The basic idea is to have a number of "empty" bases that accompany my normal miniatures. Obviously, they have to be the same bases as usual so they are, as always, from Fenris Games:
- 25mm DS round Innsmouth Cobblestones (Fenris Games)
- 25mm round Deep Recess (Fenris Games)
Over the years I have collected a number of animals. These are the ones I used:
- Chicken flock (Black Cat Bases)
- Cats (promotional miniatures from Black Cat Bases)
- Animal set (Stronghold Terrain)
So what to do with these bases? In a number of scenarios that we play, the characters can move across the board unseen. Sometimes they hide as civilians, sometimes they move as shadows or street animals. For each of my pirate crew members I have one respective character marker on a 25mm round plywood base. These markers are secretly placed under Civilian models or under these new animal tokens.
