More Bit and Pieces...Bring Out Your Dead!

While I wait for parcels to arrive I am continuing to work on those bits and pieces that inhabit the edges of the painting table.

This week's batch includes another two Māori whares - just three to go...



...and a bunch of Napoleonic casualty figures. These came with the French Heavy Cavalry and Dragoons boxed sets where there is one of each figure on the horses frame so there are twenty-one of each figure, French...


...and British.


I am not quite sure how I am going to use these yet, but at least fhey are all painted. I will have another six of each when the dragoons are finished later in the year.

  2. The casualties look great! I am sure you can put them to use as some sort of unit marker.

    1. Yes they will make casualty markers I am sure but I am just uncertain how yet.

  3. I have yet to pull it off myself, but I’ve always liked it when tables had casualties just strewn about the table. Those you made should do nicely.

    1. I always thought it would be a great thing to do to represent every casualty a unit suffers with a dead figure, but for some of our games that could amount a couple of hundred dead figures! It could get rather costly.

  4. That is a lot of casualty figures. They could be useful as unit markers as you say, perhaps mounted on one of those dial bases. We use markers printed on cards which helps, although they always seem to be left behind when the unit moves.

    1. I have made a large number of small terrain pieces with numbers on them as casualty markers - because it is cheaper and more generic than figures - but I think these will wind up as casualty markers on way or another.

    1. Thanks Roly. All six are finished now and will be delivered to their new owner this weekend. I will try to get some pictures taken tomorrow and post them in due course.
