6mm Dug-In Markers

At last I have something finished to show off. I bought a load of the Sandbag models from Leven Miniatures a few weeks ago and I have finally got round to incorporating them into some models. These can be used as Dug-In markers for desert troops.



I chose to mount the sandbags on a base rather than building wrap around markers like those used for 15mm figures. The models were far too flimsy to stand up to rigiourus gameplay and mounting them just made the finished marker much more durable.



These markers are ideal for showing which of your teams are dug-in. Also during assaults when your troops may leave thier foxholes to finish off the enemy you can leave the markers in place for your troops to return to.

  8. Bit late to the party, but these look great. Do you think they'd work with 10mm (Pendraken specifically)?
