Soul Stones

[jmp_mydog]

Here's and idea to make Faction Specific Soul Stones.

You'll need:
Glass florists beads (available at craft stores) in your faction color
Self Stick Felt
White Glue
Compass Cutter


To start I cleaned up the faction logos in photoshop and scaled them to fit in a 3/4-in. x 3/4-in. square. Then printed them out with a laser printer (if your don't have access to a laser printer make a copy on a xerox machine, ink jet will bleed).

The next step is to measure the diameter of the flat part of the glass bead; set your compass cutter to that diameter and cut out the logos.

Next using white glue (I prefer tacky glue to elmers) put a blob of glue on the bottom of the bead and stick the logo to it (printed side up). Let this dry for 24 hours.

When you come back to it you'll be able to see your faction logo through the bead. To finish them up and make them look professional, take the compass cutter and cut circles out of the self stick felt. Apply them to the backs of your stones and you have a nice set of gemlike soulstones in your faction color.

I'll post pictures soon.

Sweet, looking forward to it.

I use the beads for stones, but the shapes and sizes are too irregular for that most of the time. Either way, nothing beats having some shiny, faction-colored stones to throw around.

I use poker chips.

I still think Wyrd should print some sweet poker chips up. Nothing like tossing chips and shuffling cards... any updates down that road? Not the cheap plastic ones, nice clay ones.

[Nathan Caroland]

I'll have to remember to look into that, few times I started something popped up.

[Peterdita]

I can send you some info ;-)

I did some legwork looking for some sweet chips a while ago when I survided on poker for 9 months.

Now if only you guys were running some in Atl.

Hey, isn't Wyrd based in ATL? You guys need to come out to stores and rock some demos for us! Until I get minis, and then I'll do my best to hench for you guys, but you should be able to rock some face in the local scene.

Halloween MnMs! MMMMMM... Especially with McM. ;)

I have this horrid vision of someone using Sweedish Fish as Corpse Tokens with McM, then making high-pitched "Whhhyyy MEEEE!!!" sounds when they rip them in half for Body Parts.

You've earned 5 extra soulstones for using hench as a verb. I'm glad to see it's catching on.

You've got great stuff on your website! That terrain is great and those counters are fantastic!

Thanks Redstripe, your fluff is inspiring.

Here is an idea with the Poker Chips that I used with making Hordes dog tags. Take the crew symbols and color in the preferred editing software for color and size. Print on a transparency then cut the circle out of the Poker chip size. There is a sticker maker device at craft stores you slide this circular piece through then apply to the poker chip face. If you want to reduce the shine and add a protective coating then spray with matte varnish a few times. Easy process with great results.

Junior mints work well for soul stones and they combat gamer breath as well.
