Title: Casualty markers...
Post by: rogg on 18 January 2012, 07:27:21 AM
I am working on 10mm SYW project with Black Powder rules. Therefore, I need to build some form of casualty markers. I want to use some modified miniatures. Has anyone an idea how to model them?

Casualty figure on a 1p coin. Little walls of milliput to hold the dice.

Those are soo good, wish I'd thought of a little wall of milliput to hold the dice  >:(

I've just finished my 7YW markers and used pack AWX1, I think they are a bit Napoloeonic but work fine.

They're not perfect, I think the miliput wall should be a little higher, and it is better if it is on 4 sides not 3, which means some trimming of the figures. But I'm going to make some more.

These are made with the Late Roman casualty figures - which work pretty well for all sorts of medieval and fantasy armies.

So, how do the little coloured circles work, Dazza? Are they removable?

you put the flat edge onto the edge of the base and the point furthest from the base is the colour that denotes the hits.


take this photo below :

the top right base, green and red edge will touch the unit base and therefore yellow will be furthest away - denoting 2 hits.
