Anyone know who makes the above in 25/28 mm?

As I wanted something generic for a casualty marker that could be used in most periods and most theatres without having to buy all these dead figures and painting them as well, made me do the next.
I bought a packet of little plastic cross spacers for when you are tiling your bathroom or kitchen, trimmed three sides to make it look like a latin cross and glued that to a washer with a bit of dirt. OK, he/she has been buried already, but it's an easy way of putting down a marker that doesn't really look out of game. I made about 30 of them already, so my next game better be bloody.

I glue 28 mm skulls from Black Cat Bases to 20 mm bases, and paint them (Damage). Very gruesome...

Things like a bse with a single boot or hand mounted on it might work. That way you can make 4 or 5 markers from a single model. You can use the amputee as the final marker.

My favourite being the "Obviously Dead Token" set.

I made up a bunch of word balloons (like in a comic strip) that say things like "I'm Hit", "Winged me", and "Aaarghhhhh" and printed them on magnetic material. They fit to the steel bases I use.

That's clever, Cory. You should post some pictures of those.

These only really work for navel games. I cut some shark fins out of scraps of plastic card & mounted them on small washers. Painted the fins dark grey & the washer blue. I use them to show hull damage when playing 'Limies & Slimies' in 15mm scale.
