So, Long story Short, I make Metal Dry Erase Gaming accessories from Necromunda Ganger Cards to Kill Team Tokens to DnD Dry erase maps. I use Dye Sublimation to print onto Aluminium plate in a variety of sizes. The biggest plus point of that printing process is that the resulting items are scratch resistant, waterproof and work very well with dry erase markers allowing the cards to be filled in and updated during a game, then wiped clean afterwards for the next game, The following is a couple of examples of printed items as well as some pictures provided by a happy customer who wanted a custom order printed



















Please forgive the photography and check out out Facebook page and website for updates on upcoming projects including incoming blank dry erase tactics cards!

Always thought this was a good idea!

It occurred to me it might be a good idea to ad a link to my website....

Now this is very interesting! I've been looking at tokens and most come in a thick plastic from 3rd parties so metal sounds very neat and, as you say, durable.

A few questions:
1) Have you a gallery of designs that you're working with (as I assume designs start in the computer). It would be good to see even if you've not yet cast them into metal, for things like Necromunda and other lines. That way one can see a far wider display of product (and as its cast up you can take photos to show off).
Esp as right now, for example, you've got only tokens shown for one product line yet I assume you're able to do them for all

2) Any chance of some comparison photos next to models, esp for things like tokens, to give an idea how big they are on the table when in play.

3) How thick are they and how easy to pick up? The tokens its hard to see (as its an above photo) and the only thing that might concern me is if they are very flat and thus a pain to pick up (esp if one has just cut their nails).

Thank you for the interest.

1. the best place to take a look at all the things I've been working on would probably be my Facebook page (Link in my signature) the Gallery on there has images for everything I've worked on as well as teasers for things that will be coming up

2. No problem at all, both of these are against models on a 32mm base (The Deathwatch marine is on a printed metal name base for Kill Team) he tokens themselves are on 25mm discs



3. Most of the metal I work with (With the exception of the A4 sized rosters) are printed on 0.5mm aluminium. on a completely smooth surface they can be annoying to grab easily but on any texture including the neoprene matt I photographed them on their quite easy to grab, this coming from someone who bites their nails a lot, consequently doesn't have any

Thanks for the update! A few more questions

1) Have you plans to add general "anything" token or card options to your site for sale for those who want to order custom or flesh out the options to a wider range of products?

2) Have you plans to add Paypal to your payment options

3) For the tokens is 20mm the only size you can work in practically or are other smaller/larger sizes possible?

3) Can tokens/items be printed double side (I assume so just checking)

1. I'm more than happy to do custom orders I tend to do that through Facebook so I can work out the design with the client then send an invoice through paypal when the designs agreed.

2. I can do paypal invoices for custom jobs or general orders if people have an issue wit the cart on the site

3. I can work in different sized discs 25mm are the easiest to get in but i can work down to 16mm or up to 50mm

4. The printing medium is only applied to one side of the items however they can be glued back to back as they are quite thin and the glue holds up brilliantly, I've done it a few times :p

Quick update, I've done a bit of work updating the website and added the new Blank Dry Erase Kill Team Tactics Cards in both White Aluminium and Brushed Silver Effect

Another day, another new item in the store! check out the newly updated Metal Dry Erase Gaslands Dasboards!

So the first of the Printed metal base designs are now up on the site with more designs to follow over the next few days, ultimately you;ll be able to customise a pack of 10 bases to match your Kill Team/Necromunda gang with the names of your choice!

Our website has now been updated for the new Metal Base Designs to take custom text allowing us to print Bases with the names of your choice for your custom kill team!

So a bit better pics of my Ultramarine and Deathwatch Kill Team based using the metal custom printed bases as well as the new turn tracker for 40k and Kill Team allowing people to track both command points and victory points turn by turn.

Hey guys, quick update we've dropped the price on our Gaslands dashboards as the packs have been cut from 10 to 5 as Gaslands players don't usually use more than 3 cars per game



Picture of them in use.
