On to the Reload markers

April 4, 2020

Same approach, fix to base and flocking

With the casualty markers done, I’ve moved on to the Reload markers. I’ll adopt the same approach, although I have no more of the bigger bases, so am using some Warlord bases which I got for a reason I can’t recall now! (This seems to be a recurring issue. “Short-term memory loss!).

The bases have a very small “lip” on them, which is not clear in the picture, but basically, the reloading figure is simply glues to the base with super glue gel, and after its cured, I add the ground cover of 50/50 pva/water and fine sand. Once this is dry (I have left this one overnight), I add the flock. And that’s it!

So, I’m looking at making 10-12, which should be enough. The rule set I’m adapting gives a +1 volley effect if the Regiment has not fired, it then gets a “reload” marker and loses this bonus until it Halts for a turn, or a “reload” card is turned up. The rules are card based – as is now obvious! Pictures will be posted once the rest of the markers are done. If anyone is interested I’ll post my adapted rules.
