Not only does multiple figure basing speed up movement it also looks better.Nice looking unit btw.

I'm really enjoying your insights into basing. You've a lot of great ideas. The two base make one approach is quite effective. Nice one.

I'm planing some Saxons at the moment which I would have loved to multi-base but unfortunately they are for a skirmish game.

Mate, that's a great idea. I've been struggling with the same dilemma and this is the answer!

Since my 15mm armies and rules are heavily influenced by Simon McDowell, most are based in 'double elements'. They're great and give a better visual impact.

I'm just curious though; if you can get the gunk in between the ranks why can't you ge the paint in there too and save you snapping things apart?

Hi James, a very good point- I could have explained that better! I'll go back and edit it.

I apply the gunk to each half of the base, then put them next to each other and use my pallette knife to disguise the join. It is a lot easier than doing a single base.

OK that makes much more sense. It is annoying to get ground material up on the figures ankles.

I usually just hide that in some grass when it happens though!

Hi James, long grass would help. I hate it when I mess up cloaks or shields.

I editied the original post to make it clearer.
