I don't know about you's guys, but, I looooooove dead bodies... >.> ...on terrain that is... anywho, I think that they add flavor and add bring back the idea that we aren't playing chess, and that we are in a dark universe, filled with horrors beyond what a human mind should be able to take.
Three problems arise however when you're doing dead bodies.
First and foremost, its still another model... it costs money, and you'll never be able to use it once you decide to apply it to the terrain. This can be avoided by making a few men as they die, go ahead and put them on their base, and green stuff blood flying out, it wouldn't be cool to have a whole squad of them, but ya know it'd be cool in moderation (especially for pictures... hrm!)
Next up is the danger's of making a corpse... its dangerous if you don't have the proper tools, even though carpentry is one of my many hobbies, I still don't have the proper tools for this. Proper tools = dremel. What I do... >.> and don't do it yourself (wink) is take a knife, and work it around via stabbing the model... now you can't stab a glued model, otherwise it'll break apart. So you'll need to know what you're gunna do before you glue together the model. And most dangerous of all, you'll be... I mean... I have to hold the small parts of the model while I stab it.
Finally we have the limitations of our imagination. What do I do with a few scattered dead bodies? Prop a few of them against cover, have a few hanging over the side with no legs, like they were scrambling over the cover from a grenade, and didn't make it out in time. Have a few of them scattered through out the pieces just on the floor, if it's a muddy place, bury them a little. If you have the green stuff skills, make a raven eating them. Blood effects are fairly easy, just make a string of green stuff, and pinch it down to a blob of green stuff, and do a few to get the whole bursting effect. If you want pools of blood, take green stuff and VERY THINLY it should be see through thin at parts, and spread it out wherever you want blood, that'll give it the different texture, and a raised area.
Anywho, have fun with it, and let those bodies hit the floor!
... God I hate that song...
