Cheap Flight Stands? & Pimping out TI3 was created by MattFantastic
Anyone know a source? GW used to have these big 32 packs but don't seem to anymore and the replacement 5 packs are stupid expensive. Litko stuff is cool but still more than I want to spend.
After the couple games of TI3 this weekend I decided I really want to start pimping the fuck out of my copy rather than buy new other games.
First step is gonna be inking (or maybe dipping) everything to give it a little more depth.
Flight stands would be nice on all the ships, but I really want to do dreadnoughts & capital ships at the least. Another option is the Litko fleet movement stands but I don't like that as much and it's still really expensive to get enough for regular play.
Anyone have any other fun ideas for stuff to do?

A few ideas I've kicked around off the top of my head.
A set of dice for each player color is a nice touch.
Some small (maybe 6mm) infantry minis to represent leaders, you could paint a small base the correct color to designate what type they are.
A 3D Mecatol Rex Tile to anchor the center of your board.
Pimped out Trade Counters.
We don't play with Mercs, but you could use small ship minis for them.
I was sick of my ugly black and white printouts for the leader rules, so I'm in the process of making some playing card sized references to piggy back into an order for another PnP project. I'm not finished making them yet, but these are the early results.
