SGFP32 Sengoku Monster Hunter Tokens

This pack contains twenty identical tokens for use as game currency or as monster reveal tokens or as bases for your miniatures.  Sengoku Monster Hunter tokens are 20mm round and are very useful in that you can use them as 16th century Japanese coins or as counters in play of the Monster Hunter game (revealing creatures, just put a number on the underside to keep track) or as a base for your Sengoku or other miniatures as they match the 20mm rounds we  put our own painted figures upon.  For a full range of monsters you will need two packs but we offer 10% off if you take three packs (60 Tokens). Go HERE.

Here is a picture of the new token next to SGF93 Armoured Demon Monk for scale.  You can also mount your miniatures on these 20mm round tokens.

Thanks for Reading,
