I am playing a version of 40k that uses the core rules of Beyond the Gates of Antares or bolt action. It uses 40k scale of game and generally play around 2k points. How many pin markers would be recommended for 2 players at that size game do you think?


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

I'd say you want about 3-5 pin markers per squad (by the time they get 3, its time to start working on boosting their morale), so from what I've seen about 30 per side is a good number. FYI, the (1E) boxed set came with 50, for comparison.

It never ends well

Thanks. That helps. I ordered 4 sets of these.

That gives me 20 single pin markers and 8 3 pin markers. I am hoping in general that will be enough.
