The Basing is complete!

 So I managed to get all one hundred and sixty bases done on Sunday. I was basing from approx. Three pm until approx 9pm, but at a leisurely pace, whilst watching Red Dwarf and drinking pints of strong sweet tea with milk (is there any other way?). I have also now finished my first read through of Wargaming Campaigns by Henry Hyde, a marvellous resource, but also a surpringly engaging read. Mr. Hyde definitely has talent as a hobby writer. Not at any point was I bored or did it feel like a chore for what could so easily have been a useful but dry affair, difficult to get through as a stand alone read. My. Hydes passion for this subject is obvious from the start. 

I decided on a very basic basing affair. It simply involves smothering each base Vallejo light earth texture paint stuff, and then dipping it a mixed concoction of dry sand, small stones, and a bit of static grass, turf/clump stuff. I think it’s quite effective and doesn’t involve the time consuming process of staining and then dry brushing the textured base once dry. I may yet add a tuft of some description to each base. Let me know what you think? Does it look naff? Or, does it look suitable? 

Now, what shall I paint next for the Murids? Their small light artillery units? The rabble infantry (60), or the mounted raiders (I think 48 total), the C-in-C group with Imam Shamil himself, or, the small camp/baggage stuff?
