Cardboard Miniature Stands
thingiverse
I love cardstock miniatures for gaming, especially SJ Games's Cardboard Heroes (http://www.warehouse23.com/products/cardboard-heroes-fantasy-set-01-player-characters). They're affordable, simple to transport and store, and spare me the hassle of painting. However, their lightweight construction and small bases make them prone to instability. A gentle breeze can topple them over, and a single bump to the table sends them crashing. These innovative plastic bases were inspired by those designed for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game Kickstarter. They're engineered to resolve this problem. Instead of folding up a stand-up triangle, just pop the cardboard miniature into the base. Much more stable, and since it's folded flat, they're less susceptible to crushing. They're sized for one-inch-per-hex hex maps, including both one-hex (for people) and two-hex and three-hex versions for larger creatures. 10/29/17: I've added a few more since the initial upload. There are now two new options available. One is designed for three-hex creatures with a triangular configuration rather than a straight line, and another features two figures in a single hex (for example, two characters engaging in close combat).
