pain tokens

when i was at adepticon this month they handed out command tokens which were raised skulls. i don't know who or what company made them but they were giving them away to everyone playing in the tournment so they might just be something special and unique. i was thinking of casting them up and was wondering if anyone would be interested in them ill try and get a picture posted of them and i could even designe some more of them if people are interested.

I'd like to see what they look like.

So would I. Might make nice objectives or pain tokens or something.

They might have been these from Dragonforge.

Hot damn those are cool looking.

Agreed. I might order a couple of those for objectives!

I quite liked the GW idea of sticking Brass pole on base and slidding on Skulls/Heads for each individual token.

I might actually try magnetizing them, at least that way they wouldn't get lost so easily when you are not using them.

I got this from another forum poster so the idea isn't mine. I went ahead magnatized some cryx soul counters from Warmachine. They are still unfinished and I haven't really based them yet.



There is a central magnet under the round base and I put some large nail heads under the counters. The soul tokens come in a pack of 9 so I do have a total of 18 tokens and so far I haven't needed more. Things do get crazy though when playing Coven lists or games were you roll that "6" for combat drugs but overall I have gotten extremely positive feedback from opponents as there really is no issue who has how many tokens etc.

There has been a battle report of a game I had posted over at warseer, I will try to get a picture or two and you can see them during an actual game.

IVIoose: The token handed out at Adepticon this year was just a printed token, not raised. Unless, there was something specific to the event you were attending, which is possible. I will try to get a picture up of the Objective Token handed out to everyone in the swag bag soon.


Grumpy Kwi: Those look great! I think I will be stealing that idea too!

I plan to sculpt something like this:

on few bases, then make mold and made... lots of those.

Yes, I'm making business here guys

Ok, not quite. Not now. But soon. Victory will be mine!

I could not help but be reminded of this

These work well & look sweet:

I'm thinking of making ones like the souls shown here.


Ofcourse you'd probably have to make ones for one, two and three pain tokens.. But it wouldnt be hard. Either buy the bits from privateer press, or buy skulls, toss em on a wire, and greenstuff a trail. It would emphasize them being able "collect" souls.

Those are exactly what I want to use as well, Xenock. I already have something similar with my Duke model, mounted on the base, it was part of the cape on the original Vlad von Carstein from WFB Vampire Counts kit that I used. I want to make more similar to that or the Cryx ones you showed, and pose them all differently.
