Hi all,
Crowsfoot's post about maximizing the starter box got me thinking if there was another way to "quickly" make an astrolith bearer. Well, here is a neat Aztec pirate medallion I found on everyone's favorite shopping website for around $3.50 US. Obviously, this is an additional cost on top of the box set.

The medallion is approx 1.75" (approx. 44.5mm). It is made of a metal alloy so my main concern is it's weight. Plus, I guess it would require epoxy to attach it to a plastic banner post? Or perhaps you could mount it to a 50mm base, and then attach the base to the banner post? I suppose the medallion could be used as-is, but it would likely benefit from primer and new paint job to better match the minis.
Anyway, I thought it looked pretty cool and that it might have some potential.
