What to do about Parthian foot, if anything? HaT's foot number six, three archers three javelin. The 3.0 options include: 2 Ps (archers), 2 3Ax (mountaineers which could be javelin and handaxe) and those swap with 2 3Bw (city militia)!
The way I see these elements, I can add in one skythian foot archer to make the 4 Ps minis needed, 3 skythian handaxe minis to make the number of Ax minis needed, and rope in Roman Auxiliary eastern archers if I want the 6 Bw minis the city militia would need.
I hate making bases, I'm just not good at it. But I knew I had to have something for the various 'home' sides set in Italy. Inspired by plastic dominoes that were all the rage here a year or so ago, with bits of wood and cork added. This is a 'cross-section' concept by the way. I use the same effect for my Gallic base.
There have been many small steps - and I hope to simplify with the next lot - but this shows the second unusual technique, full terrain finish on each mini before basing.
This takes the first stage to just about the point where I'm ready to add terrain texture to each base. Weapons/standards are glued on using strong pva glue. It dries clear, this is about the third pass dotting glue on. Once dry I can varnish the weapons ready for paint. The varnish will strengthen the bond further.
