Objective Markers have arrived

This morning I took delivery of the objective markers for Starsmash...every entrant will get a set of 6 to keep. On one side they have the numbers 1,2,2,3,3,4 (for "The Scouring" mission), and the other side has the Spiky Club logo.

They have come out really well... huge thanks to Rob Lang for the graphic design work.

Poker chips make great objective markers...they have a good weight to them, and are robust enough to live in a dice bag, as well as being the perfect size (the same as a 25mm base).
