For those of you who've made specific objective markers, as opposed to little bits of green plastic or 'this unpainted grot is my objective' - what are your markers?

Mine are reliquaries. the skull of St. Ruth the Merciless and an orrichalcum Aquila blessed by Sebastian Thor.

I use Ahriman and the actual Aspiring Sorcerers because i dont care for the Asp. Sorc. model and Ahriman is best used as an objective marker in tournies.

I have a marine doing a handstand took me ages to make and was pretty fiddly but worth it.

I also have a chicken off the Warhammer Fantasy Empire general set which is supposed to be a baby griffin but looks more like a chicken to me.

I have a custom GS sculpted Tau "Lady in the red dress" reclining on the sand.

I haven't made one yet, but I've plan on making a outhouse objective marker.

The Holy Dinosaur. Everyone wants the Holy Dinosaur.

y'know those banners on the Cadian Command Frame? I cut the hand/s off and glued them down on a base, so it looks a bit like the Strategic Points in DoW. I'm also in the process of collecting loose lasguns to pile up as an ammo store as another objective.

Oooh, good idea. I could use my million spare bolters and a few home-made crates as a weapons cache.

I use this

I have one of those little wooden Sororitas shrines as one of the markers, usually the home objective...

I use those spores on the Genestealer frame, on 40mm bases.

@Luke prowler. Hurry to the crapper! "FOR THE TOILET PAPER!"

I have three kegs of "Russbrau XXX" for one objective, and a fire hydrant for the second. I need a third, but I haven't figured out how to model a mailman yet.

Can anyone guess what army I play?

edit: Not_U, I really like yours. More serious in nature, but you packed a lot of character in that.

I have a pile of ammunition crates (and a vindicator shell) and a soldiers grave (rifle barrel first into the ground, helmet on top, purity seal on the back for balance). Thinking of a third one, but no more than that, as 4-5 objective games are something I HATE doing.

Bits of lego.

Though once I played a special game where a beer can was the objective and Telion had to shoot t.

On a 6+ he hit
On a 4+ a hole was made
On a 4+ the guardsmen near it could repair it
If that failed, on a 4+ the beer staying in the can
Finally after that the commisar gets mad.

I use some extra de warriors i had lying around. They're in cover behind some small walls/guarding a supply crate/chasing a lone guardsman with a huge knife/standing over a sm corpse.. the usual de stuff

I know it's not creative, but I use the Command Point markers from the newest incarnation of Space Hulk.

I use the little green flags.

Eldar?


I'll elaborate on my earlier post. I use a little toy dinosaur glued to a base as one of may objectives. I've been thinking about modeling a crown onto him. My other objectives include little 'two-minute' sculpts with the spare greenstuff you always seem to end up with. A snail is one of my favourites.

the Force field markers from Battle for Macragge.

pennies, green flags, Ghazkull, ibuprofin(what? the commander had a headache )

I take all the spare heads from my Chaos Marines sprues, chop any horns off, and build piles of heads on 25mm bases, with a few knives stuck into the pile and the head on the banner pole on top for good measure.

get some pics up please people

they arent stellar, but they were quick and just for fun.

I probably have the worst markers ever. I just use square bases from WHFB.

I have a Terminator teleport homer, a stash of Imperial ammunition, and a dead Guardsman for my Marines. My Orks have a pile of bullet shells and magazines next to a bosspole. Nothing too exciting, but they look decent.

Ammo and weapon piles, Soldier's grave, a couple tombstones and half a corpse hanging from a pole (Zombie parts).

Pics when I can upload some.

loving the ig helmet on the las gun

(literally just took a bunch of pics before I read this post; soon to be loaded as soon as I find that stupid cord that links to my computer)

I use the battle for Macragge Tryanid and SM stuff... That is pretty standard.

Just recently I had this really old computer that didn't work (and wouldn't be worth putting back together to make it work) that I smashed up and took all the cool little bits out of.

All kinds of little lights, buttons, wires, boards, and alot of the big chuncks of stuff I saved are magnetic so I can swap parts depending on game play. The little jumbers on the hard drives look like ammo clips, some other things I pulled off look like land mines, and I got REAL working buttons! Interactive Objective Markers!!! YOU CAN PUSH THE BUTTON!! (wont do anything, but you can still push it)

I also smashed up a sewing machine, stero equipment, and a printer. I got so much stuff I have no idea what to do with it. But I will figure it out if it is the last thing I do... Oh yes.... Objective markers will be mine!! AND THEY WILL HAVE INTERACTIVE BUTTON PUSHING GREATNESS!!
