Looking for SCW casualties

[scrivs]

I'm looking for some 28m dead and wounded figures suitable for the Spanish Civil War. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I agree

Mr Empress (Paul),

 I think a few generic bodies matched to your head swaps would be top sellers

That's no a bad idea actually

...make them 'generic enough' and they'd do for any Interwar and partisan casualty type...and God knows what else.....lying done is best IMO as it hides detail, is easy to paint and is a 'proper' casualty and looks as such on-table i.e. dead or badly wounded and not standing, kneeling, etc.

For extra versatility, no equipment on the figure and perhaps separate rifles so you can place the rifle in a hand or nearby and change to any weapon you like...you supplying the basic rifle as 'standard'....this will extend the utility of the figure beyond the SCW (hence making it a better seller).

A generic few in trousers and the same with puttees would allow for troops from militia, to Asaltos to Legion, Regulares, Falange and EPR and Bando Nacional troops as well....and everyone in between.


The proliferation of massed skirmish type games really does mean these figures are of use and have a nice dioramic effect. They do nicely for pinned markers in Chain of Command as well find use in many other game systems such as Bolt Action, et al.


....put me down for twenty for starters with some head bags!  

I hope we see 'em.

Cheers

Another vote here too... using casualty figures as markers is always more pleasing than counters.

You can never have enough for Casualty markers imo

Sign me up for a bunch of these should they happen....please

Me too ..

Would definetly buy these in some quantity - every period needs lying down dead and wounded.

I've got a few WW1 casualties that I will head swap for SCW heads. Also some later 19th Century stuff has its uses. The Redoubt Boxer rebellion has usable casualty figures.

I am in for these too,   But I was thinking of using them for pin markers such as in bolt action.

Promote that man! Excellent idea

[has.been]

+1 for the figures, with a sprue of bags, canteens etc that could be stuck on the figure or scattered around or used on scenery (barricades etc.)or on vehicles.

Deffo up for casualty figures - a pack of four surrendering types with separate heads also be appreciated.
