Now that I have completed the army (by that, I mean the army that I will be displaying), there are a few things that still need to happen to properly finish things:

1. I need to varnish all of the miniatures.
2. I need to add some grass/tufts/flock to all the bases.
3. I need to plan and build a display base for the army.
4. I need to build some sort of protective cover that allows the army to be seen while keeping it safe and relatively dust free.

Here is the army. It is a Company sized army with command, support and three platoons of troops:

This thread will focus on the Cadian/display aspect of my army so the next few posts will likely be about planning/varnishing etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797632.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797632.page GMT Astra Militarum Squats.
1x Company Commander
1x Commissar
1x Company Command Squad (5 troops)
4x Primaris Psyker
2x Advisor Unit (6 troops)
2x Engineseer (10 troops)
1x Ratling Sniper Squad (5 troops)
3x Platoon Command Squad (15 troops)
3x Heavy Weapon Squad (18 troops)
6x Infantry Squad (60 troops)

That's a total of 125 troops that are all mounted on 25mm bases (for ease of display).

I'd like the scenic base to be built so that all of the troops can be seen from the front and that means that there will need to be a "terrace" of some sort. I'd also like it to have a rocky theme that matches the bases of the miniatures but with some fortifications of some sort... maybe a backdrop with a big gate sunk into a rock wall?

It's VERY early days with the planning and I have a number of other projects on the go so this will be a slow burner... however, I have got hold of a Hammerfall Bunker which may (or may not) be useful when deciding on the style of fortifications...

The scenic base being a few steppes outside a fortified base/wall makes a lot of thematic and artistic sense to me.

Will be following with interest! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797792.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797792.page GMT Astra Militarum Squats. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797845.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797845.page GMT Astra Militarum Squats.

Are you going to display some of your vehicles with the force?


The tanks are for another army (my 2nd edition, plastic Squats) so they won't be involved with the display. It'll purely be troops (until I make my own vehicles, rather than convert them ).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/818190/11797952.page GMT
