Tokens

[Raziel Pawel]

I am about to start Malifaux, but have no idea how to go about tokens, I've bought a box of each translucent bases (3x50mm, 5x40mm, 10x30mm) wyrd have in sale but to my surprise there are no tokens on the website download page. Can somebody advice me how to deal with that?

 

I will play Guild, and Arcanists but got red bases only, would it be of any use to get other colours? and how many is enough and what sizes?

I've seen a guy online sticked plasticard on top so he can use errasable marker, what do you think about this idea?

here's mine:

 

Corpse, Scrap, Bodypart

then tokens sculpted on the back of WHFB goblin shields

Lovely, but I found tokens thru google, and there is TON of different ones, scheme, dynamites some eyeballs, wagons, flame walls... ehhhh... I am confused. Is what you got enough?

 

I thought those bases were suposedly be used as tokens, cause I cant image actualy basing your miniatures on something like this.

So long as you don't try and use the same markers as different things, ie "No, that red base is a scheme marker, that one is a corpse counter." It should be fine, also, what crews are you using? Some dont need any markers other than schemes, Perdita for example only needs scheme markers (30mm bases are fine), while Ramos would need scheme markers and scrap (30mm as well) but Sonnia with CHeroffe's imprint would need two 50mm markers for flame wall.

Here are some I made with my laser... I'm not totally satisfied with the wood though. I'm still looking for a good wood to use for stuff.

I made some custom tokens also using a laser cutter service, I'm happy with them, but they were a bit expensive: http://malifauxshadow.blogspot.com/2013/12/fire-lassorrrss.html 
Also, stating the obvious... don't forget simple cut out paper. You can glue them on some cardboard for a more durable piece - this is probably the cheapest.

A bunch of people at our LGS use the colored glass beads (ie: red = on fire, green = distracted, etc...). I use the beads for my soulstones.

But you will def need some markers at legal size (30mm) for Schemes and Strategies. 
Good luck. Always nice to see what other's are using.
Greenstuff_Gav those are nice!

They recently switched over from MDF to Plastic counters and they are pretty much designed to work with Malifaux.

Here's a link to the minis that were entered into my slow grow league's painting competition. Check the Rasputina crew to see a pretty sweet example of using the clear bases.

For rasputina they look realy good... You are right they actually might work well with others too, Sonia Crid would look nice with those I guess.

I made these scheme markers for Sonnia, hopelessly impractical, but I had fun making them! The bases are 30mm MDF disc blanks I bought off the interbay from:

I've just finished putting these together for some local Malifaux folks

What would be a good quantity to have of each? 

Scheme

Aura

Blast 

Corpse 

Scrap

And what ever ones I may have forgotten.

Scheme - Most of the time you will need less than 10 per player. A few crews might go beyond this, but very rarely. 

Aura - There are no aura markers.  Whilst you could make markers for it, they are likely to get in the way. there also isn't a fixed Aura size. 

Blast (50 mm) - I don't think anything creates more than 3 blast markers, and they don't last, but you will want at least 2. (You can get away with 2 as you could places the first one, then place the second one, and then re-use the first one as the third one and so on). 

Corpse - very Crew dependent. Most of the time you won't need any of these. I would say that unless you are planning on playign a game where you try to generate them, 10 will be more than plentiful. 

Scrap - even more crew dependent that corpse. If you are playing Ramos, you'll need about 10. If you're playing Hoffman, Collodi, Leveticus or Mei feng you might need 5, and if you're using Toshiro, widow weaver or Sparks, you might need 5. Otherwise probaly none.  

 

Other Markers - 

Strats -30 mm 5 squat markers, some claim markers (Typically 5 should be enough) 1 Turf war, if you're playing gaining ground 2015 or 2016 you'll want head markers and an extraction marker. You will also want 2 guard the stash 50mm Markers. But you'll only need to use 1 set of markers per game, so 5 30mm Strat Markers ans 2 50mm Markers would be enough most of the time. 

 

I think anything else is based on the models you have. 

[Gremlin66]

Gremlins and Outcasts are the ones I have . Thanks for the reply.

You can make your own tokens with the Malifaux Marker Generator ;-)

Didn't see it listed, but there is an etsy seller that has some pretty nice acrylic tokens. Most use cases are covered, and they are designed as faction specific (but doesn't really matter).
