There is something deeply disturbing about those images

I think I need a burger to cheer me up

THE essential Normandy accessory.

I notice there is a recently deceased mooster and one with the legs stuck out like a table.

Or maybe the one in the middle has 'exploded' already and collapsed.

Wow these are on the purchase list.

I`d like to think of them as playing possum or resting.

Looks like it's rollning around in the mud.

Not much use for a Napoleonic battlefield. The livestock would have been driven off or eaten.

Warlord has a set in 28mm: link

I bought a pack as food markers for a 1812 Russian retreat campaign.

The third one looks udderly ridiculous. Exit stage left…

15/18mm versions also available at Peter Pig (and dead horses). Useful as markers as well as 'scenery.'

Delbruck26 Oct 2015 8:45 a.m. PST

More cowbells please.

Scenic Effects makes a nice dead cow and horse (WB44). They make for great, although grisly, cover in an open field.

It is an excellent point that, in the days before high explosives and long range fire, cows would not have littered a battle field.

However the poses shown are absolutely right, however strange they might seem. Even horse corpses could appear with raised legs, depending on how they fell…………. once decomposition sets in they would look even worse, as Skarper suggested above.

Oh groan………..I missed the gag above………udderly ridiculous………(brilliant). For that, he deserves Friesian out of the forum.

Westerner26 Oct 2015 11:38 a.m. PST

My Labradors lie like than, displaying their unmentionables; it is, indeed, a deeply disturbing image.

Tango0128 Oct 2015 11:03 a.m. PST

Agree that the poses shown are absolutely right…

Said by a man who lives in a country with double amount of cows than people!… (smile)

They're just pining for the fjords.

Now someone has to design a cow-tipping game…
