One of the aspects of Midgard that some people object to is the use of markers to indicate Heroic Actions and types of status. We have been using small colored cubes to represent such things on our gaming table. It occurred to me that using markers more in tune with the rest of the painted minis on the table would be less jarring and add to the enjoyment. As I was once again rebasing minis onto Midgard bases (out of the Jon Williams Memorial Collection, R.I.P.Little Jon!) I had some spare minis. I decided to base individual minis on pennies to use as markers for Heroic Actions (instead of the blue cubes that we have been using up until now). I think That you will agree that this is an improvement.

Making the markers more attractive
notice the blue cubes near the Command Stands, how unsightly!
now, instead of blue cubes, there are actual attendants!
SO much more attractive
I like this development and am now trying to come up with similar markers to use instead of the ones currently employed. Little piles of skulls for Stamina hits? Bloody swords for Charging/Following Up? Empty quivers for Shot markers may be to hard to model......

certainly a much nicer way of tracking a unit's status.
