I've created a variety of objective conversions using some extra bits and bases I have, and I'm curious what kinds of game modes everyone could play with them potentially. I'm mostly fishing for ideas.

I have created:
-A bomb (25mm)
-An energy core (25mm)
-A supply stash (25mm)
-Beacon/Comm Tower (25mm)
-Damaged Crisis Suit + Removed Arms + Injured/Dead Pilot (40mm for suit, 25mm for each arm, 25mm for injured pilot)
-Entrenched Firewarrior (40mm, see signature "Tau Firewarrior Sniper Team")

I've still got tons of bits and more bases to mess with, so any ideas for new objectives are also appreciated, but moreso trying to come up with cool game modes.

With 6th edition and mysterious objectives

You could use blank bases for unidentified
Then once identified switch them to one of your created one to signify what they do

For example
- com tower/ relay for sky fire nexus/targeting relay
- bombs for sabotaged
- power core for grav generator and such

also another easy marker would a downed drone
also the tank comander from a devil fish makes a nice objective too

Ooo I didn't think about a downed recon drone or something. I have tons of extra gun drones lying around haha.

Some sort of Shield Generation could be cool too.

(I'll post pics soon too)

Please do pictures are always good

Also other fun things is the flamer energy packs as a ammo supply dump. (If you look the plasma rifles also use the same rectangle power pack on the flamer) and god knows i have a ton of armless carbines and pulse rifles and if you’re any good with plasticard you can make extra missiles for missile pods.

The only real objective i can’t really think of making is the scatter field and how that would work or look

Scatter Field?

I also realize you could do an EMP Mine field or something using a larger 60mm base or something, just about any bit would work for a mine.

I'm also tempted to carve some custom heavy weapon defense emplacements using Tau Drones and leftover weapon bits considering how many of both you end up with lol

Assuming you are not familiar with 6th edition

There are mysterious objectives that do things when you’re near it on a d6.

The scatter field conveys a +1 to any cover save

So mabye a shield generator style item I guess

Yea we only have a 5th edition book, and even then I haven't read the game types.

For the most part we made the objectives for deco/custom game modes (such as placing a bomb and having units able to "carry" the bomb, but being unable to shoot while they do, objective is to bring it to a location, etc.)
