For the arrow supply markers, I've just used a sheaf of Perry arrows (the ones from the Agincourt English set will do just as well as these ones from the WOTR set), and made a small micro-dice shaped recess to take the die that indicates the remaining arrow supply.
Luckily, as a one-time avid collector and player of the Pirates collectible card game, I have thousands of these tiny dice in a whole range of colours. (Although to stay true to my mantra of not littering the tabletop with bits of garish plastic, I'll probably just stick to the muted black ones with white spots).


I use different coloured dice to denote levy, retinue and veterans...

and....they look gorgeous

Neat ideas yet again, I think something similar will work for Clash of Spears rather than their MDF tokens.
