Re-basing is a horrible job. There’s the danger of destroying a paint-job or even a figure as you take them off the old bases. Then there’s the tedium of gluing the figures to the new base, adding the basing material, dry-brushing and flock…and after all that you haven’t actually added any more figures to the collection.
On the other hand, you have schroffed up figures that you might never have used again. Although I love playing a cataphract/horse-archer army, I had unconsciously avoided doing so as I didn’t like the basing.
All that has now changed, and my Sassanids will once again be taking the field in the very near future…once I’ve re-based the elephants, infantry etc of course!
So, in the end, well worth the effort.

Regular readers will know that I want to buy myself a Norman army with the new CAD designed range from Museum Miniatures.
Well, why haven’t you, I hear you cry?
Unfortunately my rule this year is that I can’t buy any new figures until I have painted an equivalent number from the lead mountain.
Stupid rule, I know, but said mountain was getting a bit out of control!
