Hobby update – rebasing the giant

A few months ago (somewhere after Clash ’19) I painted up a giant. The story’s here: He’s been used only a few times and needs to be rebased after KoW3.

Since KoW3, the Giant is on a 75×75 base. I understand the giant base size for the Mantic giant, but my reaper bones giant looks a bit silly on a 75×75 base:

That said, I want to be able to use my model, so I’m gonna repaint my base to match his current base. As you can see, there’s a layer of cork and some PVA glue with sand. After this, I added some stones and a model tree. The result turned out pretty okay:

Now he’s done, there’s room in my painting station for new projects. This is one of them:

My 2nd human army was rumoured to be finished. In mirror matches, I found that the game lacked some speed, so I wanted some light cavalry to match the yellow-black reconnoiterers.

Recently I cleaned out my closet to get rid of some unwanted models. I found that one of these armies had a number of okay-ish painted light cavalry. With a bit of terracotta and red paint, the blue-white colour scheme was easily transformed in red-white. The models needed some touching-up in other spaces (the faces, primarily) but in an evening I transformed all the horses and three of the riders. Two more to go.

3rd project

There’s a 3rd project on my painting desk. While it’s still in its infancy, the crafty observer sees the start of a horde-level multibase.

I’ll keep you posted!

Until that time, Merry Christmas and Happy Hollidays.
