Yeah,
Star Wars Imperial Assault has a lot of cardboard Tiles and Tokens!
On the whole they are pretty OK.
But they are let down by the brown grey card board edge... yukky.

I decided to paint the edges.
I already had these pens from making my x-wing tokens sexy.

I spent 5 hours painting the Tiles and tokens!
It's bloody boring... however it's very easy.

It makes them look so much better in my opinion.

I made sure that things like crates and terminals were painted grey and carefully so that their colours can be kept secret.

The pens are about £3 - £4 each... quite expensive.

I used 6;
Uni Posca Slate grey
Sharpie 'Paint' Black
Sharpie 'Paint' Red
​Sharpie 'Paint' Lime Green
​Sharpie 'Paint' Aqua
​Sharpie 'Paint' pink

Only 2 tokens that have a yellow boarder so I didn't buy a yellow pen, I used GW citadel yellow paint I already had.

I'm pretty happy with them.
I didn't paint the tile connection edges, just the black side edges.


The connection points are hidden once the map is assembled.
And the Map has a nice black border all the way around the edges.


Lastly,
I found that for organising the cards and tiles small elastic 'Looms' are great.



Panic...

That looks nice, really want a copy of that myself.

Have you used Crylon preservative on them by any chance? Recommend it at all if you have?
