Aside from the apparently no longer available wound markers from Gale Force 9, are there any acrylic wound markers which carry the number of hits/wounds? GF9 did have a set marked 1-6 which I thought would be ideal for my pulp games but am told they are no longer being produced? Alan |

I made some. I took some Fimo, put a decent-sized lump on top of a penny, then pressed one of my mini-micro sized dice (link) into it to make a cube-shaped depression, then baked and flocked it. I can set one of those next to one of my figures and it holds one of the tiny dice, with the face showing telling me how many wounds (exhaustion, shock, whatever) a unit or figure has left. |

You could try something like this! link |

You could try something like this! Hi Jim – I really like those. I went with dial bases from warbases. Infantry

I do like Brian and Jim's work. Will have to try larger dial bases for cavalry but went with plain rectangular ones a couple of years ago from the Dial Dude dialdude.ca As well, made up some rectangular dice/casualty marker holders from bits of card and MDF. If I had the time/patience would certainly add figures as the ones above have done. Garry |

Or you could go cheap and cheerful. These are just 'model railway small boulders' pumice mounted on two pence pieces with some sand and grit, ink washed and dry brushed, boulders painted grey, then a bit of static grass to finish. I do them with 1, 2, 3 and 4 boulders. Not so in your face as dice all over the place, simple and quick to make, and cheap as chips.

@olicana A Yorkshireman through and through. Well done. |

Thanks for the tips. However, perhaps I did not make it clear that it is a marker for each individual figure to show how many hits/wounds that it has taken in a skirmish type game that I am looking for. In the typical Pulp type game, a figure can take several wounds before being "out of the game". |

Looks like you want to use individual dial bases then. Several companies will do them but I know for sure that Warbases do them. |

You know those colored glass gems used as vase fillers, kind of like flattened marbles? See picture. I'm going to use those in blood red. I found some at JoAnne's the other day but it was too many, a bag half as big as my head, probably 20x as many as I need. Need to find a source for fewer, or buy the big bag and become a wound marker retailer. link Of course those aren't numbered like the original poster wants. I just figured I'd drop them down wound by wound. |
looks at some new terrain products, which use space age technology!
