Free Download – 6th Edition Counters!

Counter Banner 2


After scouring the 6th edition MRB this weekend I thought a fresh bunch of counters based on the new information were in order.  Also, I thought that they would help me/us in figuring out what is basically a new game by keeping things on the table crystal clear.



Counters and Dice
1 Wound Take, 2 Hull Points Taken, Bottom of Turn 3 Shooting phase, and Night Fight is in effect! 


Mostly they are just simple counters but a few of them, like the Hull Points and Wounds counters, need a die to go on top of them (see above).  Place the counter with the die next to the model on the table to show Wounds or Hull Points taken for that model.  The advantages with this design are:
  1. A single die doesn’t get mixed up in a wild roll of 30 Ork Boyz’ shooting and…
  2. You don’t have to keep going back and fishing out a new counter (i.e. 1W, 2W, 3W, etc.) when your model takes another Wound or Hull Point of damage.
I also added some extra counter-like things:
  • A Night Fight sign so you/I don’t keep forgetting this now that it's a ubiquitous game feature.
  • Four Destroyed – Explodes markers that are just about the right size for a Rhino and one that is just about right for a Land Raider.
You can do like I did and print them on some label sheet and stick that label sheet to a 0.060” piece of plasticard.  Then you score the plasticard/label sheet with an Xacto knife and metal ruler so you can then break them along the score lines.  BTW, your first score on the second page should be along the top of the Turn Counter marker.  Just cut that whole bottom section off and then start scoring the rest!

Or you can just print them on cardstock and cut them out with scissors.  Either way, your results should be just fine for the tabletop.
