Proxy bases, conversion bases, elevation steps, and tokens for players who would rather spend their hobby time playing than reinventing a small plastic thing.
Most of the time on Data & Dice, I write about data analytics. Every so often, a small annoyance at the gaming table sends me to the 3D printer instead of a spreadsheet. I’m not a particularly gifted 3D modeler. I am moderately diligent, though. I make the thing I need for my own games, adjust it until it does the job, and put it up in case it saves somebody else a bit of time. It’s the same basic approach I take to analytics: notice a practical problem, do enough work to make a useful answer, then share it. Here’s the Kings of War gear I’ve made so far.
Bases and conversions
Proxy bases, with a case
The Kings of War Proxy Bases + Magnetic Case set covers 15 common regiment and monster footprints, from 40×40 mm through 250×100 mm. It includes individual STL files, a convenient 3MF layout, and a matching case and lid that can be fitted with magnets. The bases and case print flat on an FDM printer. If you just want the bases, the earlier Kings of War Proxy Bases are still available too.
4th Edition conversion bases
If you have models on 20 mm or 25 mm bases and want to try the new 40 mm footprint without rebasing the whole collection, the Kings of War 4th Ed. Conversion Bases are for that job. There are versions with and without magnet recesses for both starting sizes, plus a small alignment notch. The recesses are sized for 5×1 mm magnets, and the designs are set up for FDM or resin printing.
Elevation steps
The Wargaming Elevation Steps give you three inches of height in one-inch steps. They’re meant to help multi-bases sit flat and stay balanced on hills or other raised terrain. There’s a plain raised-logo version and a multicolor version; neither needs supports.
Tokens
Status tokens
The newest Kings of War Status Tokens + Magnetic Case set has five corner markers—Undo, Frozen, Wavering, Devastated, and Weakened—and four round tokens for Bane Chant, Hindered, Positive, and Negative. Its two-piece case closes with magnets; the design uses eight 5×2 mm disc magnets.
There are also two earlier versions if you prefer their token selection or case style: the Status Token Set + Carrying Case, with three case options, and the original Kings of War Status Tokens.
Magic item tokens
The Kings of War Magic Item Token Set + Carrying Case has 25 mm square tokens for 20 commonly used magic items, with bold labels intended to be easy to read on the table. The case comes in three options: a Kings of War and Wisconsin logo, a Kings of War logo, or a plain version. It’s designed to store these tokens or the standard status tokens.
Free to download
All of these files are available on MakerWorld at no charge. The pages include the print files and the model-specific details, including magnet and print-layout notes where relevant. These designs started as fixes for things I wanted at my own table. If one is useful at yours, great—that’s the whole point. And if you find a fit issue or have an idea for the next small quality-of-life accessory, let me know. I’m always happy to have a concrete problem to work on.
