AoS & Spearhead table upgrade bags

Description
Age of Sigmar & Spearhead table upgrade bags

These bags contain upgrades that will function with the AoS and Spearhead 4.0 tables.
This was my way of upgrading what was already 2 awesome mods, and tweaking them so that me and my friends would have a smoother UX.

Mods that this Mod was built for;

How to use the bags
  1. Save the bags to your objects or pull them straight from the Mod
  2. Place them in the map
  3. Click 'Place' button on each to apply the upgrades
  4. Done

What's included in this Mod?
AoS bags
  1. Tokens Upgrade bag - I found the layout could be laid out differently, plus I've added some extra tokens/dice
  2. Scoreboard Upgrades bag - I'll start with saying this isn't perfect, but it's handy. At least now you can better track the smaller details in a game.
  3. GHB 24-25 Upgrades bag - There are so many new things in here; Honour Guard Markers, Markers for Battle Tactics & my favourite - interactive objectives
  4. GHB 25-26 Upgrade bag (COMING SOON!) - I do have the Objective Markers live here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3491096509

Spearhead Bags
  1. SH Objective control upgrade - There's now a way to track who controls which objective
  2. SH Token Upgrades bag - Again, rearranged and added a few tokens
  3. SH Scoreboard upgrade bag - A simple upgrade to make tracking better

Faction Specific Tools
This section is likely to be WIP for a long time. I mainly made tools that I thought were handy for my regular group to use, hence why it's not holistic. If you have any suggestions however, do let me know and i'll see if i can add things here

1. Faction bag for Gloomspite Gitz - You can now track where the moon is based on their 4th Edition Battletome's new rules for the moon. It's certainly in the prototype phase, but i hope it helps some people




Into the details of each bag [the nitty gritty]
This section certainly isn't needed to be read to bet into this Mod, however, I wanted to go through all the features that have been created.

AoS bags
Tokens Upgrade bag
  • Added a D3 dice - I was amazed that one of these wasn't already within one of the tables, but glad too as i was able to make an infinity bag for this Mod, and had a blast doing it. Seeing as AoS has a lot of use for D3, i thought this a handy addition indeed.
  • Made the 'Active' token into an infinity bag.
  • Added 2 alternative coloured health / damage taken tokens - The number of times i would have to change my health markers to another colour finally meant i ended up finding a prebuilt way to smooth out the UX. - Let me know if there should be other colours that are common use.
  • Added alternative colour counters.
  • Rearranged the current token's and their positions - this isn't perfect by any means, but the spaces were at least a way for me to better break up the types of tokens. This was my first part of the project, so i was still learning a lot about what i could do with the tools available and will likely revisit this layout.
  • Fights First, Fight a 2nd time & Fights Last - are all now infinite bags, so don't worry about deleting these any more.

GHB 24-25 Upgrades bag
Probably worth saying, these are a little late in the season - we're already getting hints of what 25-26 GHB will look like. However, I'm sure there will be people out there that might still play older GHBs, so fear not i'll keep this in forever.
I will also look to making a 25-26 GHB set, as i'll want to have the features this has and i'd hope that others will like that too.

  • Added Honour Guard tokens for each player (these are located on the Honour Guard ref sheet atm). - I found that it was often a chore to either remember (certainly if your army has 2) and these have been a huge help in reducing the mental load.

Battleplan sub-bags
Located near the 'Vice objectives' section (on your right if you're Blue side).

  • Added bags for each battleplan in 24-25.
  • Each bag contains the new updated objective markers.These markers can do the following;
    -- Show the objective is neutral - Default
    -- Show the objective marker (without 3" area) - Option 2
    -- Show if a unit is actually toe-on the objective - Option 3
    -- Show that Red holds the objective - Option 4
    -- Show that Blue holds the objective - Option 5
  • Each updated objective marker’s collider - compared to the markers in the AoS table - now has a less obtrusive collider. I.e. your models will wobble a lot less when placed on them.
  • Under the bags is a brief overview of the battleplan - Likely not all that useful, it's super small, and i've not used it personally
Battle Tactics (purple bag)
Location needs updating for better UX. - Right now it's on the blue side under the Battle Tactics section of Blue-side table.

Click 'Place' to activate.

  • Added tokens to Tactics (the pink circles) that need to call out specific units/terrain. They have arrows, they're handy!
  • Added on/off buttons for;
    -- Seize the Centre - you'll see a centre marker appear on the board.
    -- Take the Flanks - you'll see markers appear on the flanks showing where you need to toe-in to score.
    -- ORDER: Reclaim the Realms - easily see the 4 table quarters.
  • Visual updates to better show the Grand Alliances in their section.
  • Dyslexic Mode (extra small bag under general Battle Tactics)
    -- I added this feature as a way to quickly digest the text for battle tactics. There's also a key for what each colour means. It's certainly helped me, however, it would be good to have some feedback.
    -- Worth also noting that there are a few objects that when hovered over, give details on what the rules mean. I have checked to ensure i've got these right, but if they truly are wrong let me know.
Scoreboard Upgrades bag
This isn't hard coded into the current scoreboard. I honestly don't know how to do that, or even if it can be done using the bag delivery system that is core to this Mod. I would love to work with the table owners to see if we can make these upgrades implemented into the actual scoreboard, as it would certainly make the UX better for everyone.

  • You can now add your and your opponent's names into the board.
  • You can note down the battleplan that was selected.
  • Added a "Who went first" checkbox
  • Added Underdog checkbox
  • Added 'sources' of scoring. To better segment where points are coming from. This took longer to solve than it may appear.
  • Added a built-in tutorial, to help walk people through how the upgrades work.
  • Added a copy of the Battleplan PDF to either player's side - so that you can ALT over them and read the battleplan without moving your camera.
CAUTION: the battleplan scoring doesn't auto-fill the original board's Score Total at the bottom. Ensure that any battleplan points are manually added at the bottom. - Again i have no way of being able to change this or the coding.


Thanks for taking the time to try this Mod.
Thanks to the TTS community for all the Mods that were used in order to make this Mod. I'll get a shortlist added here at some point.
