Studio Tomahawk Lay Down Battlefield Objectives For SAGA
December 13, 2018 by brennon
Studio Tomahawk has shown off the new Battlefield Objectives that they've been working on with Ainsty Casting for use with SAGA and the Book Of Battles.
The sets have been themed to work with both their Dark Age rules and, of course, their battles that take place during the Crusades as well. They show lost tombs full of treasure, sacks of grain and supplies that armies need on the march and more.
I really like the one with all the shields, possibly showing a haul after a battle and the little crate in the top right of the second set which features a sneaky pair of hands. They've painted it as a little goblin for Fantasy games but I think it would be fascinating to see if used in a Historical game as some mystical creature that your warband has said he found in the swamps.
These kinds of objective markers make for a much more fun game than simply seeing tokens on the tabletop. They keep you in the moment and help tell the story of your games that little more effectively.
You'll be able to snag these next year with the release of the Book Of Battles.
What objective markers would you make?

Good terrain for ports
These are nice.
Wished have known of them when I placed my order for the ‘Book of Battles’!
they’re not due for release until some time in January
Ahhh.
I don’t feel like I missed it now thanks.
they look well, I may have to pick some of these up. But for now I’ll be using some Mantic Terrain crate stuff and of course sheep 😉
Mmmmm sheep
Y’murm. No, seriously, your mum would make a great objective marker. Or your dad.
we cremated dad, so I use him as basing material instead. 🙂
Too soon?
I have some Ainsty Castings scenery, good quality. And they are frequently seen at UK shows with a good range of terrain.
Those look great.
Can’t resist a set of objectives. I’ll have a look when Ainsty are in town in March.
Sheep! Lots of Sheep!
nice
