So i havent played any missions other than kill. So im trying to make about a dozen different markers, and i wanted to show what ive got so far and what you think. and ask if there are specific ones id need to make or just what i want?

I like 'em. Very nice "Supply Crate" setup.

I like it. It's nice when an objective has a visual "meaning" to it. Makes the game feel more realistic.

Very good job! Another one you might want to try is the "wounded pilot" variety. That's one of my favorites, especially if used in conjunction with some crashed vehicle terrain.

Oh yeah I'll try the pilot too, I had plans on making a generator or two, some machines, and anything else I can think of with my bit of bits.

few more markers i made.

Great stuff!!

I like the "power generator" one made out of bases..very clever.

the only critique would be to make the containers more "tau"ish-- maybe round crates or smooth edges?

I stole the idea from someone else who did the generators and added a little more to it to my liking. and as for making it more round, i know i was trying to find as much round and aerodynamic looking but all i had was a few tau bits and lots of necron bits.

Ohh no bro what i meant was make the ammo crates more round.. I LOVE the power generator!!

And by no means was it a serious criticism, just a little feedback! :-)

ooh the crates, i wasnt thinking of those, yeah i didnt have anything i could make it round, i could try to add some greenstuff on the edges. and no i appreciate input, thats why i posted them in the first place. Ill have to experiement and try to think how to make a circular crate or something like this? http://www.casetechnology.com/ista/images/ATAcases1.jpg but larger and make them blend together between corners, make it kinda flow together?

Last ones. The building im not sure if i want to use it as a marker or just some terrain, I was just kinda throwing stuff on, but curious what you think. But the guy i was trying to do an escape pod kinda thing that crashed down (will need to do more detail to show the crash, damage, holes, probably cut some part of it off etc...) but im hoping some people can give me some suggestions on it, what to take off add on to make it look a little more like a crashed escape pod.

I really like the supply crates and the little building looks cool kinda like a little communications relay station or something cool like that.

How did you make those?

both the crates and the building i used Jumbo Popsicle sticks (http://www.amazon.com/Jumbo-Natural-Color-Sticks-CK-367601/dp/B0009XTX24), regular Popsicle sticks, and some square toothpicks. The toothpicks i cut the ends and used a combination of those for the walling and the toothpicks as reinforcements on the back sides of the building and in places so that the jumbo sticks overlap as neatly as i could. then just added bits i had. the door and top vent were pieces i had left over from my Central Processing Data Building Terrain (http://www.miniaturescenery.com/ProductPage.asp?Code=SCF2SH)

I love the Tau markers. What size bases are you using?

I am assuming 40mm?

Yup 40mm
