What system do people use with objectives? If you use some "terrain" like oli pumps etc. do they count as terrain? (i.e. cover, LOS interpretation)...
I use 40mm bases with "significant" site/objects on them like the little supply dumps/observation posts that GW supplies in their Objectives blister.
Or other things like a Tyranid spawning pool made out of bits and green stuff or a "lost relic" for the Imperials. All are relatively small pieces and can be placed anywhere as they don't count as scenery/terrain. One could just use "chits" of some kind, but we like to fight over comm relays or "Dat Important Rok!" instead.
I've tried to make 3 "army specific" Objectives for each army, and then some generic ones as well.
Here's a pic of my pre-painted Tyranid Objectives and some completed Necron ones.
