Okay, perhaps not the funkiest thread title in the world....:)
I am going to base some of my old Italian Wars stuff for DBA.
Here in germany is a small but eleborate gaming group wich bases its 28mm DBA stuff on deeper bases, so I will follow along.
Looks pretty convincing to me....:)
I will receycle some of my old stuff and paint just some minis here and there...
I started today with the generals base.
(So the general is newly painted).

And here how the sabbot bases work.

And the next sabbot base for more knights.
I go with the condotta list and need lots of knight bases...
...if I hate something its painting horses....:D

Don, who makes the condottieri commander (Nicolo de Tolentino, from the painting of the battle of San Romano ? although he certainly would do for Francesco Sforza) and the unpainted knight with warhammer ?
-
Nicolo is from the Perrys, the Hamme guy is from a foundry blister....;)
Cheers,

Lovely work and looks convincing to me as well.
I do the same thing with some of my HotT elements as well.
Cheers,
Barry

Thanx Barry.....;)

That works really well as your basing is particularly lovely.
:-* :-*
-
They look great :)
Is the figure in the front a bit redundant though as he can only be used with these bases?
-
Thanx for teh comments....;)
Just painted a few pavaises today and one more knight....:)
And voila...two units of crossbowmen are nearly ready and one mroe unit of knights.

And a little close up of the pavaises.

The crossbowmen need a little overhaul...I think. 3-4 Years old.
Cheers,

Lovely - they aren't just units, they are little vignettes.

Truly, very beautiful work!

Okay, after a few eeks at the north west frontier I am back in the Italian Wars.
This tiome I had to build a HORDE....;)
In the description they should be peasents...I took a more religious aproach....:)

Got the religious figures from the a hobby shop ....some kind of christmas deco I guess.

Many thanks - great to see your force coming together

Wow, they look really good. The sabots for the cavalry are very subtle, I didn't spot that the rear two horses were separate.
...if I hate something its painting horses....:D
At least in the Italian Wars you have plenty of armour on the horses, so not much horse flesh to paint.
-
Thanx....;)

Got it from a brick and mortar hobby store. No name product, sorry.
Found it in some hobby online stores, too.
Its called "Krippenfiguren 20mm"
