I can't say how much Litko (or any other nice looking set of) blast markers improve the visual look of the game. It's really eye catching to have columns of smoke and fire instead of just little beads or dice or whatever.

BFG - one of those games I've often looked at but never actually played.

Everyone I've spoken to always bangs on about how great the game system is...

Anywho - I've been having a butchers online and decided I've gonna import a load of the Litko BM's.

Cheers for all the suggestions guys!

Highly likely, but at the moment I don't play often enough to make investing in anything new worthwhile, especially when I just had to fork out the best part of £100 on ordering out of print books from Spain for my research, which also put a big dent in my idea of trying to get hold of second hand Eldar vehicles from the Space era too......

I use translucent ten sided dice (that I have loads of from roleplaying games). A 0 is broken, and a number is that many blast markers. It's also pretty clear to whom do the blast markers belong as you use different color for either army.

What happens when the dice get bumped?
