Sooooooo peoples, how goes your objectives?

Got my bases today!

::scampers to attic to start on base for Objective::

wooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

seriously though, great news!!!

Alright I'm entering!

I'm just finishing them and using the brand new GW objective kerjiggers to make them look cool and more importantly - very usable in game! ie roll the obj dice and place it on the objective.

Good to have you on board! But remember we need a WIP picture for you to get judged fully

Oh noes! I missed that part! I only took a few WIP pics. Well here they are:

WIP

Here's the "Inspiring" one with a wounded Angels of Absolution (the chapter I play) Marine. This is before I decided to use the GW Objective Marker set and I had a banner on there instead. Scraping it off was a PITA.



Here's the collection of all 6, still WIP. I haven't added the washes, snow, some extra basing, or a couple highlights - or a clearcoat!


Sorry for bad quality - they are basically "oops" pictures since I totally forgot to get real WIP shots. :(


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Aaaaand here's the finished products! I did them rather quickly, so I could start using them straight away! I'm sure I'll get clobbered in the competition as a result, but hey - I'll be playing with them tomorrow!

So the whole theme is meant to go with both of my armies. I play the Angels of Absolution (a 2nd founding Dark Angels successor) and I'm slowly starting Imperial Guard. The AoA is based with rocks/slate and snow, while the IG are based in urban rubble and snow. They blend nicely and I used both basic 40mm bases and urban rubble resin 40mm bases. I like this size for objectives as they can go about anywhere and don't cover too much space, yet still allow some cool stuff to be shown. So far it seems everybody else thinks so too!

So first my favorite - the wounded marine. He's fighting his last, and you either are going to save him, get his gene-seed, or recover the information he's retrieved about the fallen! He's meant to be in the Inspiring category.


Next up is a console of some sort. It's clearly technological and important! Maybe it's inspiring, maybe it got left behind, or maybe it's just a supply! Who knows!? You can see it with the objective dice being used.



Fuel is always important! Here's some barrels that armies can fight over - they both need the supplies. Once you throw the dice on, it looks pretty neat.



This mystery container got left behind! The armies need to retrieve it to protect, retrieve, destroy, or use its contents.


Here's some things you'll want access to: a teleport homer and a vox-caster! Call in reinforcements!


The ammunition can never be ignored. These supplies are something everybody wants.



And here's all 6 of them together! I made 6 because it's the max amount of objectives that can be in a game. Also there were 6 of those sweet servo-skull-dice-holder dealies.


I hope you guys like them! I'll be paying attention to see what you guys come up with too!

Wow! Those are fantastic!

Dang it, ok I am in!

Well We'll do our damnedest to judge as best we can Joey, so fear not

Count me in... even tho milicant 'stole' my plans. I'm sure I can do something differently similar...

Haha, well remember peeps, theres no such thing as an original idea, just an idea thats been messed with. Also, remember that even if your markers are similar, judging also comes down to painting, modelling, and a few other things too!!!



It ain't over till the Norn-Queen sings

Hehe sorry man. It's a good idea - like I said I'm sure I'm far from the only one who has/will do it!

I am not seeing enough objectives

cormadepanda wrote:I am not seeing enough objectives

This troubles me...

Workin on it... workin on it...

Question tho: Must I use round bases, or could I also use square ones, or even cavalry bases?

Well, how about this one? Also working on the missile rack.

I've got my second one figured out and am currently puzzling out a way to mount Da Prospekta on the ridiculously crowded bases I bought. lol

Third one will be the "Left Behind" one but I just gotta dig up some ammo crates that fit upon a 40mm base. This one will be ammo that some Grots have accumulated but got left behind during a surge of WAAAGH! from Da Boyz. I was inspired by some Grot crew models I got from FW. Should be pretty cool.

I have run to the problems of lack of parts

Well, it is only the 6th of the month.... you gots time!

Erm... good question!

I think its best to use bases that fit the system of choice... so if it's 40k/Necromunda round bases would be better.

still a bit sidetracked... i have to finish my UFO and also i started work last week... that still has me a bit disorganized... but i hope to start working on the markers around this weekend...i WILL enter the needed amount... kicking and screaming
