This is very cool.  I've played games where we'd leave casualty figures on the table were troop losses occurred.  By the end of the game all the casualty figures on the table really help tell the story.  A neat, but also sobering effect.

Hi DFS,

I have been thinking of this sort of thing for some time, but as I already use individually based casualty figures to indicate disorder I needed something a bit more dramatic.  Then I saw Simon Miller's amazing  dead 28mm elephant base, and the idea was born.  It will be a bit of an effort to do enough bases to cover the big battles, but worth it I think. It is very encouraging to get all the positive comments, it will spur me on for the next batch!

What a great looking battlefield, it's lovely to see these on show, it would be even better with the other 2000 figs on the table  :).  Also a great idea with the casualties .

These are coming on apace. Leon has kindly agreed fo put up the two latest photos showing the 12 cavalry markers, and the 7 foot units done so far. Another 13 on the table as we speak!

Very nice and also very creative. I too love the pikes as that really adds to the look. Well done!

Thanks to Leon for inserting the piccies in my last post. Now moved on to 10 completed foot bases, hope to do another 5 tomorrow. With luck, should be all done by Thursday night!

Cor. There's been some hot action in this part of the field, I see.

Cracking job mate, the broken pikes and flags really set them off.
