Dust

Coarse sponge, splatted with sandy paint.  I dislike markers, especially for large display games.  I want things to look uncluttered, so I have gone for casualty dials and now dust markers.  Certain unit types gain extra impetus dice in our rules of choice, and I wanted some way to represent this.  I shamelessly "borrowed" the idea from a post made by Big Lee on 6mm WWII desert warfare - credit where credit's due, after all!  Having said that, his look a lot better than mine.  Maybe the elephants are being chased by giant gerbils...

    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
    If the jumbos don't get you, the gerbils must!

    Good idea Paul - I like 'natural' markers as well.

    Cheers,
    Aaron

    Great idea Paul. I'm with you...markers have to be as unobtrusive as possible or blindingly obvious.

      Hi Simon, glad you approve. I know you are trying to reduce markers for large Shako games too...
