Soap Dodger's Kings of War.

Basing

So I had my models all looking done enough. how I needed to mount them.

I done my bases as before using laser cut magnetised bases clad in plastic card. I initially set out to make two bases of 3 models for  two regiments or a horde. I painted these a little big and also got my base sizes wrong and through they were monstrous infantry instead of large infantry.

So two models per base instead of 3. should still be ok considering you can play the game with just the bases. I also made these so they can split onto 4 regiment bases, 2 horde bases or 1 legion base which you can see below.

I based these as before I tried to do this quickly with the same steps.

• Terrain dark earth effects
• Scatter some foam flock
• Scatter some roots from a bag of sterilised roots from the garden (no glue required) push it down a little in places
• Wait until dry
• Add tufts using superglue
• Spray tufts black
• Paint dark green by hand and highlight with lighter green.
• Black oil wash to give the look of dead farm / scrubland.
• Nice black rim and matt varnish via airbrush.

I was just getting this done so didn’t take photo’s and you can see similar steps below.

Photography

I hate taking pictures of regiments Nothing is big enough. Here I cheated a little. don’t think these are forever photo’s but it shows them much better than before which is the point.

I go through phases in photography, trying to get infinite blacks in camera and whites, fully made scenery pieces then backdrops. but recently i have been doing them like this:

This takes ages and I want to paint more things so I cheated and used different selection tools and just didn’t bother to cut out the middle of stuff. I also lost focus on a couple of the sections of the photos. So these are not forever photos but i think they show the detail much better then the phone shots above.  So 10 minutes for 3 photo’s instead of around an hour a photo.
