Not so much casualty markers but more so, dead vinyettes, might drop them where a melee has taken place.Allthough the few with 1/2/3 stones are markers.

I like the stones as markers.

I need to paint up,some casualty markers for my ECW blackpowder army and I think the stones are a nice way to indicate hits. I think I will use that idea.

Cheers

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.

My continental army is lacking in militia , so i have 5 units to paint(two in the first pic and three in the second),im hoping to do two or three of them with a Loyalist and a Militia command base so i get to play them both sides.I have to allow a bit of artistic/gaming  licence though as i am leaving of the bayonets on some but not on others,ive chopped a lot of bayonets off the first unit( its made up of Perry`s and Old Glory 25mm)and i think thers a good chance the two units with bayonets will end up as early continentals.

Seth Warners Green Mountain Boys and possibly as loyalists : Butlers Rangers/Quebec Militia:

First unit finished and next three on the go,took a bit of time to study and the end result is i snapped off a lot of bayonets so to end up with one uniformed and three mostly civilian dressed Militia, the fifth one will be Massachusett Continentals,all based on the campaigns and battles up until 1778 ish.I also have three spare command stands to turn them into Loyalists
Cheers AL

Hi guys almost finished , just got to do a few bits of touching up and then try and find the flags i need,they are based to match my existing collection.
Cheers AL

How many figures? How long did it take you to paint them? They look really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Used some grass tufts amongs the flock,and also messed up the wood finish with a creamy finish instead of the origonal gray finish.

Good god man, you're a machine.

I think you paint more figures in a day than some of us have painted in a lifetime.
