JMGraham Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hey all - Ordo has done and continues to do a a lot for us, so I thought a bot of a thank-you might be in order. I was planning on designing something to donate to the Ordo folks for OFCC swag, and was going to come up with a simple 40mm resin objective marker to cast for attendees. Wanted some feedback on what folks thought looked good. ] The "free-form OF" (far left) would actually be the shape of the logo, rather than a perfect 40mm circle. The big skull and the small skull are pretty self-explanatory. The Oval OF and Circle OF are likewise self-evident. I could also do the Oval OF as a true oval, rather than an oval-within a circle. All would be carved to look like stone, same as my other objective markers: What do you think? Feel free to comment, or to vote for as many of them that you think would work. Non-Warhamster Ordites with access to this forum are welcome to vote and comment, as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I voted for small skull and circle OF (I couldn't decide between the two). If making this to be a versatile objective marker, I think a perfect circle would be the best shape. Those two would fit in best with your current objective markers, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well, couldn't decide between the two, so I made them both: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yeah, those pretty much own bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yea! Glad y'all think so. I'll cast equal amounts of each (I did 3 carvings of each version), but seeing them in resin, I like the skull the best - it will definitely be my counter of choice for the relic. Plus, nothing says Warhammer like SKULLZ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 As I know nothing about casting resin you can discount this as a dumb question. Can you have one side the skull and the other side the OFCC symbol? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Not dumb at all. You could easily make a double-sided token. The problem is that it would require pressure casting in a split mold to cast it, which requires a lot more labor and time to do then casting in an open-faced mold the way you can with one-sided things. So, for expediency and convenience's sake, I'm sticking with the one sided pieces! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fix Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I already asked and he said no. Flat-out refused, is more like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 To make the objective markers, I cut the designs out of an old cereal box with an X-acto knife (then made a mold of it, cast them in plaster, carved the plaster, and molded those for the resin). I nae cannae cut a hamster out of a cereal box with an X-acto knife. With a laser, yes, but we'll have to wait until The Foundry opens and I have access to a laser cutter. For now, simple designs only! Also, Brad can't have nice things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
