Carnelian Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 There seem to be loads of digger entry AoS markers and tokens on sale. I wonder if anyone had any experience with them and whether they are actually useful? I definitely need a better way to count wounds. Types I've seen are Litko, Bendyboards and cogotwo.com. I like the Litko ones as they do a wound dial but they are very expensive to get sent to UK so was wondering if anyone had actually seen or used the wound dials?

Shane Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 For wounds we use D8/10/20s. I do love a good D20. For scenery markers I use Ben's dice. Not actually his dice, but a set he sold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevvermore Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 You can also print your own, this guy did two sets of round 1" ones: http://www.tacticalsuicide.com/2015/08/age-of-sigmar-tokens/ http://www.tacticalsuicide.com/2015/12/more-age-of-sigmar-tokens/ There's also these square ones: https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/AOS counters square 17mm.pdf?token=AWzhIvFuYihhFrC3GHCvj0gPrJKIZo9u4NezXdGIwzaNFqFqOuWx6IjZExn-GBz0W_1rQUX4V0M5Ft1mJFQzNir16m2y7oy9E77tnY0FIw9669eXncd9hmwVYR-jeyPsvkk-WCGBVX5lqmOB7kDO5Sxm And three sets of round ones: https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/AoS tokens sheet 001.pdf?token=AWyzuZrMM1vkaERSsBw-k7JfQJDOIicfiwmMEfEIC96fWLoq8EY43pfQlUMH8Qz8s0Nu0ljKe16VGOLzbjMhEjjtGPdxBQl3kpYzhrdO3T-lRgXYBkd0RfbvUJFta1dE2NqrQ5fBcp5RFPiOwy5eO4ow https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/AoS tokens sheet 003.pdf?token=AWxBdrzyylOejHjoXNn2XTu11awtkJERhYYQzXnvQgibia3f0WjoaclsPuonWAvkNRE7h0FycPF8xnwwyU5hTKMw-EdlIHS4oyD6upJRENCYAvXcPzS-q_6h4inj3OqHpY44gy3zBdP9gKiL9xlYQoWQ https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/AoS tokens sheet b.pdf?token=AWwYOcQubpMbh1SC6hFbC8PbIPx-lV5M8UqQuteBV6FXcOLmbvsnthLTyKOdrh__8aYp4bBMO3-IRqTGqVk8xtPpIbxlsMfW2iAuGBe0x8RDZPkLc8WkK8hKp0NxfBiYbHOKyGgfEUeWsC_7i8RaKLZJ You can buy 1" clear epoxy stickers from ebay super cheap, and then a 1" round hole punch and you're set!

The Jabber Tzeentch Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Use all those spare 20mm square bases you probably have sitting around. Paint on different colours/symbols for your tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomPhixer Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I have made a few sets that I posted on my blog, they're 1" rounds, and I have a video there on how to punch them out and adhere them to the inexpensive plastic "bottlecap" stickers for durability... I have some more on the way, for Ghal Mharaz attacks and some other items. Attached is the zip file with everything in it.

Stevewren Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 I use little skull beads to count wounds. They sit on or beside the bases. For markers I tend to make my own, but I'm fortunate to be able to do this at work. I bought some, but I wasn't overly happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratamaplata Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Wouldn't it be more efficient (less overall markers needed) to have "+1", "-1", "reroll" markers and then separate "hit", "wound", "save"? Not too tricky to stick two markers next to a unit and gives them more utility. Could make them 2 sided (+/-1, hit/wound) as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that idea, I think the next version may just have that setup in there. 2 sided has always been weird for me, getting them to print perfectly aligned. I will work on that though. It might be quite cool. The little plastic caps just stick on, so that part is easy! Thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually quite like this. We managed to get a bunch of these for Bossfest and just swapped the alliance specific ones around a bit between ourselves. I now have loads of the Destruction wounds markers...handy, as my stuff gets wounded a lot! In general though I either use dice (different to ones I'm rolling!) or the old GF9 tear (blood?) drop counters for wound markers. For buffs/abilities I have tried a couple of sets but haven't really been too satisfied as of yet - I think some of them are made by people who aren't really playing AoS so aren't clued up on what you need. This week I ordered both sets of @Ben's new dice, so I'm looking forward to receiving them and hopefully trying them out tomorrow if they arrive in time. To me they look a good solution. The "Infinity" style ones above by @PhantomPhixer look great though. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranect Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 the litko ones are great. The wound dials help a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkNaggets Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I tend to shy away from dice, as they sometimes get knocked aside, changing their values in the process. When it comes to tokens, I believe simplicity is the most forthright. Also, varying shapes and colors help differentiate the token without the need for close examination.

MacDuff Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Skull beads are great for wounds, and although a bit large, fit into the visual theme. I got 100 for $4.95 on Amazon. If you want to make it easier to count wounds on large monsters, glue some cocktail sticks on the back of the base and just slide skulls on as they get wounded. Actually looks like part of the model.

swiftmus Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I made some 3D printed tokens (link to the thread in my signature). I'm also happy to work with people to customise more (made some Orc themed tokens for another forum user). A friend bought a set and they turned out to be much more useful than I realised, I used to think of using counters as kind of gimmicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith01 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I plan on ordering Ben's dice and Litko markers but there are some great ideas here: I've been using big dice as wound markers never thought of using cheap Skull beads! I love the ones that you guys have designed too, I'll have to try that. Somewhere I read about gluing shields and swords to bases and using those as markers too. I think that looks awesome.

RuneBrush Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Until yesterday I'd only played 1000 point games and largely the only tokens I found any use were for wounds. Playing a larger 2000 point game I can suddenly see the benefit of having tokens for marking units that have attacked or gained things like +1 to hit for unpredictable destruction... 1 hour ago, Carnelian said: Does anyone have any recommendations for where i can find wipe-clean gaming tokens? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clear-Adhesive-Circles-Bottle-Stickers/dp/B00GMERIB2 on a 1" piece of plain paper?

wayniac Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'm thinking there should be something like how Warmachine has tokens that you write on with a dry erase marker. Would be easier I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
