I decided to tighten the frontage for my battalions.
I now try and use the rather oldscool 1.5cm per miniature.
That means I have about 200 Figurines I need to rebase - but I think it's worth the effort. Fact is that I rarely play and they just look so much better when based elbow by elbow. Anyway - For the Bases I took some dark valleyo Brown mixed and highlighted with Ivory. Galeforce9 static grass and some german uber-grass to spice things up a bit.
I'm really pleased on how that looks.
Those look great. Very nice work.
AntwortenLöschenI use a 1:20 ratio for my games, and I use the same frontage for my infantry as you have.
Like you I prefer the figures packed in tighter ranks. After all, shoulder-to-shoulder in the ranks was how they were all packed together historically.
I look forward to seeing more. I go through long spells where I don't seem to get anything done myself, but then I'll have a rare occasion where both the energy and the time come together, and I find myself making progress. And any progress is good progress!
Thank you for your kind words and your encouragment Robert!
AntwortenLöschenAnd yes - there's nothing that says "rifles!" like densly packed ranks of napoleonic infantry.
Yip they do look very good all closed up.
AntwortenLöschenDon't they? Still I'd rather eat a broom-stick then telling people how to base their figurines. =)
