Thanks.

^^ lol! I contest this objective! *Mashes button* *again* *again*

**Psyker_9er**

Finally got the pics uploaded.

BEHOLD! INTERACTIVE OBJECTIVE MARKERS!!!

In the front is an ammo stash, hard drive jumpers = gun clips; the long skinny things = land mines; and the roundish thingys in the back are grenades.

The brown square base = a communication station. The black box on the front of it has little "security access cards" that can be pulled out and taken over to the larger green based objective right next to it and the cards fit in to those silver and gold/brass slots to be scanned

In the back, the last and smaller green based, is a remote communication beacon. WITH GLORIOUS BUTTON PUSHING ACTION!!! No, it wont light up...No, it wont make any cool noises or sound effects....BUT YOU CAN PUSH THE BUTTON!!

OP here - I now have some more, erm, non-standard objective markers.

A friend gave me these girls:

So I've painted 'em up to use as objective markers. Commence speculation about why the sisters of Battle are so keen to capture slave girls...

**Cevyr**

I took just regular bases primed them and then used transfers of my legion Emblem onto them with the aquelia.

**The Ghoma**

I use a big pile of melta-bombs, a marine who's missing his legs, an arm, and is in "last stand mode" with a bolt pistol (in some games he's allowed to shoot). Otherwise i just use some random flags that come with marine kits (i hate heraldry).

**Terminus**

I use the ears of my vanquished opponents.

**Ailaros**

I use some sort of a memorial:

and a flag on a flag pole

The best part is that the flag is easily attachable/detachable so I can have the flag run up or not depending on if I'm currently holding the objective.

**Borkin**

Piles of choppaz/orky bits on spare bases.

Rescue, not capture. I use one of those as well in my SoB army. In non-objective games she joins the Inquisitor as a Mystic or Familiar. In day-to-day gaming I just use the GT objective markers they passed out a few years back. For my Lizardman IG, I built some just for that army:

**Gitsplitta**

For a variety of armies...

Have a couple of more that I've never photographed...

The most recent one in-process...

**eldarbgamer13**

I use a muffin shped candle (smells delicious) and space marine sheild generators from the Battle for Macragge set.

**Tyranid Horde**

I use Nid spore things, a wrecked tank with more spore things around it, A guardsman getting consumed by rippers, Asurman statue thing from the Dire Avenger frame, Cigar tubes as a comms relay, tennis ball tube, and finnally, a rock from Mt.Vesuvius.

**Ribon Fox**

Here are two of mine for me IG

The first is for that hot something in the mornning

This is for their Porn conection, a moblie internet port

I really should get round to finishing them at some point

**samuraikid**

What about an interactive 'searchlight'?
Oil drums on a plasticard base are my objectives

**Lewa2321**

I put the Macragge beacon and shield generators on bases.

I also built an objective with a TV (with satellite) and fridge, powered by a portable generator, but it looks kinda crappy.

**jwhallam**

I've made a ruined SM bike (out of an old one which got stood on) and am currently in the middle of making a crashed landspeeder one. Planning on using another load of my spare bits to make some sort of ammo dump too.

**NoToTheMan**

mine
simple bases painted ultramarine blue and a decal slapped on there

Can anyone guess what army I play?

Space Wolves.

Meanwhile, on my end, I use 40mm bases covered with golden Necron Scarabs. It's a race to see who can squish more bugs at the end of the game!
