The circle and square are the same idea - use numbers like a dial to record hits or strength remaining, the color coding dot could be used to signify heavy / medium / lights in Command and Colors. Shown here beside some 1/72 hoplites.
Not sure which I like better - need to use larger lettraset characters on the round one.
I also considered using the marker as a dice caddy for Sword and Spear to mark both hits and activation dice status.
Then I noticed that bits of plywood leftover between the round bases were a nice star shaped - so I painted them red and put a number on them - presto casualty markers, shown here alongside just completed Gripping Beast 28mm African spearmen
And here around 3 bases of Hannibals veterans converted from Wargames Factory Caesarian legionnaires.
I'm leaning towards the red markers - any thoughts?
Figures look great. I reckon the red markers are more practical; can just imagine accidentally changing or not changing the positioning of the other ones while doing a turn or about face and getting mixed up. If you're interested in other ideas, this is what I did for mine. I like it, but not everyone does!

Very interesting idea, and non-invasive. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice work on the 72s. I thought they were 28s because they were so well done! So, how do you like Sword & Spear? Have you had a chance to play it yet?
