Bases are happening
Getting colour on basesI painted few bases to completion. In addition to the Fur Brown, I thought they needed another drybrush with the trusty German Camo Beige. Photo below.
Basing supplies and a test base
I got the flocks out and made a test base. This is following Mel’s guide to the point.
Test mini is unrelated to the project.
I quite like the result, and it’s fairly quick to do. To get a bit of variety, I might do some of the bases with the pathways, some not. For the larger bases, for the knights, I’ll probably need few larger tufts and/flowers.

Step number one, got to decide the basing theme. For this I reached out to the excellent basing guide PDF that came along with the Terrain Tutor’s book.
For something like the Barons’ War, I don’t want to get too carried way with the basing. The geographical scope is clearly set and you can imagine on what kind of places they would have fought. So fields, grasslands, perhaps roads/path ways.
Few picks from the Terrain Tutor’s guide below. Hope it’s okay to use few pictures here. Buy the book here: https://www.davetaylorminiatures.com/2021/03/16/terrain-essentials-is-now-available-to-the-public/
Great source of basing inspiration
