Can anyone recommend something to track CP on?
Ideally some sort of dial for me and an opponent. I had a quick ebay check but haven't found anything decent.

These exist in a number of board games, but I'm not entirely sure I've seen many commercially available.

Many laser-cut companies have generic dials, and maybe a company like Litko will do some?

Looks like they have quite a few?

I like the hexy shop ones. Go to hexy.store and enter battle tracker in the search bar.

If you play X-wing, the huge ships have a two-double-dial counter.

Turn the top part over and stick on GW transfers.

If you end up looking at 3D printables, shout unless you have access to a printer.

I just use dice.

A dollar bag of chips or stones from a general hobby store.

I've known too many people that roll their 'counter' dice.

**Elbows**

I use a set of self-designed tokens. I have a couple different sets which I can use for stratagem indication/spell indication/CPs and hidden deployment, etc.

We usually use a D12 or 20 so that's never happened.

Ttcombat sell wound marker dials that would work pretty well. I find them a little too big for tracking wounds but they would be fine for CP's

I have one set of dice that I use exclusively as Command Points because I'm certain they're cursed and I'm afraid to actually roll them.

I like to use quarters and literally spend them.

**Eldarain**

One of the MTG life trackers?

Ive been using D10s but its too easy to knock it or accidentally pick it up thinking its a wound counter as I use d10s as wound counters for ma bigger stuff.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Lots of great stuff on Etsy > https://www.etsy.com/search?q=40k%20tracker

We bought our KT sets from a UK seller, trying to find their store again ...

**Argive**

I ended up ordering one off Etsy. Really surprised how hard these are to find.

Just had a thought though, surely there's an app version for tracking VP, CP & round somewhere?

bit late to the party but Art of War do this

Oh hey! That's where we got our KT counters and CP/VP trackers from. Very much recommend, as the counters are straight up acrylic versions of the junky paper GW ones.

it's a little unwieldy but hammerhead games has this https://www.hammerheadgames.net/product-page/competitive-game-tracker

I use poker chips. I have even used the water slide transfers to make them army specific. I figure Cps are currency you spend and earn (5+) during the game so I why not toss them in like a poker game.

**Elbows**

This is a picture of the token sets I use. I designed four different colours (for different armies/players), but they're pretty efficient.

Basically you get the six objectives with a blank and numbered side, a bunch of spell and strategy tokens just to indicate who has been targeted by a spell or stratagem (green side = positive buff, red side = negative penalty), a few weapon impact tokens for....weapons that have a special rule once they wound a creature (like the Leviathan's autocannons which impart a morale penalty, etc.), then simple CP tokens which are numbered on the back if you want to use the same tokens for hidden deployment --- a rule which is rarely used in GW scenarios, but....doesn't hurt.

Toss a set in a small baggy and shove it in my dice box.

I got these from Etsy. There's a variety of wound dial / point tracker widgets on there, in laser cut MDF like these, or acrylic plastic. Some are simple single-value dials, others have multiple dials in the same piece, tracking command points, victory points, turn count, etc.

I like these rather than dice for the most part. When I have to use a die for a wound counter there's always the risk it's going to be knocked over, or left behind when a model moves, or scooped up with other dice, etc.
