A cunning strategy. Make your army so pretty your opponent forgets he is supposed to destroy it.

HereWeGo, just beautiful and thanks for sharing! I've incorporated your 3D basing with clay bluffs for my Pontic army and it's turning out very nicely. I must confess that while my painting I'll never be able to freehand an eagle catching a snake on a 15mm banner! I'll have to be satisfied with nice basing!

[HereWego]

Thanks for kind comments!

@ helot2000

thanks but at that size it is nearly impossible to paint. So i used a decal for banner Glad that i could inspire you to make 3d bases - its worth Do you have pictures?

Thanks for linking.No, i did not scratch it. The tent is from a company called "baueda"

This is excellent work - the basing really brings the figures to life.

There's no blood on those pikes... oh, wait, they're Xyston pikes... just wait a game or 2.

*explanation for English*

Xyston pikes are so sharp that even though you didn't put blood on the pikes, in a game or two you'll end up with blood on your pikes - real human blood

Those are great results! I learn a lot from your basing techniques and the combination you make of the MiniNatur is fantastic.

I think that you could get fantastic results if you decide to go for a double base with these 1st rank guys from Warmodelling. The Xyston ones lack a little bit of movement. It would be a perfect diorama given your basing.

Oh nice idea! i have to try that!

Thanks a lot for advise!!

After finishing Pyrrhic forces they will be serving in my FoG army. Completed elements:

As a belated thought on the puddles on the bases, if you continue to do them I would try to make them complete on a base rather than a partial puddle cut off at the edge. I think that contributed a lot to them looking odd especially in the less close up photos and would tend to look odd on the table without having bases carefully positioned to form a complete puddle. If you had a rock formation with a flat side at a base edge where it was arbitrarily cut offit would look similarly odd although still be more apparent that it is a rock formation.

Oh, very good link. Thanks for sharing.

Now i understand. Yes, those bits should be puddles

Yes, the close up pictures do them justice. I'm edging towards them not being 'quite right' though. It doesn't QUITE do it for me. Maybe (not sure) if you put some reeds propping through the puddle (like a marsh) and a slightly different colour and it would be perfect.

Please, don't consider this anything but friendly advise. I think they are absolutely beautiful models.

No problem. I am not very pleased with the puddles too. I will omit them in the army or make them darker. But on the Thracian bases that was a test for me how they look like

Put some reeds around them is a nice idea. I will try that. Thanks for very good advises

Damn.. nearly more than one year gone since the last post

Okay, I have completed painting my Agrianians. Bases and shields have to be done.
