Wargame Tools - Deployment and Objective Markers

Wargame Tools - Deployment and Objective Markers

The Becoming a Hunter Contest!

In a world where War is Eternal and the future is grim and dark we hunt for our targets! In Space Marines 2 you have objectives that you need to hold. In the Tabletop Wargame of War-hammer 40k you also have objectives to fight for, to hunt for! These Objective markers represent the objective markers in the world of War-hammer 40k more closely to be used in the Tabletop Wargame version of the game. 

Designers notes:

I found that the available Objective Marker Fields for War-hammer 40k are without any imagination. Just simple circle with a cross. This is by no means a stab at those designs, but to me it felt something was missing. 
So I decided to make some simple Objective Marker Fields with some interesting textures for a better immersion of the location and environment that these Objective Maker Fields are supposed to represent. In these models the layering technique of 3D printed is used as a feature to create these textures. While I was at it, I decided to make some simple Objective Markers and some Deployment Zone Markers to make a complete set to start a game. A one stop shop to to say. I made a box for it all and now I find it super handy to bring with me to different games!

These Deployment Zone Markers don't have any text on it so they can double as Markers on the field while in play. For instance to place after measuring to keep a visual while measuring something else. Or something else like a zone or other field in play, free for you to decide!

Here are the dimensions of the components:

And some examples of different colors with the same files!

Print Instructions

Everything can be printed without AMS (except the Box Lid if you want the logo on it) by simply switching filament at the right layer heights. The designs are made with 0.2mm layer height in mind. 

These are the layers to switch filament if you don't use an AMS:

• Objective Marker Tokens
  1. First Color - Layers 1-11
  2. Second Color - Layers 12-14
  3. First Color again - Layers 15-17
  4. Third Color - Layers 18-20
• Objective Marker Fields
  • 3 colors
    1. First Color - Layers 1-5
    2. Second Color - Layers 6-8
    3. Third Color - Layers 9-10
  • 4 colors

  • 

    1. First Color - Layers 1-4
    2. Second Color - Layer 5
    3. Third Color - Layers 6-8
    4. Fourth Color - Layers 9-10
• Deployment Zone Markers
  1. First Color - Layers 1-3
  2. Second Color - Layer 4-5
  3. First Color again - Layer 6-8
  4. Third Color - Layer 9-10

Happy Printing!

And I hope to see this set to be useful at many tables!
