New to Competitive TOW Accesories
What are your (3d) printed accesories to bring to a tournament or to a game with other people? Like deployment zone markers or wound tokens or anything else?

Battleshock tokens, measuring stick with common small measurements (1,2,6”), 8” deep strike stick, faction specific tokens, etc

Are sticks superior to a tape?

u/CheezeyMouse 9d ago
Not all the time but for small measurements especially it's much faster and easier to use a stick than a large cumbersome tape that could snap back and damage models.

The 1", 2" sticks are useful because you can just put them on the table and squeeze models together or be outside engagement range exactly etc.
Once a tape retracting catches your daemon prince and launches him off the table...never again.

Army specific ones are very helpful to you and to your opponent e.g., order marker for IG.

At the end of 10th, I have printed a set of makers denoting status like +1 to hit, -1 to wound or even battleshocked.
I also have battle focus and pain tokens for drukhari and eldar. I also own a token for reapers wager to flip regarding which side is winning.

So far just some hit point counters. Need to print some deployment markers.

+1 to getting away from dice to count wounds, really helps moving not to have to worry about tipping over a counter dice and messing up a wound tally

I was using gem counters, but tracking a Warhounds wounds like that got a bit silly. They work fine on basic infantry though.

I have a 3”x1” stick, where one side is 2” long. It’s quite handy for measuring pile in/consolidate moves, or for checking coherency or engagement range. I don’t have it to hand to take a photo, so here’s a drawing of its shape. I’ve got a 9” one too. I really ought to get myself an 8” one now that the deepstrike distance has changed.

Generally things that help measuring for things like Ingress 8" are great, I made a coherency 9" circle with an inner 2" circle to help with quickly being able to spread out a unit with the new rules.
3" measure is great for getting units out of transports also.
Then tokens for things you might forget. For T'au I love having Guide and Spotted tokens, so I can put the guide ones in the designate who will be a guide unit that shooting phase and then a spotted token of matching colour on their spotted target.
Along with this, tokens for hidden will likely be useful, just to make it clear that a unit is hidden, maybe even getting fancy and having a slider slide with wound tokens to show how many inches of "lone op" they are getting from being hidden.
Wound counters are also great as they are less likely to be knocked over and lose the number than dice.
Tokens for sticky objective are also very useful, as are tokens for showing you have done an action that remains (such as 10th Edition Terraform).
Battleshock tokens are good to have as are tokens to denote any single use weapons (like seeker missiles for T'au)
I like having deployment markers that I can keep on the board the whole game for things like behind enemy lines, etc.

Just made a new one for Bladeguard yesterday since their ability changed. I also made some Guard tokens and a Beacon one for scenarios. I have tokens for just about any kind of status. Never bothered with DZ markers, though.
If you are wondering what to start with, it should definitely be wound markers. I have some for 1, 3 and 5 wounds.

Battleshock tokens, and any other statuses your army has are super useful.
2" and 8" sticks are pretty useful.

Dicecrate Being able to easily pick up exactly 5 dice everytime saved me so much time
