Now that IS an idea!!<br /><br />@Derk – I’m using pre-cut 25mm circular bases which you can either get from Litko in the US (very high quality plywood, but a little expensive) or Warbases in Scotland (very reasonably priced MDF bases). The bases are laser cut from both Litko and Warbases and both are a 3mm depth. Both are great suppliers to order from, although Litko tend to cut to order and take a little while longer. The basing tray is Litko, although I’ve ordered a few from Warbases which are in bases of 6 (being the unit size we have been using).<br /><br />@Curt – Curt, thanks so much for posting. I think you’re the inspiration for the dice based casualty base! I could not remember where I’d seen it – so absolutely all credit to you.

I quite agree with you regarding AP - it's not better (and perhaps not worse). but it is just, well, different.<br /><br />@Arlequin: Many thanks indeed. As I've mentioned before, there's a lot more to come including some terrain.<br /><br />@Chris: Welcome Chris! Thanks for the comment. The Movement trays have really helped with keeping the figures in formation on sloping and undulating terrain. The ones I have are a little large and we've ordered some smaller ones. They should make it easier to look at a glance at groups and formations on the tabletop, and therefore help with sorting out trickier things like overlaps between opposing groups/formations. The casualty stands slot in behind the group or formation, reflecting stragglers and wounded.<br /><br />@Emilio: Many thanks for the tip. I shall be trying that!<br /><br />@Ray: No need to go on (but thanks anyway)!<br /><br />@ Phil: You're very welcome. Glad you're enjoying it so far!<br /><br />@Terry: The casualty markers are not an original idea. Sadly, I have no clue where I did get the idea from in the first place. If you know, please do tell me.<br /><br />@Monty and Rodger: Thank you both very much. As you will see form the next report, they look better than they play!

So I´ll give you another tip (free :P) Use nylon broom bristles for spears and flagpoles. As they are elastic, they don´t break, neither your fingers get impalled on them. The only problem is to find the ones with the right width. No problem for me, as I use mainly 15mm figurines.Milo Burghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09874386687073685709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-13189588290147284642012-02-15T18:21:15.434+00:002012-02-15T18:21:15.434+00:00Very nice.

I'm still going to try a few things and I'll report if I got the process going quicker, but still looking good.<br />As to a warband having all the same shield marking is possible. There may be no evidence as you said, but I see no reason why they wouldn't want to distinguish themselves in some way and so why not shields.:-)<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-60613519749250564982012-02-15T16:50:58.477+00:002012-02-15T16:50:58.477+00:00Thanks very much for the comments yesterday.

The Angles were in action in last night's game, so watch out for the AAR later this week.<br /><br />@Angry - thank you!<br /><br />@Michael - thanks. They probably look better in the photos than in the "flesh" so to speak! They're certainly not museum quality, but I did try to get the colours to blend a lot more than with the first batch of Saxons.<br /><br />@Anibal - Fantastic stuff. Dark Age Spain must be a really interesting period. I know there's some wargaming stuff around regarding the Reconquista. But as for the fifth and sixth centuries, I think you'll be ploughing a unique and fascinating furrow!<br /><br />@Old School - Thanks Old School! I feel I have got the hang of the AP dip, sort-of…! I'll certainly not say I dislike using it - but it is very different from a three-colour layering process.<br /><br />@Paul - very interesting point, thank you. To be honest, it was sheer fluke that I got away with it. until you mentioned it now, I don't think I had thought about the risk. I did cover the Styrofoam in PVA and grit scatter, and PVA-ed into the "dice well". Perhaps that gave the Styrofoam a coating which protected it. I shall be a lot more careful next time!
