Baccus ACW casualty markers

I've had these near completed for a while, but I finally got around to doing them.  I mounted the casualty figures on 40mm washers, smoothed the step effect away with acrylic caulk, glued some sand on and painted them. Now I can add some grim reality to the games, putting down casualties where they occur. I considered painting some blood here and there, but decided against it. It's difficult to do realistic blood in 6mm. I also put some of the smaller Silflor tufts I had here and there, to see if they're appropriate for the scale. I think they work just fine.

Testing out Silflor tufts

I bought some of the tufts Silflor sells a while back and have been waiting for something to use them on. I painted a goblin catapult model I had lying around so I could stick some tufts and other basing materials on it. What do you think? Too much? I've always had trouble doing realistic looking ground cover on my minis.





I like these tufts, especially the flowering bushes and the yellowish, dry grass.
