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.

Maybe add the odd bit of debris, such as spent arrows or hammers, corpses, and the like. Only to perhaps one in three or four bases.

Already taken care of but a great suggestion

Darrell.

I've thought of another possible embellishment. You remember the Norman knight who rode about throwing his sword up into the air and cathing it? You could perhaps do a figure like that, by using a thin acrylic rod to suspend the sword.
