I just wanted to show off my brand spanking new objective markers. I started on these monday evening and they really did not take all that long. More time was spent screwing around trying to get a mask set up so I could use the air brush to spray on the emblem, than actually painting them on, had the mosquitoes not been so bad out side I am sure I could have gotten it to work with the airbrush, but after being eaten alive my frustration got the most of me I took it inside.
I made a little stencil and traced the bolt on the base then painted away. Getting a smooth finish was the most important thing for me on these as I wanted them to look somewhat like poker chips. I So I took my time and put many many layers down on these guys to make sure there was a good smooth coverage. know, I know you can get custom poker chips and they probably would have turned out looking a little more crisp but these will get the job done.
Normally I am big into theme and for the longest time I wanted to do heads on spears for my white scars. The heads of the hunted enemies line the path to their forrest monastery and are coated in platinum or silver, but my problem with this is I tend to lose focus of objectives in my games if they are not obviously objectives. I should probably rig up a way to make these blink. This should solve that problem and tie in nicely with the force I am building.
