I wanted to print some tokens for a boardgame which need different colors. I don't need that much colored filament. I came across that set while searching for cheap filament. Is that a good deal or would it be better to just buy full spools, even if I dont know what to use it for?

Nah you're fine. People use PLA prints for Warhammer terrain and paint them like anything else - spray primer and acrylics, usually, but oils can get you really cool results if you've got more patience.

For tokens, just spray paint is fine. But you'll want some clear coat to seal it, so the paint doesn't chip off while they're being handled a bunch.
