Bolt action casualty or pin markers

So, two weeks into the Bolt action adventure and getting tired of using dice to keep count of the 'pins' I've started to look around for a replacement..

While I like the Warlord games pin markers ...

I didn't like the thought of painting another 30-40 rifles and helmets!!

Now, I got the idea for the markers I ended up with from someone else's blog but I'm afraid I can't remember who's it was! So my apologies!

First up, the base...

These are great little (40mm!!) laser cut based with a dial running from 0-12, once painted they make a great base!

Spray them with the paint of your choice to save time, but make sure you mask the number dial under the window (I used a piece of paper).

The US casualties I used came from the 'Berlin or bust' range by West wind.

You get 8 for about a tenner. Paint them up to suit your uniform colour (I've put together a 2nd armoured force, but left regimental insignia off the models just in case I did a company from somewhere else) and paint the flesh, I did a slightly lighter skin tone to try and make them look as though they're in shock!!

Stick them to the painted bases, flock and you're done!!

8 pin bases ... I'm thinking about doing a couple to look like they've just been shot but there are too many other projects to get done first ... US Rangers... B17 (1/256 scale)
