More counters

[AdrianH]

The official Shadows counters are black ships on a nearly black background. Being fed up with having to beat their stealth, I grabbed some Shadow vessels from another website and put them on some of Court Jester's dust clouds. The results:

Shadow Scout
Shadow Ship
Shadow fighters

Awesome. Finally a shadow scout counter that doesn't just look like a black card rectangle.

Nice one, these will look great printed onto photo paper and laminated!

I'm afraid I've nicked your idea, and made some similar ones... higher resolution with a blank area for numbering/naming

Shadow Ship 1
Shadow Ship 2
Shadow Scout 1
Shadow Scout 2
Shadow Fighters 1
Shadow Fighters 2

Very nice! I don't object, of course - in fact, feel free to really nick mine and put copies on your website.

I didn't leave blank spaces for numbers, I just add them over the background with Photoshop before printing. I did, however, put the diagonal lines and centre points on the fighter markers - there may be some reason for marking arcs on fighters, there's definitely a reason for marking the centre point for range and movement measurements. Numbers may be useful so you can tell which ones were purchased and which were launched. Alternatively, as of P&P, you don't need to keep track of which flights came from which purchased wing when claiming VP's, so all you need are some of each of the two types of fighter marker; type 1 are purchased, type 2 are launched.

Meanwhile, although not really an official Shadow ship any more, the Psi Corps stole it:
Shadow Hunter

That's because just about everyone except Mongoose calls it a Shadow Hybrid.
