I have dead/wounded men for Disrupted, dead horses for Fragmented (I already had the latter around anyway for use as 'Blown cavalry' markers in Horse & Musket games). Dead man and horse for Routing.
Figures look much better than counters, IMO - a lesson from Fire & Fury, which started the trend of making rules look great and making the table look good, too.
For official colors for tokens

Some of the local guys leave the commander in the rear, but mark him with a different color. Looks quite nice and is clearer. Especially when knights or cav are takign casualties and in funny positions fighting to flank etc.bayouwars2001 wrote: also, instead of placing the commander's base in the front rank (which due to its 40mm displacement sometimes creates other "visual problems"), I have painted a few individual flag/banner bearers that can be easily placed on the front rank base to show the presence of the commander without having to displace the rear ranks to make room. I then remove the 40 mm base until such time as the commander can and does leave the BG as per the rules at which time he reverts back to the original 40 mm base.

Well I am not really keen on tokens as they don't appeal visually. I often play without but most seem to prefer tokens.
I ma prepping now for the Challenge and likly to take a medieval army for a change. So I thout I might do some markers that I find more visually attractive.:
2p and 1p coins put to good use for bases with cork on them -all flocked to the green colour of my other bases. Then pins with coloured heads for ease of picking up with medieval plags on them. I figure I can then just change the pins for Roman once with roman banners etc. Then I have markers that make my armylook even nicer when its losing - which is some consellation when it happens.
here's 2 pics of what they look like on the table:
