility
A cool feature of this gaming tape measure is a built-in magnetic slot for a 40mm Baron’s Coin. Pop your coin in, and the tape measure instantly matches your Warhammer 40k army’s theme.
Yes, it looks good, but the real win is the modular angle.
Switching factions without buying a whole new tool
If you ever bounce between armies, this is the kind of small design choice that actually matters. Instead of replacing your whole gaming tape measure, you just swap in a different coin. The way it was pitched is basically: grab a new coin for about six bucks, snap it in, and you are back in business.
Practical move: keep a couple of coins in your case. You can swap between rounds at events and never have your “wrong faction” gear sitting on the table.
Huge Selection of Tapes & Coins
These are all the same price, but come in a huge selection of colors, coins, and styles. Pretty much any faction or style you want to represent, they have it! Let’s jump into what this tape is all about.
Wargaming Tape Measure, Coin Compatible: $24.99
Snag your new dice for Warhammer 40k from Baron of Dice, and give us a high-five in support! Every qualifying purchase helps Spikey Bits keep the lights on and the fun going.
This new gaming tape measure uses a black tape with white numbers, which is exactly what you want when you are playing under convention or streaming lights, or whatever mysterious dungeon bulbs your local shop installed in the early two-thousands.
Even better, it has both imperial and metric markings, so you are covered whether your group measures in inches, centimeters, or a chaotic mix, depending on who brought what.
If one game uses inches for gameplay but others use metric, having both on one tape makes life easier across the board.
Crisp markings mean fewer re-checks and fewer “hold up, let me see that again” moments. A clean gaming tape measure does not just look nice; it keeps the game moving and keeps everyone in a better mood.
Final Take: A 40k Gaming Tape Measure That Earns Its Table Space
Baron of Dice’s new gaming tape measure nails the basics with high-visibility markings on a black tape, gives you both imperial and metric, and then adds a genuinely useful modular twist with the snap-in coin system. For games like Warhammer 40k, the coin, being a true 40mm marker, is the cherry on top, since it helps with objectives and reminders without adding extra clutter.
If you want a gaming tape measure that is practical, readable, and customizable without being gimmicky, this one actually makes sense.
