Warmaster Fantasy - Dwarfs Counter Set Revised

This set of Dwarf counters replaces the set that I did over a decade ago while I was active on the Warmaster Yahoo email list. Unlike the old set, which was slightly undersized, this set will print to the full 20mm x 40mm counters.

Since I bought my first fantasy miniature in 1981, I have been a dwarf fanatic. Back in the early 1980s, I literally owned every Citadel pre-slotta base dwarf. They were my favorite Dwarf figures back when I was playing RPGs. I also enjoy the "Classic" line of Warhammer Dwarfs over the more modern Dwarfs. This set use images of those "classic" miniatures over the more modern versions. Also, you might notice a few versions of the cannon, flame cannon, and gyrocopter counters. Use those facing the direction you prefer. I've also included some Hammerers, which are used as ordinary Warriors.


Printing the Counters
I hope some of you find these counter sets useful.You can print these at office printing places, like Staples, using heavy card stock paper printed at actual size. You can also print on regular paper and then glue the counters to wooden bases. (Check the older posts on how I did this with my Empire army.) Currently, I'm printing the counter sets at Staples using regular paper, spray gluing the back of each sheet with Super77, attaching each sheet to an old comic book backing board, and then cutting out the counters using a sharp Xacto knife with steel ruler. Using the backing boards makes for cheap, sturdy counters.

Dwarf Tactics
Warmaster Magazine #6 had a nice article reviewing the usefulness of every dwarf unit. It had been reprinted at the old Specialist Games website. Since I can't find it online at the moment, you can download it from me by clicking this link to the article as a PDF.

Warmaster Ancients - Britons & Celts Counter Set

This set is based on the Britons' army list in the Warmaster Ancients core rule book. It can work for anything during the 1st centuries BC and AD, including the Caesarian and Claudian invasions. It can also work for Irish and Caledonian armies. While all the units from the army list are present in barbaric horde quantities, I've also taken the liberty of adding some "bonus" units: Noblemen with more armor that can be used a variety of basic Warriors or treat them as Medium Infantry with Armour 6+ for 45 points. If you would like a little "magic" in your armies, there is a Shaman counter, if you want to add such a person. I've also added a number of "named" Generals if you would like to create a specific army; these images are generals from Foundry and Warlord 28mm miniatures. Of course, you could also use the counters for other games, such as DBA or Impetus. I enjoyed creating this set and hope you enjoy it.
