I was reading another thread and HeH mentioned periscopes for use in tight situations in which you can not easily maneuver a laser pointer or such, so i thought i would compile a list of useful items for HS:
Useful item number 1: A laser pointer. These work wonders for getting LOS. You put it as close to the attacking figuers sight-spot (the green dot on the army card) and point at the figure you want to attack. If you can hit any prt of the hitzone (the red part on the army card), then LOS is clear and the attack proceeds.
useful Item number 2: I do not know what it is called, so i will call it "The Claw." This device can be used to get figures such as syvarris out of over hanges or tunnels and such with out knocking it over. Here are pics:

useful item number 3: A miniature periscope. Also useful for determining LOS. You won't alway be able to just stick you head behind the figures; you next resort should be a laser pointer (see useful item number 1). Sometimes, even that eill be a challenge. HeH has some miniature periscopes, that can be used for tight spaces one's hands cannot maneuver through. Place the out-end next to figures head, and look through the other end. Maneuver until you determine (or not) LOS on the targeted figure.
Useful item number 4: Dice Towers. These are used to ensure a good roll of all sorts of dice. They are shaped like an "L" with a small opening at the top, leading to a series of angled shelves for the di(c)e to roll/bounce off of, mixing them up, which, leads to a return-tray where the ersults of the roll are shown. InfinityMax has some excellent wooden ones, and PoF and I sell some transparent ones.
Useful item number 5: Binder Clips. These are excellent for creating small land bridges. Clip the terrain ieces at the joints underneath the terrain and the will float there as if supported by terrain "pillars."
Useful item number 6: Top loaders. They are basically cd cases, except you put your cards in them. They are a cheaper version of laminate and still keep the cards protected form typical wear and tear and the occasional spill, etc.
Useful item number 7: Zip-lock Bag(gie)s. Put small things such as dice, wound markers, and order markers in plastic baggies to help maintain organization.
