Great stuff as usual - very inspirational!

Cheers Glenning

Thanks for posting that link to your basing guide, much appreciated. Has never occurred to me to mix different grades of sand! Amazing how simple things make such a difference

Happy to help

I sometime add small bits of small pieces of crumbled up cork or actual rocks on the bases too. If you do add "rocks" a wee trick is to highlight the rocks with VMC Ivory as an extra layer (on top of VMC Dark Sand, VMC Iraqi Sand and VMC Pale Send) to make them stand out more.

Indeed Matt 

Nick also put together this Landsknecht casualty for me out of the spare parts- very, very kind of him  He'll be joining a Pike Block soon unlike his unfortunate comrade above!

Such an inspiration to catch up with this thread.

Cheers Spooktalker. My Italian Wars project has been on and off for years which is odd as it's a period I find extremely fascinating- the birth of military tactics that at once looked to the Classical past and also arguably was the birth of modern armies in many ways.

When I first saw the 'wounded' Landsknecht I thought he was to be
part of a diorama with the kneeling prisoner, bending over to ask,

'Are you comphy there mate?'
