As it says on the can!
Also, if you can, tell us what it is and what you used to make it.
I'll start it off.

A shrine commemorating a fallen Dreadnaught. Made with a Space Marine biker banner pole, a Dreadnaught sarcophagus, purity seals, Space Marine head, a Bolter and some stones.


An Imperial Guardsmen memorial. Made with a lasgun, Space Marine combat knife, and IG helmet, a purity seal and some stones.


An Abandoned sniper's post. Made with a SM scouts sniper rifle with its stand, ane SM scout binocular, a satalite dish from the Sm vehicle frame, a purity seal, a skull from AOBR frame and some stones.

Those are some very nice objective markers I like the abandoned scout post its very detailed.

Had this thing for a long time, still get smiles out of it

Wow very nice, might start working on one myself.

Holy christ those are some awesome objectives the scout post is really cool! And the fallen Marine who stil won't give up his life and his weapon are Awesome

Not one of mine, but it's just funny how this ended up in game. The "Objective Marker" is under the Drop Pod there.

A Marine getting crushed by a drop pod that makes an awesome objective.

Nice work on this thread, definately inspires me to make my own markers!

"Umm. I'm thinking I get at least 'contested' for this one."

Wow everything looks great man well done loving the dread plate!

Here is a selection. Sorry about the fuzzy.

Ork bitz.


SoB stuff; vehicle bitz, an Imagifers' reliquary, and the Shrine of the Holy Hair-Care Products


Resin bases for Chaos


Black Reach pylons for Marines or IG


Black Reach for Tyranids (I don't play 'Nids, but they were easy)

my Dark Eldar Objective Markers

Hehe, here's one of mine, still need to finish it tho, my ork-clan totem,
tha Mutha Punchaz

Eldar


Tau


Just realised I don't really take pictures of my objective markers.
Tau is kind of a one off thing so far, but if I remember right the Eldar have 2 60mms, a couple 40mms and a few 25mms.

How did you get the churned up snow effect on this tau marker?
It would look good on my space wolves.

Used GaleForce Nine's snow flock, though any powder based one should be able to do it. Then used this tutorial to help get the texture.

Only difference I did was I used tweezers like the below instead of toothpicks.

Wow guys these are just awesome! Definitely inspired me to start making my own! To the bitz box!

Here are mine for my Marines

The 2nd one with the ork being stabbed, it'd look SOOOO much more awesome if the Marine had a Jump Pack...

Otherwise it looks like he stabbed him and whilst the ork is falling he was lifted up, polevault style

A fuel dump I slapped together. I originally made the base for a Killa kan, but decided I'd rather have an official one. Worked perfectly for this, though.

This is epic... How did you make the intestines?

My Ork objectives, a gift from Aurelia (my wife's account name on Dakka) for the 2010 40K doubles tournie.





She did two Deathskull themed and two Goff themed, (my doubles partner had Goffs that year) plus the neutral Squig objective all the Orks are worried about fetching ammo from. Need a grot as bait while they collect the rounds.

AS you may see, I like Pabst Blue Ribbon, just like my troops!

Good man!

Through the wonders of threadcromancy.... why start a new topic when it already exists and just needs a little boost?? Anyway, since it's a P&M show-off thread I figure it's OK.

I'm a big objective marker junkie. I just love making them.

First, some fun objectives I made to give away at my son's birthday party last year...

Orks:


Tau:


Imperial:


Chaos: (relic helm)


Chaos: (alter)



Few for my Bad Moon ork army...

Statue of my War Boss:


The War Boss's pet squig:


"Da spook 'ut": (wierdboy hang-out)



Then a couple for friends...

Salamander alter:


Nurgle alter: (with old-style SW sacrifice)



My eldar objective...



And my Mantis Warrior objectives...

First, a suite of objectives... the two on the right were mode by Solar_lion and inmygravenimage respectively.


Wounded marine:


Corrupted Mantis Warrior: (chaos marine was done by Gathering Storm, base by me)


Hope you like them. Love to see what others have done.

Cool Stuff!

Here is my favorite objective.

Passed out Wolf Priest. Mead...Mmmmm!


-Bad-Sam-

LOL! That's great Sam!

The only way to make that more epic would be to have his hand in a bucket of water.

Here's my objective markers for my Thousand Sons army





Front



Back

My Ork OBJ markers

I've seen you post those before on your blog Gir, sweet...

Nothin' wrong with simple kaiser... perfect fit for your army too.

My Ultramarines OBJs

The only one I have a picture of.

I remember that figure!! The two guys on the outside originally had drinking jugs...

I plan on making about 3 objective markers, the first is done.

The weapons cache.

Sweet. Really nicely detailed knightly... really shows the care you took with it.

I plan to have better pictures, but here are my three Tau objectives. The two on the left and right are my first attempts at objectives and the middle was an extra beacon from my stealthsuit squad that I didn't need.

Sharper pics would be great, but even blurry... they look good.

That is one awesome Ammo Cache OM, Knightly!

I love these things. They add such flare to an army that matches.

Haha! Brilliant!

I never thought I'd see this thread again! Great markers everyone, especially the passed out Wolf Priest GREAT idea.

here are mine, they are wonderful, but they do get the point across...

Some nice work here. The nurgle altar is particularly cool.

My Tau objective:


and some Guard objectives:

This thread makes me want to build some better objectives for reals. I currently only use the BigGunz dice for our objectives, as thats about the only thing they are good for

Like that tau objective. Get some paint on those guard objectives and you'll be all set!

after seeing everything decided to throw together this relay/communications objective...maybe whoever controls it doesnt need to to scatter for deepstrikes

Very nice polari. Interesting base too.

The base came in the gw basing kit

Pretty much all of these are really awesome looking! Some are more inventive than others, but some of the simpler ones like the ones made for sisters seem more universal.

Sorry for the crap pics, but when I finish I want to have five objective markers that are each a marine from a chapter I don't care for desecrated by chaos worshippers.

Wow seeing all of these cool Objective markers has made me want to make some much better ones (that is much better than my existing, not much better than yours lol, but i can atleast try )

So far all i have is this :s



Still needs a bit of work though i think now looking back at it.

Pools closed for Gaunts.

Nice DSS, how'd you do the water effect?

With the suitably named water effect and purple ink mixed. In layers.

That was fun to wait to dry....

I believe you mean "Mjod"

Hello All!

My objective markers for my Space Marine Legion of the Damned Army.

Also a magnetized " LEGIO" Turn Counter to keep track of which game turn it is.


D.

Oh man, I just love all of them but especially the turn counter. Fantastic idea!

Here are the sharper pictures of my objectives. I didn't redo the one that came with the stealthsuit squad however.

I really like the gizmo on top... is it anything specific or just a cool Tau looking thing?

It is the Ion cannon that comes with the Tau Hammer Head. It is an option in place of the Rail gun.

The mold lines... The kill me! It's so good, but could be amazing without the lines!

We're doing a table for gamesday based on an expedition into a necron tomb ship. Here's an objective marker of sorts.




A few more...

Those are fantastic Digits! Wow!

Brilliant Obj Markers!
Love the Guard ones.

Yeah, those Guard ones are sweet.

Not really an objective but a crappy wip turn counter

the servo skull rotates around the shields with the numbers 1-6 on them based on the turn

So, what's the thing supposed to be? Looks like a baby alien.

the floating thing....I assume.... Its a Servo Skull

Digits those are amazing! :O

Is there somewhere I can see more pics of that necron ship?

Sure

Link below, saying that, come and see us at Gamesday UK. Don't forget to say hello though.

http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7485856/1/

Nice objective markers Digits and that Necron ship is awesome. I really like your guardsmen that are in that link, where did you get their heads from?

If you check my sig link, there are details in there (towards back quarter of plog though, unless you want to read it all! lol)

Thanks, I think I'll read it all, I really like the look of your guard.
EDIT; Oh CRAP it's 312 pages!

3rd

Ooo I like the ork still!

@Digits.

Coming from you, that is a compliment of note.

Thank you sir!

Here's one I prepared earlier:

Nice work!

Catches the Grimdark perfectly.

If I were you, (and in no way are my skills even close!) I would dirty the casualty up a bit, he looks a little clean-cut to me.

But it still looks great how it is.

It's quite old, pre discovery of weathering powders, here's an even older one:

Ace work, and if you've recently discovered weathering powders, I'd love to see more of your work!

Ork player here...




I also have a booze still, but I haven't finished painting it yet...

LOL! Those are great!

Those are really nice CT... love the shell holes in the dread and the feel of the orky objective.

Gitsplitta wrote:Those are really nice CT... love the shell holes in the dread and the feel of the orky objective.

QFT, +1 from me too!

@alarmingrick: those are some clever objectives! Also, they could probably be used as HWT if you needed them to.
Is that the Sentinel missile launcher?

Great, great thread. I'll post mine later but didn't want to forget to mention what a good idea this thread was.

I have seen some very nice objective points in this thread! I get a really good inspiration from all those pictures, thank you for that guys.

Don't have objectives yet, only started playing WH40K this year and I am still working on my army. But I want to get the Aegis Defence Line or Imperial Strongpoint from GW to use the quad-gun to make some TL Autocannons for my Dreadnoughts. The base which the quad-gun is mounted on is useless then, so I am planning to use that for a objective point, to paint some Imperial HQ model like a statue and then put it on that quad-gun base.

Maybe a nice tip for other people, who hadn't thought of it



EDIT: before I get any question, I did not paint the quad-gun from the picture I linked! It's just to show what I mean.

Brother-Captain Dilandau wrote:The base which the quad-gun is mounted on is useless then, so I am planning to use that for a objective point, to paint some Imperial HQ model like a statue and then put it on that quad-gun base.

The other thing you can do, if you have the bitz, is mount some lascannons or heavy bolters or whatever on it and call it a Tarantula turret; but it does work nice as scenery as well, whichever you think you'd get more use out of.

Wow, these are all great!
I dont have the skills, but I'd love to see an eldar aspect shrine as an objective.

BHhahahahahahahaha Reminds me of an R2D2 but less rounded and more im going to PWN your face...

Loving all the creations in this thread.

Here is one I made a while ago. I usually use it as a decorative terrain piece, but he can function as an objective too since he is not too big.

here is another one.

the blended painting and drybrushing took me AGES!







Just Kidding. Some wee beastie was harmed to make this objective marker. Tasted delicious too. . .

*chuckle*

Nice work all, love to see all the creativity here-a-bouts!

That looks gross as hell, and I mean that as positively as possible. Looks very alien and slimy. How did you do the vomit\phlegm\slime in the middle?

Ouze wrote:That looks gross as hell, and I mean that as positively as possible. Looks very alien and slimy. How did you do the vomit\phlegm\slime in the middle?

Thanks.
The slime is PVA glue mixed with a bit of white paint, and the slimy threads are a transparent general cheap hobby glue painted white after drying. I then glossy varnished it when it was all dry again.

Space Hulk

Resurrecting this thread from the depths to bring you my new Orky objective. Also I want to see more of yours...

A Giant Squiggoth Turd.











"How can it be an Objective?" you say.

"Sure it can be an Objective" I say...

For all these armies the motive for capturing it can be; (Imperium, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Tau, Chaos Orks) - "Squiggoth ate my favourite *Insert Commanders Favourite thing here*".

For Necrons and Chaos Deamons (except nurgle of course ) I'm actually not quite sure. Help me out here...

For Tryanids- It's a delicacy, the finest Biomass around!

I guess I'm living up to my username...

Wow, thread-necro much?

Dude, that's alot of crap!

Nice stuff here.

So, I've got two that I've made myself for my guard army.

The first is a generic memorial marker:







And the other one I did was a flag.



The neat part about it is that it's a flag pole with a warped-plasticard flag that's really easy to just clip onto the pole. That way I can leave the flagpole empty, and then attach the flag when I take the objective.





... and with them both:

Having seen the brilliant ideas for objective markers here, I'm inclined to make a few of my own. How would I go about making the base for one, and where do you get things like crates and barrels from?

@ NimbleJack3-You can get barrels and crates from GW with their Battlefield accessory set. Or you could get them much cheaper from some place online... I can't think of anywhere specific so you could just Google it. As for bases you can use any GW bases which for objectives are usually 40mm & 60mm bases. If you want to make your own just use thick card, MDF, plasticard stuff like that.

I particularly like the fact that you felt you needed to show us the turd from multiple angles... well played!

Here's my Ork/Grot objective.

And a Close up view.


The grots are from FW and the base is from the urban basing kit.

Also, That squiggoth turd...

I love this one. Were you a Jarhead in real life?

All of these are just amazing! Mine feels a little bland now... It's an objective marker for my dark angels army.

Weakling Eldar.....

My in-progress markers, the one on the left is an unprimed Tau Firewarrior lying face down.

[Edited because I posted in this thread already]

This stuff is awesome.. keep this thread alive so I can post my creation in August!

Some of this stuff is genus

These markers are awesome, please forgive me for adding my own


Biker with important information:


Rocket Turret, pre-prepared, just add co-ordinates:

Here are a couple of groups that i have for my space marines. These can be found in my gallery as well along with a few others. My 'Nid objectives i'll post up later

Cheers all!

Okay, I'm game for this thread . What isn't painted was completed for other folks needs...

Various eldar objectives:



Eldar with banner:



Various IG markers:










Necron LED powered crystal:



Necron Data baord:



Orky markers:



Dark Angels (various):











... and lastly, Tau (first couple are LED powered):















I'll scrounge up some pics of more soon!

Im loving these objective markers, well done everyone!!

BITZJUNKIE your moniker is an apt one.

Some great stuff you have done with your markers: tons of atmosphere, like mini dioramas.

@CT Gamer: Many thanks - everything has a story .

I already have some good ideas from the huge amount of objectives outside of what I've done too, so keep the thread going all!


@Aduro : best objective shot - EVAR!! I almost want to see a pair of curled legs in black-and-white stocking sticking out from under that drop pod. VERY Wizard of Oz then...

I have some more going up in the next couple days for WM and Malifaux!

Looks to me like the Ork stabbed the marine and while being hoisted into the air the marine stabbed the ork back.

This is an objective I made for my adeptus custodes army, its the emperor's gold throne...

ironicsilence wrote:This is an objective I made for my adeptus custodes army, its the emperor's gold throne...

Shouldn't there be a Servitor holding the TP roll?!

My first plan was to have the TP roll being held by a servo skull, however I ran into some timing issues in getting the marker completed for an event so I ended up having to use a paper clip. I'll likely go back at some point and finish it

Obligatory 'pile up heads' with a bonus twist


And a chaos summoning circle/altar. This pic is a little darker than ideal though :(

Thank god!
One would hate to think of the Emperor of Mankind having to not only unroll, but tear his on toilet paper!

Loving the Golden Throne!


More objectives as promised:


Malifaux Supply Drone:




Menoth Objectives:




Cygnar High Voltage Coils:





... more soon!

Do the coils light up? They look like they could.

Yes.

Although these do not light up, they can be lit with LEDs. The design also allows for a piece of colored rod to be placed down the middle to light up the orb at the top .

A few I did while I was working in Iraq -



Long Cairn



The Devil Baby - sitting on a chunk of one of Saddam's Bunkers.



The Stone God - I think the finger prints add character



And finally, the Luggage

There's some great stuff in this thread, colour me inspired. I shall be raiding my bits box at the earliest opportunity and posting the results when they are finished.

Idle hands - even in Iraq! Looking really good

Is the devil baby completely hand sculpted?

Makes me wish my Gaming club used custom objectives.
We just use tank traps.

BITZJUNKIE wrote:Idle hands - even in Iraq! Looking really good

Nope - its a Reaper familier figure.

I whomped up some deployable sentries for my Terranwing based on the autocannon turret and Swann's Flaming Betty from SC2

Whoa - looking spot on Flinty!

Thanks bitzjunkie, they were fun to make

@hotsauceman1 - Then raise the bar and do some of your own. Others will soon follow (also pics, or it didn't happen )

Good idea, I will look at my bits box and see what i can make.
Maybe a bolter nest, or something.

Agreed my store uses the standard objectives but they dont object to us using our own home made objectives

Wow, I'm loving Flinty's turrets as well. Solid-looking shapes, and it all fits together well. Nice job.
What do you use them for? You mentioned they're deployed in a 'Terranwing', but I haven't heard of that before.

Thanks. The base is a trimmed down Tau drone, and was the fiddliest thing to get right as I needed to smooth down a portion of the top of the drone. The flamer is a land speeder heavy flamer, the RFAC is a Dark Angels land speeder assault cannon with a trimmed down Guard autocannon barrel. The gun shields are from the Guard HW kit. The stand they are on is a trimmed down teleport homer from the Terminator box. The random fiddly bit on the back is a Tau grenade pack thats there just because there is a similar bit on the SC2 versions

I've been doing a homage to Starcraft 2 through the deployment of a heavily themed Deathwing army, hence Terranwing. P&M blog here.

Wow, I've just had a browse through some of the pictures. Nice conversions! Very good-looking miniatures.

These are mine, just made'em
I think they are good, better then tank traps.

Excellent, valuable chapter relics to be recovered. Definately more interesting (and noticeable) than tank traps Now do the hard bit and get them painted

Looking good hotsauceman1 !

Now do the hard bit and get them painted

.... but I'm with Flinty too - paint the buggers!!

Here are the two I have made after being inspired by this thread. They are painted, just need basing:
