Rebasing Again

A little while ago I made the fateful decision to base my Iron Brigade on larger bases, this was due to the 1st Corps figures and their weapon positions. An extra 10mm was added to the base depth.

However, this on second thoughts wasn't the best idea as it may lead to complications over movement etc. so after a day or so thinking about it I decided to jump in and rebased them. It turns out the large rifles and bayonets can be based with a little careful placing.

All is well again in the universe, the Iron Brigade can now go toe to toe with the Rebs without any movement issues. I have around eight bases of finished figures that will need the same procedure. 

It made total sense to rebase these figures before they were finished to save on any damage being done to the paint work. I also found a handy curved dentist tool which made removing the glued figures a dream. 

Rebasing is a wargamers curse.

The really good thing about revisiting these old figures again that have sat gathering dust for over a year, maybe two...is at least I may finish them now.

 The curved tool acts as a lever to pry the figures off their old bases.

Update, I've dug out the rest of the regiment and rebased them too. These were much more of a challenge with their flocked bases, so I'm glad I bit the bullet early on with the others.

It was a pain rebasing the finished unit but it was a chore worth doing...
