Tyranid Tournament & Hobby Downloads

     Taking a break from our Battle Reports, I thought I’d post up a few game aids that I’ve been using for the last few months. With the introduction of the new psychic powers in 6^th ed, I’ve found that my Tyranid lists often have at least a few psykers. Keeping track of who generated what, and what unit has what buff can be quite a chore. Combine this with Warlord traits, and you have quite a few random elements you're generating every game.

Check out my downloads below the fold. 

     Here’s a simple file that I print out on the back side of my army lists. 

Pychic & Warlord Back

     Depending on what load-out your using, you can easily change around the specific characters on the top of each column. I also put a Ymgarl Deployment area at the bottom of the page. Write in where they're deploying, and then fold the paper under.

     My Tyranid lists are usually 1 page long (I don't include all the weapon info, just the list), so this makes a good companion to print on the opposite side.

   

     In terms of keeping track of all your Biomacy Buffs, I made tokens. These take a little bit more to make. You'll need:
25mm Bases
1 inch round labels
Printer (laser preferred)

     I know that bases can be fairly pricey these days, so you may want to seek out an alternative to the GW plastics. I bought a couple hundred Econobases back when GF9 made them (basic laser cut round bases), but I don't think they produce them anymore. If you know of anyone in the US selling these, drop a note in the comments.

     I purchased 1 inch labels from Onlinelabels.com, in a couple of different paper types. I bought the Standard White Matte and the Weatherproof Polyester Laser. I figured that I'd try out my designs on the Matte, and then make the finals on the Polyester. I also wanted to use heavy duty labels because these tokens will get a lot of use. I bought 2 sheets of each, and to my surprise, when they arrived in the mail I received 6 of each. Win.

     Here's the PDF of the tokens. Print them out on the labels, and you have tokens to keep track of all those spells.
Biomancy Tokens

     These are still a work in progress. I tried using the biomancy image as a background with the black letters, but using them on the table, I don't feel the text pops out enough. Hyv3mynd suggested using Purple as the text color (opposite of green on the color wheel). I think I'll give that a try on the next run.

     Let me know what you think, and feel free to comment if you have a suggestion.
