Following on from a previous post - details (here) these are also markers for use with the game of Lion Rampant. These indicate a unit has been 'battered' i.e. one that has failed a courage test. Specific markers aren't actually necessary, you can simply use a small stone, die or something similar but I prefer the aesthetic of having a suitable looking model on the table.
These have been made from a combination of spare weapons from the FireForge Games Teutonic Knights plastic box set and the Gripping Beast plastic 'Dark Age Warriors' box set (one of the most versatile sets of figures I've come across in terms of time periods it can be used for).
The hands and arms have been removed from the weapons as I don't particularly want to represent the gore of a real battlefield. The abandoned helmets are simply spare heads from various plastic FireForge sets with any human element removed or hollowed out with a drill bit and scalpel.
I like these more than the first ones, and I really liked those

Thanks Ian, glad you liked them.
DeleteVery nice. So much nicer than a blank counter or dice stuck behind a unit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark, definitely nicer aesthetically on the tabletop than other alternatives.
DeleteA really nice idea - possibly because of the simplicity (though that's not to say that the execution isn't very effective).
ReplyDeleteThanks Edwin, I know what you mean. As I was often told when I started work in engineering - KISS (keep it simple, stupid).
DeleteThey're quite excellent Matt!
ReplyDeleteThank you Fran.
DeleteFantastic work Matt. Gotta love when you have spare parts that find a use!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry, i always try and keep an eye out for uses for the vast amount of rubbish I have lying about.
DeleteThey look excellent!
