flogging a dead horse

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.

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.
