Hello, all.

Being new to the game as I am, I'm becoming familiar enough with my army that I can just look at a model and tell what it is and what it has. But, what happens if someone borrows my army? What if I'm away from the game for a long time? What if I need to put together some quick units, but can't remember point values?

Well, just so I could keep things straight and not burn my brain out, I came up with the idea of cutting circles out of index cards and affixing them to the bases with Elmer's glue. What do you think?

I definately like it. I started just painting the "band" of my fire warrior bases in stand out colors for 2 reasons. (I used day glow nail polish my wife was throwing away) The first reason was the uniform color scheme blended in w/most terrain. Both me & my opponents would actually overlook them. (ask Werkind) The other reason was to keep them organized in each squad. I wish I had thought of your idea a long time ago. I think I'll be using it on my Wolves I'm finally making an effort in starting.

Good idea. Recommend you research a couple of sizes of mailing labels and then take the time to create an Excel or Word Template to print them out. It would be neater, save tons of time, and allow you to make changes pretty easily.

Cool. If I were you, I'd make them small enough that you could glue them into the bases of the models so you could just flip them upside down and see the stuff. Assuming you're not already nickeling them, of course...

Well, some of the models have those horizontal bars that go into the bases, so the cardstock circles won't always go inside.
