CUSTOM MINIATURE SELECTIONS

It is often useful to assemble a custom sheet of miniatures for a particular game.  This allows a whole platoon of guards, or a whole tribe of enemies, without printing all of the extra miniatures on the sheet.   It is actually very easy to assemble custom sheets, and takes a few minutes per miniature.  Acrobat Reader and a program such as Microsoft Powerpoint are all that is required, although it may be useful to have a graphics program to improve the quality of the custom sheet.

 

1)    Open the appropriate file in Acrobat Reader and enlarge to at least 200%.  Adjust the screen so that the whole of the miniature of interest is visible on the screen.

2)    Click on the "Graphics Select Tool" button shown below.

3)    Draw a box around the desired miniature, getting as close to the outer lines as possible.

4)    Right-click and select "copy".

5)    Paste the miniature into a blank Powerpoint (or similar) document sized to A4.  It should look something like this:

6)    Right-click on the image and select "Format Picture".

7)    Choose the "size" tab and set the longest dimension (width in the above case) of the miniature as given below:
 

Type Long Dimension
Normal Flat / A-Frame 9.2cm
Large Flat / A-Frame 14.8cm
   
Normal Triagonal 8cm
Cavalry Triagonal 16cm
Large Triagonal Varies but usually 12cm

A list of special sizes is given by product at the bottom of this page.  It is important that the "Lock Aspect Ratio" option is ticked.

8)    If multiple copies of this miniature are needed, just copy and paste as appropriate. Arrange all miniatures next to each other.

9)    Print and/or save page with appropriate title.  Libraries can thus be built up of individual miniatures for custom printing.

 

It may be desirable to "clean up" the edges of the miniatures once they have been copied out of acrobat reader.  The easiest way to do this is to paste the image into a graphics program such as Paint Shop Pro, zoom in and select the very edges of the miniature.  Then go to the "Image" menu and select "Crop to Selection".  The miniature can then be pasted into Powerpoint.
