MrFlutterPie Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hey guys I need a bit of help here. I purchased these nice metal pins and I want to turn them into objective markers 1-6 for Maelstrom games (my area plays Maelstrom a lot) Here is a pic with a 40mm base included for scale. My hope is to keep the objectives on the 40mm base. http://i.imgur.com/hnxSZuu.jpg Thanks for the help and purge on!

Naminé Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Are you asking how to number them differently for ease of use, or are you asking what to do with them in terms of themed objectives (things such as banners, relics, etc)? If it's numbers you could add transfer fleurs in the space around the main pin: the number of transfers equals the number of the objective.

Aqui Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Perhaps some bitz from a scenery kit would be good for the base, with the Fleur at the top. Not sure the best way to number them in that case, unless you add a number of helmets/skulls/other grisly bits to denote the number Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321070-sister-themed-maelstrom-objective-marker-help/#findComment-4353503 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally asking for numbering help but now that you mention it I'll listen to any and all suggestions Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321070-sister-themed-maelstrom-objective-marker-help/#findComment-4353517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GogglesDown Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Secret weapon sells spent bolter casings, array them on the bases so that one casing is objective 1, two casings are objective 2 etc. You could use candles, skulls, purity seals, or whatever else suits your fancy instead.

Naminé Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 In that case the most important thing is a prominent indicator of the number each objective has, so the simpler the better in practice. It helps to be able to spot the number at a glance, and usually from overhead. The best things I've seen are banners with numbers on both sides, themed bases with a number of objects on them related to the relevant number, or just large, numbered discs.

Blackarmor_redtruth Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Those are sharp Aquilanus. Keep them simple and easy to read. A simple base like the above, solid gold for the aquilla and then either red or white dots/stripes/markings, starting with one and building up to six.
