Rebasing

So I was initially going to base the miniatures on paper bases but I had all these Litko bases laying around and decided to re-base the miniatures on those.  So for the pike blocks I am basing 9 minis on a 2 in square base and the musketeers I am basing four minis on a 40 x 30mm base.  I am really happy with the results and they look a lot more sturdy.  Not too much work on the coloring front.  I've been working on a side project for a Con that my friends and I do every year.  I am making some Viking minis that will be using with these rules called Age of Blood that I found on the internet.  Seems like a really cool skirmish game.  Once I finish with the Viking minis I will be going back to the Arnsburg project full time.  I have several infantry regiments and one Curassier regiment printed out for Arnsburg.  Working on putting those together and basing them.  With the vast majority of the Arnsburg army done I will be able to focus on the 3 remaining armies and should start gaming by Summer.  This project has stretched out longer than I thought but I didn't realize how much work went into something like this.  I couldn't imagine how long it would take me if I were trying to do this with actual 3D miniatures.  The painting would take me years!  Creating the world in which this war will take place has been the most satisfying for me.  Coming up with a cast of characters and how this war will impact their lives I think will be worth it.  After I get all the troops done I want to do some special minis for the commanding generals on each side so they will have their own personalities.
