I decided to do the bases quickly by just adding some sand and baking soda to give a look of rocks or debris over Sand. I did the flat top bases first which worked out well but the glue didn’t want to stick to the Caesar plastic so only the first of the standing fugures got any basing prior to priming. I will have to add the basing material and then reprime the rest of the standing figures after initial priming.

The Caesar minis don’t come with any bases (Audrey from small ones on the standing tops) so I quickly designed and 3d printed some 20mm bases.

For the standing figure I made it so the models slot into the base with the existing base, for the kneeling figures I just did a standard flat top, for the wall climbing models I had to change the depth and size of the cutout from the standing model, and for the laying figures I made some 32.5x20mm oval bases.

Images coming shortly.

I was searching for away to get some modern military miniatures and being in Canada the cost of shipping was making it hard to justify the cost of ordering from overseas when i still haven’t decided on a ruleset i want to use yet. I then found some Caesar Miniatures on Amazon.ca. I ordered some British and some militia minis as they had that was an ok price ($17 for the brits, US troops were $44!)
