I've heard of chickens being used for routed/broken units.
Ah, that's excellent!
. Where would one acquisition a small pile of these?
1 Euro each though and I suppose shipping to Canada would be quyite high
Yeah, it usually is. I average about 4-7 miniatures-related orders a year because a good chunk of my expendable cash is always feeding the hell that is, the post. And that's including birthdays and Christmas gifts.
On the marker subject, I have made some very effective ones using small polystyrene disks and rod. Just cover the surface of the disk with superglue, put a number of small rod pieces in the superglue, and sprinkle sand over the remaining surface. Then paint the rod pieces brass to resemble spent cartrides, et voilà. In my T&T skirmish version, I use them as suppression markers.
That's a good idea. Another one I was thinking of was for markers with a couple sandbags, or so, and a bullet-ridden helmet or similar to represent suppression as well.
