Time to start basing. Not a task I enjoy but it has to be done. I also have a shortage of bases, and with the retirement of Tony from ERM, it's off to Warbases.

The British troops from the Sudan campaigns were first up.

 

 

Next 36 Saxon Thengs from Gripping Beast's plastic range. I bought these start of the lockdown, inspired by The Last Kingdom we were rewatching on Netflix. These were sprayed with wraithbone and all the paints used were from the contrast paint range. 28mm figures is where I believe contast paints come into their own. They were then washed with Allys Brown Liquid. The blue and the red shields were done with normal paints to give more depth of colour.  These figures are on 40mm x 40mm and intend to use the Swordpoint rules when they finally get to the table.
