ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Yup!… More Rebasing.

Greetings…

Here are another two rebased Roman units…

As before spears have been replaced and a little sprucing has happened…



There will be a slight pause in rebasing and maybe a slow down in painting as I sort through… and find somewhere to put… the forty odd 2x2 foot terrain boards I have just acquired.



They have been well loved and well played with so they are in need of some light sprucing and the odd repair… hopefully it won’t be too long before I have the toys out on them.

All the best.  Aly

  6. Some cracking looking figures, Aly, Love the arid, bleached colour you used for the bases. That's a lot of terrain board to store, will they be propping up your bed?

  7. The basing looks great
    The terrain boards are a major project, unless you can just ' re flock '

    1. Thank you Joe…
      Hopefully it should only take a bit of re-flocking to spruce up the boards…

      I have a few more units and then a bunch of command stands to do and that should be the last of it…

  9. Lovely looking Romans Aly the rebasing is working well. The boards are a great addition. But yes 40 will take up a LOT of space !

    1. Thank you Matt…
      The boards will save me making brand new ones… Which was my intention…. I had already allocated some space in the cellar.

      All the best. Aly

  10. Always like the idea of terrain squares, but the storage issue is a challenge.

    1. I am lucky enough to have enough space in my cellar…
      I should be able to fit a few more flat/ moorland/ grassland ones in there as well…

      All the best. Aly

  11. Those terrain boards look pretty good, I'm interested to see how well they go together. Old-school figures somehow look better on terrain boards as opposed to cloths - but with so many figures to paint I just can't seem to get round to doing terrain.
    BTW did those archers really wear purple? I thought that was just for emperors, or do they just have a high opinion of themselves?

    1. I’m very pleased with them Rob…
      You really have to set a fair amount of time aside to make a pile of terrain boards…So this has given me a head start.
      The Archers are Purple because that’s the colour David painted them…😄.
      Although I do like the idea that they have got a high opinion of themselves…
      All the best. Aly

    1. Thank you Mark…
      I new when I was having the cellar Tanked out that I wanted space for Terrain… So it was designed in… Fingers crossed there should be enough room.🤞

      All the best. Aly
