So far I've coped using a wide variety of things but I wonder how (or where) you got blast markers.

The only thing fairly close to what I need is the BFG blast markers. That works.
Just not as 'pretty' as the small cardboard 'fires' I never could lay my hands on.
(a friend has those but he is only one out of 6 epic gamers I know...)

Litko makes a bunch of kinds:

I've seen people use steel wool and washers to good effect too.

I use small poker chips with 1 and 5 on each side.

I might have an Epic40k ruleset (with blast markers) spare. PM me if you're interested.

I got mine from the Epic 40,000 boxed set and I treat them like gold! For cardboard counters, they're the coolest I've seen.

These are also cool. So are the Litko ones and those homebrew ones the others have posted.

I have a stack of the cardboard ones from epic 40k but they're a real bugger to put together without damaging, so for the moment I keep stealing beads from Mephiston :D

Plastic craft beads. I got one set for wounds and one for BMs. Priced at $5 for 300 or so.

I second Litko - prices are reasonable, markers look cool and the customer service is simply awesome. They should be pretty durable too.
