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.
those blue cubes represent Heroic Actions, how unsightly!
now our brave hero has companions instead |

We use small gems…
…and I did some other counters too to help with play. Interesting approach you have chosen, I hope it works well for you! |

I use d4 dice as all types of markers, casualties, morale, special status with and without writings ( using color).
The pyramid shape is easy to spot but not over bearing. |
