Hastings Demo 2016; Cavalry Test Base
« on: January 03, 2016, 01:24:22 PM »
I've been messing around with base sizes for the 40 plus cavalry that I now have painted for the Hastings demo game. For those that don't know and I figure that will be most of you, the game will be taking place at Salute next year next to the Lance and Longbow Society stand. Indeed, the game is being put on for the Lance and Longbow Society and the 950th Anniversary of the Battle.

you can read all about it and see many more piccies on my Just Add Water Blog here:

Tasters:







If you have any ideas about how i could improve the bases please don't be shy and give me a shout.

Cheers,
Darrell.

Improve? As if. They look great Darrell. Basing works a treat.
The only other thing I occasionally add are one or two bushy bits - Woodland Scenics coarse clump foliage. But it doesn't need it. Just offers a slightly different texture in the mix  :)

Thanks guys- I've been meditating on the bases all day now and i think they're pretty much OK as is. I might add a little static grass and then dry brush a golden yellow so it looks more, well, grassy! :)

Darrell.
