Dressing the Line

 With the other two bases finished, I took the opportunity to get them all together and add some battle debris. Broken shields and weapons and spears stuck in the ground.
This warrior has thrown down his heavy shield and unslung his short bow.
 These bits and bobs help to tell little stories in each base and add to the drama. I’ve just noticed there is a spot where the ground mix didn’t get to around the feet of the Dwarf with the spear, must fix that.


 I wanted to give the impression that the shield wall was hard pressed and under a lot of pressure, I think the extra details help with that illusion. The base below is one of the new ones with a wild charge getting started.


I also added shields etc to the back ranks to fill out the bases.

Fantastic looking units. I love the dirtiness of them. They look well campaigned,but in the right ways.
