flogging a dead horse

Post by ochoin »

I have 3 models of an obviously stricken horse. Very much in generic H&M tack.

They're rather well done & I'm itching to paint them.....but to what purpose?

Clearly some sort of marker, but 3 isn't many...& what for? I almost hesitate to ask....

You’ll have to buy more!

I make a casualty marker for every unit, I have around 20 painted.
I put those little mini bits dice in them to show hits /unit strength

I thought that was how EB modelled all his cavalry?

What Purps said.
Makes the tabletop look much better.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

But with just three of the little blighters, you could use them to indicate a General who is temporarily, or otherwise, somewhat discombobulated.

Need I say it? I think not. Consider it said.

Or 4, to denote a full-on trampling by his own side.

Embarking on something similar for my shock markers and jumping off points for SP2 - was nice of Victrix to include an occasional casualty figure on those sprues.
