Love the horse without a rider and the witch is just pure classic fantasy - very inspirational. I will be looking  into Basic Impetus Fantastikus... However does one necessarily have to re-base?  Perhaps more importantly what are some of the pros and cons to these rules?

[abhorsen950]

Fantastic work. I love how every base is full of action. Splendid brush work keep it up!

Thanks for kind comments 

@ Golgotha

the horse will get a rider soon 

If your opponent agrees your current bases sizes and has the same then the system should work. Otherwise put your minis without glue&basind on the bigger base.

Pros:
- you can create your own army
- special abilities can give your elements their own character
- diorama looking bases
- the system works fine
- exhaustion makes battles a bit more realistic

Cons:
- one more system

Wow, all that is great!!!

I wanna make a impetus army as well... =) =) =)

[HereWego]

Yeah.. one soul collected

I play the historical system and haven't rebased anything, just used sabot bases of the right size and placed my figures on top

Nice characters. I love the witch. Something different than the standard Fay Enchantress.

I've looked at it several times and came to the same conclusion - sabot bases were the way forwards.

Not a big step but a small update  

For a month or two i had the idea that plastic toy figures for kids could be a nice add-on for 28mm tabletop. I took a look at the bay and bought this one:



My giant!! I love his facial expression - small brain in a big body but when he strikes there will be nothing more than dust left over :twisted: Originally its a kids toy for Lord of the Rings with movable arms, legs and head. I glued everything in this position and will have to paint him in fleshy tones. This model will be the eye catcher of my army . I will have to fill the gapes and will add some gimmicks like a dead cow on his belt. Does anyone know a good cow modell for this? .. And maybe his will get a pulled out tree in one of his hands.

I added a second pic for scale comparison on my blog:

Looks great!

I too love to look at toys for wargaming potential.

I think Warlord Games do some dead cows.
