Markers Ancient and Modern

Some markers to denote casualties, loss of stamina and the like.
The shields are from Footsore Miniatures and bases from 30mm circular bases from Warbases.
Next some decorative barrage etc. markers for my 20mm WWII games.

"

These are made from florists wire glued into circular bases from Warbases, Woodland Scenics clump foliage was then glued to the wire using a hot glue gun. When dry they were sprayed with Woodland Scenics, scenic cement, basically watered down PVA. It’s was applied with a Woodland Scenics spray bottle, again any household spray bottle can be used. Once dry I sprayed with Halfords Matt black car paint and then a light overspray with Halfords grey primer, the bases when coated with Jarvis desert sand and stone mix and painted with Deco-Art country maple washed with GW Seraphim Sepia and drybrushed with Vallejo Model Colour Iraqi Sand(819)

That’s all for now folks.

    Those barrage markers are wonderful Phil! Make more though, I feel the Katushas may need them. The shield markers have turned out nicely too by the way. See you tomorrow.

    Excellent markers and it reminds me that I really should make some barrage markers for BKCII games. Something else added to the list...

    Very nice Phil…
    I’m surprised that someone hasn’t started selling grey clump foliage…

    All the best. Aly
