There are a lot of miniature base's and health/hit trackers out there but nothing that had everything I was looking for, so I set out to make my own from ground up to check all the boxes that were must haves for me. I made these mainly for my Gloomhaven and Frosthaven miniatures, but I'm sure it should be compatible with most miniature games.

It had to have the following…

• The health tracker numbers need to go high enough for high health minis, e.g. Bosses.

• The bases need to be low profile enough so not to be obtrusive, cumbersome or to break immersion while playing.

• They need to have a spot for status indicators.

• They need a way to differentiate between normal and elite miniatures.

• They MUST be easy to use. I don't want to be messing around with indicators while we should be playing.

• The trackers and Bases need to be easy to store and organize.

It turns out that the design I came up with is completely modular. The Health numbers can go up to 99 and can be swapped out with any combination of numbers/symbols or colours. The magnet system makes assembly simple and fast while also making storage a breeze, and keeps your minis securely in their place while stored. The miniature base with HP tracker assembled is a mere 4.6mm thick! That includes the miniatures base! There is room for two status indicators on each miniature that snap to the base easily with their embedded magnets.

The magnets used in this system are 5mm X 1.5mm for the miniature base, number rings and painting handle .

The magnets used in the miniature base for the status indicator and in the status indicators are 3mm X 1mm.

I spent a lot of time getting the sizes and print setting just right for my printer, so I have included all the files I used to print my own set of dials. The gcode files i have included have colour change stops in the number rings. No glue was used, everything is press fit, but you may have to make some adjustments for your printer.

I have also made a storage tray/dispenser for the number rings, and storage trays for the miniatures.
