When James and I played some Chain of Command a couple of weeks ago it irked me that my German leaders were on the same sized bases as the rank and file while the French ones stood out more on the larger bases.
A quick order to Northstar I picked up a pack each of German Infantry Command and German Infantry in Greatcoats Command
One of the benefits of keeping the blog is that I can easily find articles like this one I wrote five years ago with the paint recipes.
The figures are based on Renedra 30mm round bases so that they stand out from the other troops in the force.
The first four will be used as senior leaders while this next four will make suitable junior leaders for our Chain of Command games.
I may now do the same for some of my other forces.
An excellent excuse to buy more toys🙂 Nicely turned out too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, I never seem to need much encouragement.....
DeleteGreat idea. I did something similar using 25mm hex bases for my leaders
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil, I agree and now prefer them on different bases to the regular troops.
DeleteYour figures look great Paul. The different sized bases is a visual aid on table.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter
DeleteGood looking addition to guide your forces.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
DeleteHaving just dipped a toe into 28mm WW2, I am now thinking about rebasing some figures. Thanks ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, enjoy the rebasing ;)
DeleteI think the larger bases for the leaders was a good idea.
