I thought that the body of a beloved leader would still be worthy as an objective marker. Maybe even adding a randomiser, so any friendly troops either gain or lose fatigue as they approach the objective. Depending on if they are outraged or repulsed by the execution. May also make a Joms Viking leaders base a bit scary?
Nice ideas.

I was thinking of switching from alive to blood-eagled on turn #x if the rescue group doesn't get there in time while at least one of the enemy is in proximity.

Then, bonuses and penalties change, as you described, for the second part of the game.

Just brainstorming....

Joking apart, I'd like to see how one of the expert painters on the LAF, renders that reeking blood drenched corpse convincingly!

I like that idea. Racing against the clock  to rescue the prisoner, before he's executed. Good plan!

It's grim stuff. I suppose it's not a lot different from the dead and wounded figures or the occasional 28mm severed head.

Great sculpting on a suitably gruesome miniature.

I am no anatomist, but you see those things on top or the shoulders that look like shoulder pads... :o
