Nice little chaps, nicely painted, but I prefer them on a grass type base rather than the coal.

Very nice indeed! But I agree with Tim. Could be a bit more dire looking. But they still look great. Bruce

I like the understated look myself.
When I first painted casualty packs I when for the "Hammer-House" look but toned it down and it works better for me a) it is only a hobby b) from a distance at the scale you usually view the figs. at injuries would be not as visible and c) dramatic trauma of the kind you would expect from artillery didn't account for the majority of battlefield casualties with a few notable exceptions I believe.
The Austrian pack and white uniforms do make painted wounds stand out more if Richard has painted examples of these.
I just wish there were some Prussian and Russian versions, as they do make for good markers and add to the basic visual effect with basic units. I have also the ACW versions which I use for FnF Rules markers.

Yes, it's really a matter of personal preference. I tend to think of musket wounds as less of a visual, but artillery and cavalry as pretty bad. I think that fire fights between muskets probably caused the greatest percentage of casualties overall. Don't know the actual figures.
But I think casualty markers are a part of any wargames table no matter the style, whether for visual impact or to use as counters. Bruce
