Hail Caesar Epic Carthage alternative basing

[@marksfishfrenzy]

I really like the basing especially how the cavalry look

[@scotty7906]

@@marksfishfrenzy thanks. I wasn't keen on the bases that came in the box

That's so original and looks brilliant mate

Very very nice mate, thank you for the inspiration

[@scotty7906]

many thanks. glad I could help. hopefully a battle report in the near future.

Excellent! I'm a fan of 'diorama' basing, doing the same with 28mm, but makes great sense in this scale!

[@scotty7906]

thanks. yes I do prefer to have some activity on bases.

[@paulbenson9015]

Great looking Army, love the bases and the way you've applied them. Looking forward to seeing the Romans. Well done👍

[@scotty7906]

many thanks. I am working on the romans at the moment. done 1 unit each of hastati/principes and triarii and velites. just got to base them.

[@BootsontheTable]

love that approach to basing them - i originally had the same idea but havent yet been brave enough to split a strip yet! Very effective

[@scotty7906]

many thanks.. splitting the gauls and iberian scutarii is very easy... slight cut around the shoulder/shield edge... use some snips at the base and then simply bend back...then a quick clean up with a blade.

[@mhewson]

Well I'm a convert to your basing system - they look grand. what are you using for your basing materials? I hope to see your romans soon!

[@scotty7906]

@@mhewson many thanks. I use base ready mix from geek gaming. Cracking on with some Romans now. Seem to paint quite quick with the warlord 3 rank bases

[@SENOJYDNAR]

You painted the heck out of those troops! Cheers mate.

[@scotty7906]

thanks pal

[@jahvyn]

Excellent - I've split my Napoleonic strips v easily and I think it'll give me more flexibility in how I field them. Your stands really do look great

[@scotty7906]

thanks. yep did same with my Napoleonic strips.

[@inkomstskatt]

Great work, they look splendid! What sizes are the MDF-bases?

[@scotty7906]

thanks. I am using 90x70mm bases for Cavalry, warbands and Phalanx units and 90x40mm bases for standard/skirmish units

[@philRminiatures]

Truly splendid, some impressive and realistic stands here Scotty...Thumbs up!!

[@scotty7906]

many thanks. Credit goes to warlord for some very nice figures that look good on mass.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Nice to see you back mate,and they look superb

[@scotty7906]

many thanks. Good to be back. Hopefully this will be one of those magical projects that get finished.

[@sandtable8091]

Terrific looking army, well done indeed. Can I ask what scale the figures are please?

[@scotty7906]

thanks. they are warlord games epic scale. so about 13mm

[@norm977]

Superb, glad you are posting again. Your plans look great. I am also aiming for the Trebbia order of battle, but doing a bit of a duo by also doing Trebbia with the boardgame SPQR (Great Battles of History by GMT). I haven’t glued anything down yet, so I am pleased that you have showed this system, which I like very much. What size bases are you using? I am intrigued by your Roman base … a good imagining of a ‘small’ unit.

[@scotty7906]

thanks, appreciated. I am using 90x70mm bases for Cavalry, warbands and Phalanx units and 90x40mm bases for standard/skirmish units. I thought the 90x70mm bases would look better for that classic chequerboard pattern of roman units.

[@norm977]

@@scotty7906 thanks, its absolutely inspiring, I’ve watched it 3 times now!

[@damianzeate977]

cool!

[@richardelliott3962]

Good job, these look great. What materials are you using for your basing?

[@scotty7906]

I use a ready mix from Geek Gaming Scenics. They have quite a few options.

[@jimboonlyone]

Looks good Kinda curious how you play them by the rules

[@scotty7906]

@@jimboonlyone thanks. Just doing some Romans so hopefully a test game soon

[@davidwasilewski]

Lovely looking forces! What rules are you using? Modified HC?

[@scotty7906]

thanks. Am using the Hail caesar rules that come in the starter set
