I could use some input

#1 Post by Dawnstrider »

I am just now getting back into Warhammer after a long time of not playing. I do not even remember what edition I stopped playing in but I do know my mages have lost a step or two. Scratch that, they are down right crippled. Anyways, I am putting together some custom tokens to use for various things. Mostly to keep track of what units have spell effects on them. Instead of making a token to represent every remains in play or lasts one turn type spell I am just making a token to represent each school of magic. Granted, some school have more than one type effect but I don't think it will be an issue given the state of the magic phase. At least as far as I can tell. As of now I am just using my theory-hammer while my friend is painting my army. (My painting skills are so bad they make a model look worse. He, on the other hand, is a master.) I am having trouble coming up with pics to represent a few schools of magic. Metal and Light. So if anyone has any thoughts on images to represent these schools I would like to know. Or, if someone with better Illustrator and Photoshop skill that my own wants to modify these, feel free. Especially the Shield of Saphery pic. I am not very happy with it but lack the skill to do better.

So these tokens are two sided but one side of most, if not all of the tokens will be for wounds since it seems that one that would require the largest number of them. Any thoughts on other things tokens would help to keep track of are welcome. Also, I have tried to match the runes to the school of magic they would go good with but am drawing a blank for "Metal". Thoughts? Suggestions? Criticism is always welcome.

P.S. I can not find the button to upload the actual images so your just gonna have to suffer through clicking on the links :/

A few more things that might benefit from tokens:

* Fleeing units
* Wounded by fire (for regenerators)
* High magic (Fiery Convocation is RIP)

For Light, maybe the godlike/angelic glow? Something like:
