Great job! I love those bases. I too make custom sculpted bases. I must have made well over 200 by now.

Mostly, on my phone.

So I have interpreted it as the hordes of imperial soldiery and rebel troops of the Battle of Hoth - plus vehicles and installations.





79 minis is a perfectly reasonable number to enter, right?

Well done, Graven! Suddenly my horde isn't so horde-y

And I thought I was doing well getting 11 little guys done in only half the month!

Still need flock, but almost there.

Started on some ripper swarms to help them clog up the battlefield.



Month is half over, plan accordingly.

Making much more progress now. Still have to make a base for the last three I intend on entering:



I still need to add woodgrain to the hafts and trim the bases in black... and three primed guys in the back that aren't even started.

Got the last three primed and glued onto a wide base. I want to get those three to the same stage as the previous 12 before moving on to what's next.
