Which base size to use
In grid-based games every square is one inch (about 25 mm), and the base tells how many squares the creature takes up.
Creature sizes
| Size | Squares | Base | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tiny | ¼ square | 25 mm (several together) | Common rats, bats, sprites |
| Small | 1 | 25 mm | Goblins, halflings, giant rats |
| Medium | 1 | 25 mm | Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, wolves, boars |
| Large | 2 × 2 | 50 mm | Ogres, bears, dire wolves, horses |
| Huge | 3 × 3 | 75 mm | Giants, big trolls, young dragons |
| Gargantuan | 4 × 4 or more | 100 mm or more | Ancient dragons, krakens |
Figure height
Height is set for a standing human: about 32 mm on a 25 mm base. Every other race and beast keeps its relative size, so the dwarf comes out shorter and the horse taller without any math on your part.
For bigger or smaller figures, change the height in the print panel. The scale applies to the whole sheet.
Wide silhouettes
A creature with wings, a long weapon or seen from the side may stick out of its base. You can shrink it to fit or let it overhang a little, as many metal miniatures do.
Paper base or plastic stand
The paper base folds out of the strip itself and needs nothing else. If you have slotted plastic stands, pick that option and the strip gets a tab that fits in them.
