Thanks. The more I paint the more I'm realising the importance of the base. Not just that it must look good but that it must compliment the mini in style, colours, mood etc. Also making a mini fit a base can be awkward so I've found it easier to get them both ready before the painting.
With Vorag I'm going with cold colours on the base, blues , whites, greys and the mini warm colours. Just got so involved with the base and was enjoying it.
PS - Absolutely LOVE your GD entry with the soldier that's had the wrong leg cut off - wonderful!
