Age of Sigmar - Sylvaneth Control Tokens

 I knocked out some control tokens for my Sylvanth army - mostly for Spearhead. I've done others for Khorne and Slaanesh, but I'm not sure I've ever really posted pics of them (though they've appeared in game reports!) 

Sylvaneth Control Tokens (for marking control of objective markers in Spearhead... and regular Age of Sigmar, not that I've been playing that for a while...) 

I'd painted the plywood discs ages ago and then kind of stalled on these for a bit as I wasn't sure what symbol to put on them... this symbol, which is on the sylvaneth dice and shows up here and there, I initially thought it would be too complicated... but then I gave it a go and... it didn't turn out TOO bad... 

I feel like I was kind of only getting close to getting them centered properly as I was doing the last one... and wished I'd prepped a dozen as the next six would have looked even better... OR... the next six may very well have just gotten worse and worse as I got tired and bored of doing them... hard to tell... 

When I played the Sylvaneth a few weeks ago, I felt like I was missing something - not having these, and having gotten used to having them for the Khorne armies. When Amanda had said she'd be interested in trying out the Sylvaneth Spearhead army, I kind of knew I could stall no longer, as they are very handy as a clear visual reminder of who controls what... I don't love when people throw a die down on an objective to show they control it - as it just looks like a wayward die on the table (and I feel it could be easily forgotten and picked up to use for rolling something and then confusion taking place at the end of a turn about who controlled which things...).

  1. The tokens look great! If I didn't know you painted them by hand I probably would have assumed they were printed somehow.
