Re the basing approach - these figures are just held on coins for the painting process by a lump of bluetac.
My Je Lay Emprins blog has an entry on my basing process - last year I think (sorry, I can't access it to create you a link at the moment). It's nothing revolutionary - bases glued on, filler to smooth over the edges and then stones and grit glued on with wood glue, before the painting proces.
Hope that helps - let me know if you need the direct link.
Simon.

Ah thanks. Mistook the white bluetac for spackle or woodfill.
