WW2 - American Casualties and Markers for Five Men at Kursk

 I finished up a few American Casualties I'd been trying to get done for the game on Sunday... but didn't.. (I played a game of Five Men at Kursk on Sunday with Orion, but have not yet finished the battle report)

American Casualties from Black Tree Design

I also finished up some Marker for Five Men at Kursk

Condition Markers for Five Men at Kursk - Red for Down, Orange for Scared, Yellow for Nervous. (some look like they might need one more coat!) 

They are sized to fit under bases (though this isn't always possible...) 

The Red ones (for Down) could either go under the base, or under the figure if one was laying them over  - and then it looks like blood pooling under the figure. 

I think I might made some that are brown for Hugging Dirt...? 

I'm starting to feel like this WW2 diversion is veering into FULL DISTRACTION territory... 

(on the plus side, there isn't a LOT of stuff I'd ever need or what to buy for my WW2 forces... and there isn't even THAT much to PAINT for it - I mean, there is some... but I have WAY MORE painted than I have unpainted...) 

Zombie Hot Spot Markers

I finished up a few Zombie Hot Spot Markers for Ambush Z. I actually only need 5 - as on a roll of ‘6’ the zombie player gets to choose which of the Hot Spots his reinforcements arrive on – but the pack came with 6… So I have six… I suppose I could have just left it without a number and used it for marking some other thing…? An objective marker? I don’t know…

I picked these up from Eureka Miniatures USA.

Originally I’d meant to have a lot more stuff cluttering up the base… but I got lazy… I do have a complete second set of them (for SECONDARY Hot Spots). Perhaps I’ll take my time with those and clutter them up a bit more.

Probably more zombies… or survivors… or other modern-ish things… 

Burn, Baby, Burn!

I made a couple of brew-up/burn markers for marking which tanks/vehicles are now just terrain features on the battlefield after being destroyed… I suppose they could also mark houses that have been lit up, or ever piles of trash that might have been lit, or anything that could possibly burn on the battlefield…

(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version):

The markers are essentially tore-up pieces of Styrofoam glued to washer bases (for weight and durability). I’m not fond of Styrofoam terrain pieces as they tend not to be terribly durable – but there’s a few layers of pain on these and a good layer of paint-on matte varnish, so I’m hoping they’ll last at least a little bit…

A T-34 brews up somewhere on the Eastern Front. 

Luckily this Canadian Sherman crew was able to bail before their tank brewed up. 

...as did this panzer crew - though, one seems to have been injured... 

Works for moderns too: Flame and smoke boil out of hte hatches of a knocked out BTR-60

Sometimes that ERA just doesn't work... (darn, I'd got out a few of the modern British casualty markers to litter the area around the burning Warrior, but as it was one of hte last pictures I was getting a bit cold and in the hurry to finish up I totally forgot...) 

Works on the 20mm/1:72 kits as well... 

I should probably do a few more of these... especially if I started building up all the 1:72 kits I have - I could have some gloriously large armoured actions! Brewed up vehicles everywhere! MWA-HA-HA-Ha-Ha-ha-ha-haaaaaa... 

Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Some 28mm Modern Soviets seem more likely to be finished up next. I started the batch last night, but didn't make much progress as I sat down to paint them while listening to the feature commentary track on Paul... I made a lot of mistakes while laughing - which seriously impeded my progress! 

Perhaps before that, however, I may have another Bolt Action AAR....
