Extra Gems Holder - a djiminianish way to do one

[Not Quite Dead]

In the campaign, heroes may trade XPs for extra gems they will use in common, putting them on two cards.

 

 

On the French-speaking forum, @Djimne had a cunning idea in order to prevent these gems to be knock over from the cards (by accident or on purpose). As I recently made one for me, I seized the opportunity to post a tutorial here. I didn't make it exactly like hers, but it's more a philosophical than a effective difference. Pay attention, people, it's rocket science time!

 

In most addons of Conan (Black Dragons, Crossbowmen, Giant Wolves, etc...) you get these thingies, once you have removed the tiles of the unit:

 

And in expansions (Stygia, Nordheim, Khitaï) you get blank tiles of unit:

 

Step one: Abracadabra!

 

Step two: Use adhesive tape on the back to ensure they'll stick together for eons.

 

Step three: Use extra punchboard frames and paste them on the previous one (I used two of them):

 

Step Four: With the black (or pink, or whichever colour you fancy) spray you use to base your miniatures, paint your gem holder. Wait patiently, and paint the other side.

 

Step Five: Paste (or simply insert the cards from the campaign in your gem holder).

 

And voilà!

 

Optional Step: travel to France, and offer a glass of white wine with some cheese to thank Djimne for her idea (but beware of her husband ).
