| So I had an idea that I'm going to go ahead with and that is to magnetise the flag poles of each of the skimmers to use those as my Jink markers - the flag is on, the skimmer has jink....
Currently I use a big dice for hull points, a small dice for damage and a red poker chip for Jink - one less thing on the table.....
....maybe I could use old pain tokens for hull point counters...I had used the spear poles glued into 25mm bases 2 spears = 2 HP left, 1 spear = 1 HP left _________________ "I'm alive from this pain!"

| Loom bands (small 15mm rubber bands) for lost hullpoits. Dice to mark penetration results. I also use "shaken" result for jink too as it's just the same effect. _________________ New Dark Eldar in Tournaments: Wins: 17 Draws: 2 Losses: 8 ETC 2013 DE/Eldar player (4th) ETC 2014 Coach (16th) ETC 2015 Captain, Eldar/DE (10th) Painting blog | |

| I've always just tilted the vehicle off-kilter on its flying base. I suppose you could object to that because moving the hull could affect ranges slightly, but never had an opponent object to it and it looks decent visually when you know the vehicles flying straight can shoot normally and the ones pointed at crazy angles are swerving all over the place. | |

| It has never even occurred to me to have a jinking marker, but I can see it being useful in larger games.
I've been using D4s to represent lost wounds and hull points, because they won't be confused with other dice and get scooped off the table. My new idea is to write up a little card with little boxes for everything with wounds or hull points, slide it into a hard plastic card sleeve (a toploader) and then track wounds and hull points with a dry erase marker. It'll be like playing Warmahordes with my whole army on one card, and it'll reduce clutter on the table. It could also be used to track what's jinking. _________________ Dark Eldar plog: Drug-Crazed Space ElvesStupid humans plog: Calyptra's Stupid Humans Vampire Counts plog: Bat Country | |

| One of my opponents has Jink markers, and I want to get some. I have red plastic crystals that I use to track wounds and hull points. | |

| I use acrylic woundmarkers: green for glances, orange for pens and since I have a fetish for magnets I turn my sails 90 degrees if I jinked. Like tapping in magic  | |

| For vehicles that aren't glued into their stand, i turn the vehicle on a weird angle. Listing lazily to the left | |

| There are some mod dice out there where you can insert what each face has, i.e. jink, smoke, etc. Mod Cubes. | |

| I've magnetized the sail. If it jinks I turn it 90 degrees and if it's immobilized I take it off. And it's much easier to transport them that way. | |

Yep my Raiders/Ravagers/Venoms etc are all magnetised. So much easier to transport and yes, to show Weapon Destroyed, Immobilized etc but I had not thought to use the sail for Jink.... _________________ "I'm alive from this pain!"

| Honestly I have a pretty good memory so haven't needed markers, I know I've made a couple of mistakes here and there but only rarely. | |

| I was thinking of using 4-5 magnets on a base and then use different bolts for hull points (painted red) and maybe a black or yellow one for jink. Take them off / put them on as needed and since they are metal you only need the magnets in the base. Can use the bolts for any number of counters and paint them any color you want.
Really any small metal object would work, I just have a lot of bolts laying around lmao.
