LITKO Translucent Green Close Combat Gauge for Warhammer 40K - 6" 3" 1" ½" Sides with To-Wound Table
LITKO Translucent Green Close Combat Gauge for Warhammer 40K - 6" 3" 1" ½" Sides with To-Wound Table
The LITKO Close Combat Gauge is a single-piece translucent green acrylic tool with four side lengths — 6 inches, 3 inches, 1 inch, and ½ inch — designed to measure pile-ins, consolidations, melee weapon ranges, and engagement distances during the fight phase of Warhammer 40,000. Laser-engraved directly into the material are a To-Wound table and a close combat sequence summary, keeping key references on the gauge rather than in a rulebook. This gauge is built for 8th Edition but also works with 9th and 10th Edition rules.
What measurements does this gauge provide?
The gauge has four sides at 6", 3", 1", and ½". These cover the standard distances for pile-in moves, consolidation moves, melee weapon ranges, and engagement range. The ½-inch side is especially useful for measuring base-to-base contact and within-½-inch requirements in 8th, 9th, and 10th Edition.
How durable are the markings?
The markings are laser-engraved into the acrylic, not printed on top. This means they will not fade, peel, or rub off with repeated use. The engraving remains clear and easy to read across the table even after many games.
What is the build quality and prep required?
The gauge is laser-cut from durable acrylic — not 3D printed or injection-molded. It has a slim, low-profile shape that slides between tightly grouped models and terrain without displacing them. It arrives ready to use with no sprues to trim and no flash to clean up.
Is this gauge compatible with 9th and 10th Edition Warhammer 40,000?
Yes. Although the engraved combat sequence summary reflects 8th Edition steps, the side measurements (6", 3", 1", ½") and the To-Wound table are applicable to 8th, 9th, and 10th Editions. The gauge is compatible with Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop.
