damn, you're right, my sense of scale was completely off! I should have picked that up from the cherry tomatoes..

I really like your infantry minis great paint scheme! Only critique I could give would be to try and find a smaller grain gravel (is that the right word? I mean the small pebbles/stones on the bases) you based the units with, it looks kind of big compared to the infantry.



Yeah my tau gave me headaches, they broke a lot when I filed down the bases. But the detail on this particular "brand" is extraordinary so their worth it. I don't know if I'd have the patience to do it on a hoard army though like IG, but I'm very much tempted by the DKoK they are just wonderful!

I guess that's the problem with using vegetables to measure scale..

Been a while since my last update, and there won't be any pics today, but I'm asking for advice/opinions....

I've just taken delivery of another 2 sets of Canadians and I'm wondering about rebasing from the 2p pieces onto the FOW style bases.....

I love the round bases, but unfortunately the 2p pieces are slightly too small to mount my normal sized vehicles on, and GW don't make a 50mm round base, so my super heavies either dwarf, or are dwarfed by, the two production round bases on offer.....

the rules are:
1. I don't want to mix round and square bases
2. I want to eventually base all of my army

do I go to the hassle of cutting some 30mm and 50mm round bases from steel (I work with lots of precision cutting tools so this isn't as big a problem as it may seem) or are there alternatives I'm missing?

Have you tried looking at Renedra's range of bases?

I did, and they didn't seem to have anything in the two sizes I mentioned unfortunately....

There are several different sizes of round bases that you can get, eithjer via ebay or direct from companies such as Renedra.

I picked up some 40mm round bases from ebay- these are the same size as GW use for their LOTR cavalry. I tried them with my Ork Stompas. I was concerned these were too big so I hunted down some 30mm round plastic bases. I got them from ebay a couple of days ago- just waiting for them to arrive.

I also did some sentinels but the pic is a tad crappy (rubbish macro mode on this phone)

Man, those are some nice looking robot chicken thingies.

thanks oman, I painted up some equally nice Armas and AOTs last night too, but they still need regimental markings and mud splattered on the tracks...... I need some more AOTs too.....
