These from battlemarkers.com link I actually suggested the allied 'star' markers. They're nicely made and shipping was pretty reasonable from the US to the UK. |

These: link Flock and terrain identically to the units and put them under the NCO when needed. DM |

BA Pin Markers, used them for years. I've used them for CrossFire for 8-10 years at least. |

I bought a bag of rubberish ceramic tile spacers (100), years ago. I've painted the two sides in whatever colors I need for pinned, routed etc. |

Miniature cotton reel, they are around 1 centimetre high, have a flat bottom and are easy to pick up. made in wood they do not look too obvious. I bought mine from a card makers craft shop. |

Im with Hardwood Hobbies on this one. 8mm red dice. Compact. And red stands out, yelling out " Dont forget to add the pin". |

I use these:
I bought a couple of packs of tiny 5mm dice and made holders for them with pennies and fimo. |

The best markers I've seen in use were made from the spares box; a rifle driven into the ground with a helmet hanging from it… |

I use little gemstones from Magic The Gathering but I've seen a great idea:
.22 casings! |
| snurl1 | 26 Jan 2015 5:20 a.m. PST |
I use red dice too, but I like the .22 casing idea.y |

We have been looking at using D10. They are all over and your pinning should not exceed 10 anyway without the unit routing. |
 miniMo | 21 Feb 2015 4:18 p.m. PST |
Ooh, that reminds me that I have cubes of small D10's down in the dice cellar! |

We use very small wooden beads purchased from a dollar store. They work very well. We use black beads for pins – and a single green bead to show a unit that has activated in a turn; we find this much better than using a larger Bolt Action dice. The only Order that is relevant for an activated unit is "Ambush", so we have a few Ambush markers printed. Personally, using a rifle with helmet effect is a little strange for my tastes – and moving these "headstones" around with active units that are pinned just doesn't seem right somehow. |

Just carry a bag of pennies to toss down. |

My buddy bought one of those cheapo goth/punk "bullet belts" from Spencer Gifts. It's a cheap fake leather belt that is covered in plastic half-bullets. He broke those off and uses them as pin markers – since it's a half a bullet they don't roll around and they're small enough to not get in the way but large enough to easily count them from across the table. |

My God -I've had a moment of genius -you could use pins!!! |

Hi Dervel, Can you share your source for the small ammo used on your pin markers? Thank you. |
| Aggie21 | 05 Mar 2017 6:27 p.m. PST |
Dervel, You can disregard my question about the pin markers as I subsequently
found another of your posts from several years ago that answered my question. |
