I've been working on some new cohesion markers (in between playtesting and real work). Thought I'd show you folks.
I run an architectural model making shop (http://www.monolitham.com/), and one of my machines is a powerful laser cutter/engraver.
Yes, that's right. After a hard day at work of making models I like to relax by making models.

I've made myself 2 sets of markers for Field of Glory. They are all 30mm by 20mm, by about 6.5 mm tall (1/4inch).
The first set: "Persian Cuneiform" for my LAP army. The markers are designed to look like clay tablets.


The second set: "Ancient Greek" in beveled marble. This is for my Alex Mac. Army.


I'm working on some other ones: Arabic, Gothic, Celtic and Latin.
Any other suggestions?

I've done up a few more: Latin



And Celtic



And Arabic



And Gothic

And here they are in their "raw" form.
They've been removed from the laser cutter, sanded, and cleaned with compressed air.

These are great! You're selling them?

I would certainly be tempted to buy some...

Thanks guys. I could sell them.
I didn't know if anyone would be interested in that sort of thing. I thought I'd get some feedback first.

What would people like?
Unpainted -- (this is a model making hobby after all) approx $20 CAN for 6 of each FRAG, DISR and BROK (total 18 counters)
Painted -- probably more than $20...

Well If you want some, navigate to my website and email me.
But some suggestions about what else to make could be posted here and I'll see what people want.

These look great. Are they still in development or as is? 40mm wide is IMO the best width for fog markers (for 15mm troops). It makes them the same width as a base so they look more like a part of the BG they are with rather than an untidy marker. One of the reasons for game designers trying to get away from markers in general. The on table loook.

Cheers,

Suberb work!

I would take some too!!!

Those look outstanding. E-mail sent.

Those look great! Well done!

Nice! How thick are these markers?

They are 1/4" thick, about 6.5mm.

Hmm, I like the 40mm width suggestion, will you try it?

But I also like the markers you showed in one of your AARs (it was in the beta section IIRC).
It was the reversed technique with the text standing out of the base, which were based and flocked like the miniatures bases.
Perhaps you could do this ones with the different fonts, too?

This way you could get the markers as similar as possible to your miniatures.

Can you say how much roughly the postage to continental Europe will be?

Yes, 40mm by 20mm is possible. It means there would be more room for text in some cases.
I have no idea what postage would be to Europe. I will look it up somehow.

Its looking like $20 CAN for a set of 18 unpainted markers, and $45 CAN for painted ones.
(six of each, DISR, FRAG, and BROK).

I will investigate shipping (should be cheap, they are very lightweight) and paypal options this week.
If you want some now, please go to my business website and send me an email.

Any suggestions for other cultural styles?

Hmm, central asiatic (maybe something like written on a piece of hide?), east asiatic (letters with many curves on something like bamboo paper?) and some crude dark age medieval. Surely South American (on something like a golden plate?)

Lashed-together bamboo sticks for Japanese?
Chinese scrolls for Chinese?

Viking runes ??

I would be very interested in an Arabic set. Please let us know when they are available for sale.

I think you sell could quite a lot of these. I have been switching over to dead figures, but your stuff looks very cool and cost effective.
