Last month I mentioned that I'd started working on sorting out the boxes of 1/72 plastic Aztecs that I'd rediscovered. The figures themselves were painted well...they came from 2 lots on Ebay and while one set are noticeably better than the other, neither is too shabby at all. But in both sets the figures were based in multiples...possibly for a DBx rule set and I really prefer to have them individually based so that I can use them for skirmish level games.
So I've been beavering away rebasing the first batch of Conquistadors. Rebasing is one of those tasks that people seem to hate but I find it strangely therapeutic...it's pretty mindless but I can listen to some music and plod away until they are all completed.
I've been using bases from Minibits which I'd picked up at Salute. The figures have also been dipped in some Army Painter dip and just need a matt varnishing which I'll give them tomorrow
The original figures are here...
...and the rebased figures are here...
Now on to the Aztecs...
Fantastic job, beautiful figures...
