I found I couldnt stack the bases if they had the spears overarm.

Me also, fortunately a quick twist with the pliers and the pose is spot on. Still not sure what to do with the cavalry that is spearing its own left nipple though.

Rounded corners.....a proper beer mat.

Did you take your pocket Dremel with you in case of non-compliance ?

One giant badger, one morokanth with spear and nothing else.

This week I'm sprucing up some old Napoleonics for a game in two weeks: some AB Old Guard artillery who are now 25 years old and have seen better days and a model by Old Glory of Marshal Massena in his carriage at Wagram (that's the scenario I'm doing). His carriage is painted green, but it should actually be white, hence the re-paint.

Every bloody manufacturer I’ve patronised during this Ottoman ‘expansion’ project makes figures substantially bigger than the Peter Pig & Dixon’s lads in my current 12-point DBN army.

To the extent that it’s bothering me to see them next to each other.

Fudge.
This is how ‘add some bases’ becomes ‘whole new army’, innit?

Plasticard, looked at buying a couple of packs of 20x25mm bases for Fram but the p&p doubled the cost. £1.50 for a sheet of 40 thou plasticard. Jaegers and the Brigadier General already based and loads left.

Sounds like you need to bow to the inevitable and get yourself a few 18mm figures to fill in the gaps and match the bigger guys you already have.......hmmm if only I knew where you could get some!

Fuck’s sake it’s like summoning the devil.

But...

Since you mention it...

I am going to need some of your artillery.

How do we do this, then?
