Those are awesome looking! Great job on the very clean colors and blending. I really like the bases since they are much different than any I have seen!

Some excellent conversions there!
VeezCon products:  Not as good as if they had been actually produced by a real figure company, but better than using your shoe to proxy with...sort of!

I thought flocking the bases as that was pure standard and many did it that way....
Iīm not very good at sculpting bases as oftenly seen in the game that might not be named and done as I did itīs pretty cheap and absolutely easy.
2 hours time for flocking about 30 models at a price of approx. $6 and flocking material left for about another 80 minis.

Yes, you are correct. If you take the time paint a model the bases have to be finished also. I was commenting on the colors used on the bases/flock etc. They look much different than what people use around here.

Aaaah now I get it!

I wanted something different and with the coming autumn I thought it wuld be nice to have it a bit that way, so I mixed the natural green with a bit of gravel brown and I got the displayed one.

On my Brotherhood army I used a more garish yellow flocking because I tend to forget models on the field and so they are much better visible ;-)

Thanks, it is a neat effect.

Does it mean, that you change the base decoration for our next game in winter into something snowy white  ;)

But by seeing your pics I can understand why it took a little longer to finish your models.

Aaaaahm, I think not..... But it would be pretty easy to enhance them that way. Theres the decoration spray for windows for a snow effect.
Target the base and give it a good shot and voilá, you got a water soluble winter coat on your base ;-)
Iīll think on it....
