Feedback Wanted: Generic Monster Tokens

[floral flare]

Hello! I've been fiddling around with game-icons.net to make a set of 100 generic monster tokens, inspired by Sly Flourish's method. I thought I'd ask for some feedback before posting the image files in case anybody wanted to use them. So far, I have 90 tokens split up in eight initiative groups, matching the colour coding used in the Delian Tomb. That leaves 10 tokens for things like dynamic terrain objects or other NPCs. Included are:

48 Minions (four groups of 8, four groups of 4)
24 Hordes (four groups of 4, four groups of 2)
12 Phalanxes (four groups of 2, four singles)
4 Elites (four singles)
1 Leader
1 Solo
= 90

Three questions:

1. What do you think of the icons? I really like the minions, but I could be persuaded to change up the others. I went for what I perceived to be increasingly fancy helmets; does that read well?

2. Given the scale these things are meant to be printed at, the letter-number identifier is almost certainly too small. Since I'll have to redo them all anyway to fix that, should I make the placement more uniform? For example, in the centre of the token, or perhaps the bottom centre? I was trying to avoid obscuring the icon, but that ship will sail.

3. What should the spare 10 tokens depict? I think I have a fairly good mix based on how many types of monsters might appear in any given encounter, but what would be most useful to spend the last 10 spares on? I considered doing one for each of the nine classes, but I want to use paper standees for those at the very least.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

lotta head/helmets. Maybe some could be white-on-black instead of as is?

I went with black on white to be more printer-friendly, but I'll do a couple the other way round to see if it's worth it. Also, text placement:

Centre looks better, doesn't it? 🤔

[valid dune]

hmmmm it would be really hard for me to read the difference between A1 and A2 if they were center

visually I like it, but it's not more readable

what about like....

[valid dune]

love this actually

but yeah idk about printer friendly

It might still be worth it. It's definitely easier to see, right?

[valid dune]

definitely

But yes, lots of helmets. I wanted a clear, generic progression, because the tokens are trying to represent monster organisation, not roles.

But I like the minion guy so much, it makes me want to give hordes and elites more personality. I'd rather do roles, but there's nine of them and no predictable way to figure out how many you'd need in any given encounter, so I figured it would be more useful to have the base set focus on organisation instead.

Orc Horde, Spartan Phalanx... Makes sense to me, at least 🤔

I like the helmets, makes me think of the Pakled.

In remembrance of Pakled Planet, I'll still leave the Elites as the horned helmet 🙏
