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.
