Anyone puts casualties with "living" minis?

[The_Wrong_Khovanskiy]

So again we have arrived at a non-conclusion of I like this/I don't like this. One more reason for my joyously embracing solo gaming.

that tends to happen. I was just curious whether people do it or not, and I'm happy with getting feedback.

I don't do this for units but several of my command bases have casualties, of the faction used by my most frequent opponent, on them.

Dead Russian on the FAO base for example

Great thing about this hobby is "each one to their own".

Various 15mm and 28mm manufacturers have historically incorporated casaulties on their bases, often for display purposes and to look good in glossy magazines, usually men in the moment of being shot. Remember the old Airfix figures with such poses.

I use casualty markers for Napoleonic-colonial to represent disordered units, but I don't have casualties on the actual unit bases themselves, as they wouldn't fit on. The casualty markers are individually based on coins or card rectangles - when the unit rallies from disorder the casualty marker is removed.

I have toyed with the idea of leaving a casualty marker in place for each figure casualty the unit suffers, at the place of suffering, so you would end up with a battlefield strewn with random corpses, but I've never tried it.

Yep, that is how its done

I  too have thought about doing this, but haven't got round to painting up enough casualty figures

yes i have done this with my ACW minis

I haven't incorporated casualties in units, but some of my units do drag trees, hedges, fences and corn fields around with them

I have created some based to mark where units have be destroyed

Three mounted casualty markers



Four foot casualty markers

I like the idea of leaving strewn corpses where units take casualties, but that might require a lot of casualty models. But it sounds quite fun.

makes for interesting vignettes, I think. Great job on the minis!
