Title: Objectives sizes
Post by: the_trooper on March 29, 2010, 09:01:12 PM

How big should the base size of an objective be?

Rich,
       I don't think it matters as long as you and your opponent agree. However if playing a game with more than one then they should all be about the same size.

If I had to pick I'd say no smaller than a terminator base.

Cheers,
Alan

Normal infantry - terminator base seems good to me.

Bio Titan up and make no man's land an objective.

That would make for quite a bloody game.

Sounds like a pretty cool scenario.

You might consider experimenting with it.  Note, I don't think every single objective needs to be the same size.  You might try different stuff on different tables.

I just did up a couple crashed sentinels for objectives on the slightly smaller than 60mm base (epic titan base).  Couldn't fit on a 40mm but thought the theme was cool and I had a few one legged sentinels sitting around. (Thanks, Steve D!)

A while ago Steve D let me go through a bunch of bits he was throwing out.   Among them werfe broken models and such.  I figured they could be salvaged for something but what I wasn't sure.   So they collected dust for a year and when I was working on my renegades, it dawned on me how cool it would be to use them as objectives.  Sentinels are normally recon vehicles after all.

I like broken stuff and dead stuff as objectives...usually on terminator bases.

Your welcome Rich.

Rather than striving to capture bits of dead space marine, I find it more interesting and fluffy to create more dead space marines.  The 40K universe needs more dead space marines.

But that's just me.   ;)

I've got a set of six barrels, but that's hardly interesting.  I try to encourage rumors that the barrels are full of ale.
