Crusader Spearmen unit
It has been a long time since I last worked on my Crusader force. In the meanwhile I managed to get my first complete unit finished.
Frankish Crusader spearmen miniatures by Perry Miniaturs painted by Tankred
Regiment base with magnet bases, plastic card and quarter rods
The sicilian frankish command Multibase
Casualty Marker for diminished Regiments. I learned the Blood technic from Finarfin.
Plastic card regiment Multibase with metallic foil and quarter polystyrol rods
I used to think about a magnet basing system. Unfortunately it did not work very well, it took ages to prepare and I think Field of Glory needs another scale besides 28mm. Therefore and for the reason that Frank Bauer and Grimm showed me their WAB forces I decided that all I did was too complicated.
Finally I found my way to base the miniatures:
3 Multibases for the front and single miniatures in the rear in order to be used in Skirmish games as well.
I used Plastic card for the Regiment base. I added a metallic foil and glued quarter rods made of polystyrol as a base corner. It worked excellent far more elegant than the Warhammer Multibases and a little bit nicer than the mere Magnet bases.
