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.
