The title says it allThe road hog has continous fire, does anyone know if they're making new minion tokens to include fire tokens?

Will they make new tokens for Mininons now that they soon have fire?

They never have before (rereleased a token set to add a new effect), so I'm guessing no.

Nope. Khador has fire effects, but no fire tokens in their set.

Probably not. They'd have to release new tokens almost every expansion book. For example, Cygnar just gained Soul tokens, new support models come out fairly often, etc.

Yeah, it just gets impractical updating it all the time. What they could do is package tokens with the models that use them rather than having one big set that gets out of date over time. But, there are still issues. How many Fire tokens do you include? There's really no upper limit to how many you might need, unlike for instance an upkeep spell token.
Back in the day, Galeforce 9 put out a new token pack for each caster. Most of the time it worked well, but some casters just didn't fit the model. Protectorate had a particularly bad time of it. The High Reclaimer didn't come with nearly enough soul tokens, and Feora didn't come with nearly enough Fire tokens. When the Testament of Menoth came out he didn't have nearly enough soul tokens either, but putting both packs together pretty much got you there. Eventually, the odd Fire tokens from every other caster's pack added up to enough to make Feora work OK too. But as long as some effects could be on dozens of models there's no perfect solution.
On the other side, people tended to get upset sometimes at having to buy caster packs with tons of duplicate tokens in them they didn't need. After just a few casters you had more Focus tokens than you could ever use for instance. Can't win either way.Currently playing: Farrow & Skorne
