In the middle of a board game marathon weekend for the holiday weekend.
No Kublacon this year for me- saving a bit of money after the expenditures of Europe & Las Vegas.
But a quick update for a Troll Token.
One concern I had about the Norse Dwarf team was the size of my team's Troll. It is a very big mini.
On the off chance someone managed to knock him down (read that: 'likely event') I didn't want to lay the troll down on the pitch because he's simply too big not to take up 3 or more squares!
In the past I've put little markers on a big guy's base, but they can't be seen from all angles or when the area gets crowded with players. I've seen the prone/stun markers that Impact sell, which are a good idea: remove the mini and place the marker, but I wanted something more visually appealing and at the same time more personalized for the team, so this is what I came up with:

When the Troll get's knocked down:
Flip it over if instead he is Stunned (in which case it gets flipped to 'knocked down the next turn):
A fast job, done in about 15-20 minutes but happy with the results.
Even happier when I don't have to use it though!
If you have a holiday weekend this weekend, hope you're having fun and making the most of it!

Cracking idea and as you say a more personalised solution. Looking like a promising weekend, even the sun has made an appearance in my little corner of the U.K.
If he's an Ice Troll, you could have made a troll silhouette out of PVA, coated it with sand for texture, and painted it shades of white and grey, with perhaps a troll helmet or club sticking out of the pile. It would like he was made of ice, got sconed, and fell apart into his component pieces.
This would add a little 3dishness to the token, but still allowed other figures to move over him.
Of course, the best plan is still not to get stunned ;)
I think they are ACE especially the face down one
Very fun idea LF. The stun picture cracked me up.
Great stuff!
I like making things personalised and themed having made a few counters for things especially to help me keep an eye on special synapse rules for my 40k Tyranids.
This looks especially ace!
Great little token there! Nicely executed as well!
