Question: Comprehensive Essentials Monster Vault Token List?

UnknownAtThisTime

First Post
There are a few discussions on Monster Vault tokens in general, but ....

Has anyone undertaken the arduous task of listing all the specific monster tokens from the Essentials Monster Vault and posting them on line? I understand there are 10 pages of tokens, but it would be (naively and optimisticly) wonderful if someone had documented the specific tokens included. Or am I off base and simply every monster in the vault has a token and some have several?

I was thinking of:

Aboleth x 1
Dragon (red) x 1
Goblin x 8
.....
etc.....
.....
Purple Worm x 1
Roper x 1
Skeleton x 8
Zombie x 8


I must confess I am considering buying the vault largely because of the tokens. I would be nice to have this detail in hand to make the final decision.

There's at least one of almost everything. The exceptions being some kinds of minion-only monsters, and swarms. Most of the things that you would commonly use in large groups (goblins, kobolds, ogres, zombies) have multiples, and a few have more than one distinct image used on different tokens (orcs at least).

It wouldn't be too arduous to list which ones are the exceptions to "one of each"; I'll try to do that if I get some time.

But there are no aboleth in the book, and so, no aboleth tokens. Sorry.

Here's a question: Are the tokens for creature's who've already appeared in the DM Boxed set identical? In other words, are the goblins, orcs, etc in the Monster Vault the same illustrations as the Goblins, Orcs, etc in the DM box?

I would love if they were different, as having two groups of identical goblins both numbered 1-4 makes them pretty useless to use together in an encounter.

I didn't buy the DMK, so I don't know; but the tokens in MV use the images of, I think, the goblin skirmisher (the jumping dude with the spear) and hexer (funky headdress) from MM1. So you tell me :)

Almost all the others are using re-purposed MM1 artwork too; exceptions include orcs, vampires, and many of the devils.

Almost makes me wish that I ran a game that wasn't exclusively on-line, so I could take advantage of these things...

I am curious how you all might store your tokens. I was thinking of something like this:
