I'm looking for some top down illustrations of casualties. I;ve tried Google but have not found the right key words yet. Basically I want to make large casualty markers, specifically for dark age battles, by just printing out images, rather than buying a bunch of figures and having to paint and model them all. Any ideas? |

Long time ago I was fooling around with Dundjinni and Campaign Cartographer. There were a lot of top down vector art .png files for various monsters and characters. Some were casualties. I'm sure there must be a collection of things like what you want somewhere but my Googlefu is weak tonight too. |

If you want lots of identical casualties you could buy one figure, paint it, then take a picture and print out copies. |

I have actually drawn to my 15mm scale and panted on heavy paper, like a cereal box weight, and painted them. My thinking is drop a causality marker every time a company stand is down. With flat on table no stand of figures is bothered. Printing would make it easier as I don't have enough for big battles. |

Look for movies where they show topdown views of battlefields & see if there is a frame or two of what you are looking for. |

If I could put the figures I hand painted on a copiers I could have all I want. Never thought of doing that. |
