Some of the basing journey so far.

This is a great looking project, with the release of kickstarter 2 it's inspired me to start painting the 1st release which I hadn't started. I didn't realise how good the sculpts are until I started painting and the detail is incredible. I'm going for Oosterbeek/Hartenstein themed force.
Can't wait to see how your project comes along

Basing looks like you're off to a good start.

Thanks Steve and Ash! 

All basing was completed and now waiting to prime.

 Great steady work.  How big are your forces going to get?

I look forward to seeing a few with some paint on them.

I really should get a move on with mine!

Priming finally happened this weekend!

Just a note for those who want round bases but would like them without the holes, try Total Element (but don't tell them what you are doing with them!!!).  They have various sizes of steel discs meant for magnetic triggers on doors and such.  But they make great bases.  I'm using them for 15 mm figures.  Even a simple tiny 1/2 inch piece gives enough weight to keep figures upright. 

I go one step extra and prime the underside of my bases - this prevents bare metal from showing (I hate that in a game) and it mildly reduces the hold which in turn reduces the chance of the magnetic connection being strong enough to break a figure from its base.

100% agree

This is what 2 full Monty deals and a boat load of the extras look like. This is from the Empress & Hicks Arnhem Heroes 2 Kickstarter. So much stuff! Have I bitten off more then I can chew?
