Not much experience with resin minis, but had picked up a bit here and there of late, including some dwarves from MOM Miniatures. I’d been keen to use the Green Stuff World rollers on bases for an army sized project for a while and this seemed appropriate. So I mixed together a bunch of Milliput and ended up having enough to cover 45 of the 48 bases I had on hand (3 more were added later…). Using the GSW ‘pavement’ rolling pin, pushed texture in and then gave them a day to set and trimmed the excess off the base edges with a hobby knife.

I’d previously soaked and washed all the resin that had arrived, so ended up pulling a block of 20 warriors out of the pile, along with a command frame of 3. Adding a character would make use of 24 bases, and would leave 24 so I could do this a second time once the mood takes me (I have to be in the right frame of mind for prep work as I tend to drop/lose small fiddly parts reasonably often…). I think I got them to mostly rank up even on 20mm bases? Minis went together really well and I think has gotten me over my fear of working on resin.

Also picked up a resin steam tank, this time from Norba. I think they have now discontinued resin in favour of plastic, so not sure if they will be revisiting this particular kit in the future. Regardless, have gotten it mostly assembled, but still a few gaps to address. I’ll paint the tank commander separately and attach him later.

really effective looking basing. The models look great, how do you rate the Norba stuff, I’ve never seen it in the flesh
