Do you use little plastic skulls as game markers or tokens? |
alan L | 14 Jul 2018 10:40 a.m. PST |
No, I prefer to have markers represented by something that naturally appears in the landscape or casualty figures. For the like of suppresion, I use explosion markers. However, for the like of pulp era games, I use numbered blood markers for each individual figure. |

Yes, to show disorder, whatever term the particular rules use for it. |

No. I use them to make chibi necron-like aliens.

I don't , but that's mainly because I don't have any skulls! They could make god casualty markers ? But I have no need for casualty markers, either ! (figure removal rules) |

Yes. Use skull beads as wound counters |

I use coin sized markers with skulls to indicate morale failure in Dragon/Lion rampant games. |

No, and I find them a bit jarring. Each to their own. |

I use GZG's Stargrunt 2 markers to show wounds,in several games, and these have pictures of skulls, do these count?

No: I use Goats for Shaken troops, and Chickens for Routing troops. Castings are removed as troops are killed; for multi-figure stands, I use white plastic rings, from the sewing notions area of fabric stores. Cheers! |

No. I mostly remove figures and use colored wargaming chits. For my ACW I remove stands and replace them with figures laying on the ground. I also have routing figures placed next to a unit that breaks, ammo boxes as low ammo markers, drummers for troops rallying, and troopers with flags for charging units. No skulls. |

I have done so occasionally--but they were not plastic but the cardboard tokens from the old BatteMasters game… |

I just used them on certain terrain and models …

How about using modified hero-clix, or similar, casualty markers with painted casualty castings on top? You know, the ones that have numbers and a rotating dial? You turn the little dial to uncover the number of lives, or figures killed/remaining on a multi-figure stand. |
