Keeping Track

 

 

There are an absolute ton of monsters, Warriors, summons, & NPCs in Warhammer Quest. Even more so if you use our re-write of the game (currently over 1,200 miniatures with Warriors). This can be tough to keep track of. How many models have I found STL's for? How many models have I printed? How many have I painted?

As it so happens, I'm kinda methodical about almost everything I do. So I have some google sheets that answer all these questions.

I have one built around Monsters by Model Type (grouping normal, champion, heroes, and lords together). You can find a blank version of it here. You can copy it and fill it in for your own use.

I have a 2nd one built around Monster by Dungeon Level, so if Dugneon Level 1 only needs 6 Plague Monks, only 6 show up there, then the next 6 show up on Dungeon Level 3. You can find a blank version of it here. You can copy it and fill it in for your own use.

Because we made changes to the normal Monster Encounter Table, I need to know how many of each model I needed and how many of each upgraded version of each model I needed (IE, how many normal, champions, heroes, & Lords). The Monsters by Model Type Spreadsheet shows how many models of each monster are needed at each Dungeon Level, and how many of each of their upgrades are needed as well. 

Some monsters like Ogres, you only really need 3 normal Ogres, because the Champion Ogres never show up with normal Ogres. So for both versions of the enemy you can use the same model. However, some Normals will be lead by a champion. On rare occasions normals, will be joined by Champions and Heroes. For Example on Level 7, 8x Beastmen Champions are joined by 3x Beastmen Heroes and 1 Beastmen Lord. On my chart if a number of models is in Brackets that means it is accompanying a downgraded version of itself. If a line has both a number in bracket and number not in brackets, the not in brackets is how many show up on that level not with downgraded versions of itself. This can be seen in the following image.

If you are interested in what monsters we added with expansions, they are all listed in the Monsters by Model Type spread sheet linked above.

I have another spread sheet for keeping track of how many spaces each model needs for building out how models will be stored on cookie sheets. Each of my cookie sheets can hold 176 spaces (11 x 16). Some models take up 2 spaces like Centaurs, some take up 4 spaces like Greater Daemons. Once I move into expansions, some take up 8 spaces (2x4) and some take up 9 spaces (3x3).

I have a spread sheet for how the models will be grouped up on their cookie sheets for ease of finding stuff once I'm done with old world. This will need 5 cookie sheets.

Then I have the end goal for all 1,200 + miniatures cookie sheet layout, needing 12 cookie sheets. The eventual plan is to build 3 boxes that each store 4 cookie sheets, so if I need to I can transport all the miniatures at once.

You can look at my current model progress, cookie sheet layouts, and such here.

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
