Better Markers for Midgard UPDATED

[anton ryzbak]

notice the blue cubes used to mark Heroic Actions, how unsightly!

       One of the aspects of Midgard that some people object to is the use of markers to indicate Heroic Actions and types of status. We have been using small colored cubes to represent such things on our gaming table. It occurred to me that using markers more in tune with the rest of the painted minis on the table would be less jarring and add to the enjoyment. As I was once again rebasing minis onto Midgard bases (out of the Jon Williams Memorial Collection, R.I.P.Little Jon!) I had some spare minis. I decided to base individual minis on pennies to use as markers for Heroic Actions (instead of the blue cubes that we have been using up until now).  I think That you will agree that this is an improvement.


now, instead of cubes the Hero has actual companions, so much more attractive!

Makes 'spending' your tokens a bit more maudlin as well

Anton, that looks miles better, well done mate. I'm buying the rules and getting started using up old swords, shields helmets as markers.

Well done Anton, that's a grand idea.
Good on ya Harry, Midgard is a hell of a good game.

Spare arrows stuck in a blob of Liquid Nails make decent Shot Markers

I felt like painting but had no minis ready so instead I made some more markers form Midgard, further info here https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2025/09/better-markers-for-midgard-part-ii.html

Nice ideas.  Though I know absolutely nothing about Midgard!
