If you backed the Kow2 Kickstarter, you probably have a sack of red, blue, and green token with symbols on them.


RED/BLUE
The Squigly lines are suppossed to be waves for Wavered,
Arrows pointing outward is Disorded,
Broken Shield is the Nerve test reminder for the shooting phase
Star Shape is for spell effects

GREEN
Objective Markers

The only one I figured out for sure is the wavy lines should be "Wavering".
I'd guess the arrows pointing outward might be "Disordered", which means the inward pointing arrows might be "Steady" (I don't see a purpose for a token for "Steady", though).
The broken shield and the star are a mystery to me.

I too was puzzled by these...

My best guess was

Broken Shield = Wavering
2 Squigly lines = at the double
Multicursal Hexagramic Ward (6 pointed continuous star) = Generic Magic Marker for things like Bane Chant

No Idea what the arrows are for

Popped over to ask the question in the Mantic Forums and someone else did so earlier in the day. There doesn't appear to be an offical answer, but the consensus is:

RED/BLUE
The Squigly lines are suppossed to be waves for Wavered,
Arrows pointing outward is Disorded,
Broken Shield is the Nerve test reminder for the shooting phase
Star Shape is for spell effects

GREEN

Way too organised

How did you colour the icons? Just careful painting? I was going to do the same but could just not force myself to paint that many boring tokens

They're certainly not a patch on the Zombicide ones.. I think what Adam did with his improves them immensely. That's how they should have came in the first place...

Useful? Yes.

Pretty? No... not even a little....

Just got my replacement (for my missing shipment) shipment today. They are as ugly in person as seen on the Internet . Well I guess I'll have a tiddley winks game set to play during the opponents turns. Maybe that's how we will resolve rules disputes.

I can solve your ugly token problem for you.

Place the ugly tokens in an envelope and PM me for the address to ship them to.

I will make certain they never offend your eyes again, while they live out their days serving on the fields of battle on my gaming table.

Ugly, but functional - they do the job.
