Hi all these are my second lot of homemade tokens and gold piles. They were made in the last 2-3 years, using some pieces from the past and present.

The bases are an MDF 3mm thick laser cut, 25mm circle from a company called BACK2BASE-IX. The items on the bases are a mix of hand sculpted items, cast in resin. Metal and plastic miniatures. Some of the items used in these builds are from old Mordheim terrain as well.

All of the tokens were made primarily for Frostgrave. They are the most frequently used due to the size and weathered look. The gold piles were made for role playing use. I’m always looking into different ideas for tokens just to mix things up a bit but for now these are my favourite.

They can be used as tokens as well is objective markers and also as representations of gold piles for DND.

I have used a variety of Army Painter, Vallejo and Citadel paints. With these pieces however I have used mostly Army Painters paints as it is my largest collection of paints I currently have. I have also washed the pieces in Agrax Earthshade from Citadel paints.

These homemade tokens are mixed media, the bases were sculpted, cast in silicone and then poured in plaster. The items on the bases are a mix of old Mordheim plastic miniatures, bits of toys, metal and resin pieces. They were painted years ago but with the introduction of washes and shades they were brought back out of storage to be touched up. They have been painted using Citadel paints and Citadel’s nuln oil and agrax Earthshade. They were made for Mordheim, then used for Frostgrave. They don’t get much use these days as we have made new treasure tokens and changed to using smaller tokens. The downside of these is they are large, close to a 40mm base, but on the plus side we have a large variety of tokens now to choose from.

Hi all this is just a quick post mucking around with Army Painter shades.

My husband poured these into Hirst Art’s molds using polyurethane resin, they were made a long time ago and left in a box to collect dust lol. They were painted recently due to isolation boredom and I wanted to experiment with Army painter shades/washes.

They were primed white and washed in the Army Painter shades. This was a quick, muck around paint job. If I wanted better quality on the piece, I would have spent a lot more time. We also have a large supply of Hirst Arts (miniature furniture) still to paint and add to our work in progress tables and the buildings.
