If you are searching for a Warhammer 40K objective marker set, you are already in buying mode.
You are not asking “what is an objective.” You are asking, “what should I actually use on my table.”
At 3D6, we are very clear about this:
Your objective marker set should make the game smoother, not louder.
That is the line. Everything else is noise.
What a Good Objective Marker Set Actually Does
A good objective marker set:
- Does not interfere with movement
- Does not block space
- Does not become accidental terrain
- Does not cause measurement arguments
It just sits there and does its job.
If your objectives are constantly being bumped, negotiated around, or worked around, the set is wrong.
Why We Only Build Flat Objective Marker Sets
In 10th Edition, models control objectives by being within range, not by standing on them.
That means objective markers should never create physical obstacles.
Tall, scenic objective sets look cool. They also:
- Block legal movement
- Create awkward model placement
- Turn objectives into terrain
- Slow games down
Flat markers avoid all of that.
They stay out of the way and let the game flow.
Why 40mm Matters in a Set
A proper objective marker set should use 40mm markers.
That size is the recommended standard in 10th Edition and it is what missions are designed around.
Big enough to see. Small enough to not interfere.

How Many Markers Should Be in a Set?
Most missions use multiple objectives spread across the board.
This is why buying a single marker or a partial set is a mistake.
You want a full, matching set so your table:
- Looks consistent
- Plays consistently
- Measures consistently

Why Cheap Tokens Are a False Economy
People start with coins, poker chips, or paper cutouts. That is normal.
Then they play a few games.
Then they get tired of:
- Markers sliding around
- Edges being unclear
- Constant re-centering
- Tables looking messy
That is when people start looking for a real objective marker set.
Not because they want to spend money, but because they want the table to stop fighting them.
Why 3D6 Objective Marker Sets Are Different
We build for real games.
Not display cabinets. Not novelty. Not gimmicks.
Real tables. Real movement. Real players.
That means:
- Flat profile
- Clean edges
- Durable material
- No fragile details
They are meant to be used, not babied.
Objective Markers and Terrain Have to Work Together
Objectives live inside terrain. That is just reality.
Modern tables are terrain-dense, and objectives are often placed in or near ruins, barricades, and footprints.
If your objective markers are bulky, the table gets messy fast.
This is why we design our sets to work cleanly with modern layouts.

Why Players Replace Their Objective Marker Sets
Almost nobody replaces objective markers because they are bored.
They replace them because:
- Games feel cramped
- Movement feels awkward
- Tables feel cluttered
- Flow feels off
That is a table problem, not a player problem.
A clean objective marker set fixes a lot of that instantly.
What You Get With a 3D6 Objective Marker Set
You get:
- Proper 40mm sizing
- Flat, low-profile design
- Durable construction
- A full matching set
No clutter. No gimmicks. No friction.
Just a table that works.
If You Are Buying an Objective Marker Set for 40K
If you care about:
- Clean movement
- Fast turns
- Fewer arguments
- Better flow
Then flat, 40mm markers in a full set are the answer.
And that is exactly what we make.

The Bottom Line
A Warhammer 40K objective marker set should never be the reason a game feels awkward.
It should never be the reason movement is weird. It should never be the reason measurements are messy.
It should disappear into the game.
That is what we build.
