Numbered Stickers

By Darth Mark, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Hello, everyone. I'm a huge fan of this game, and I've been playing it since launch, and so far I've collected all of the expansions. This is also my first time posting on this message board. So if this question has already been asked before, I apologize for the redundancy.

One of the main things about this game that had me a little puzzled was how to implement the numbered stickers. So far I've developed a bit of my own system, as illustrated below. However, I am curious as to how anyone else have used these to organize their units.

Here's what I've come up with so far:

BLACK STICKERS
• 1-3 >> Stormtroopers (x3)
• 4 >> Imperial Officer (x1)
• 5-6 >> Royal Guards (x2)
• 7-8 >> Heavy Stormtroopers (x2)

BLUE STICKERS
• 1-3 >> Stormtroopers (x3)
• 4 >> Imperial Officer (x1)

RED STICKERS
• 1-3 >> Stormtroopers (x3)
• 4 >> Imperial Officer (x1)
• 5-6 >> Royal Guards (x2)
• 7-8 >> Heavy Stormtroopers (x2)

And I'm thinking of doing this to the rest of the groups ...

BLUE STICKERS

• 1-3 >> Rebel Troopers (x3)

• 4-5 >> Rebel Saboteurs (x2)

PURPLE STICKERS

• 1-2 >> Trandoshan Hunters (x2)

• 3-4 >> Trandoshan Hunters (x2)

• 5-6 >> Tusken Raiders (x2)

• 7-8 >> Tusken Raiders (x2)

Now obviously this leaves out quite a few other single units like Probe Droids, E-Web Repeaters, and Nexus. I haven't figured out a system for that yet. I'm sure there's a lot of options.

What kind of system have you guys come up with for your stickers? I'd love to hear your suggestions.

I don't use stickers. I paint my minis, and paint the bases of the various deployment groups different colors. So, for example, most of my minis have a black base, but with my stormtroopers I have 3 of them with a black base, 3 with a silver base, and 3 more with a red base to mark them as elite.

I thought the point was to assign both a number AND color to one deployment group, not delineate the members of said group. The Rebel troopers came with the number 5 in four colors, allowing you to pick a color and all three troopers would then be "red 5". As the numbers currently go up to 8 or 9, and there are no groups with 8 or 9 members, I think that's the point.

I don't use stickers. I paint my minis...

I also don't use stickers. However since I have negative artistic abilities I used simple red and black sharpies to color the bases. It adds just a little to the look with virtually no effort.

This is what I did... Colored base to match the sticker on the sleeve, then numbered the models base to match the sticker.

For example: my regular heavy storm trooper card has blue 1&2 stickers. Them models base rims are blue and one is numbered 1, and the other 2. Whenever one of the models receives damage I simply place the damage token next to the deployment card by the number of whichever model tool the damage.
