Just uploaded the games we played this past Monday - "Junk in the Trunk" - elephant themed armies. Another bunch of interesting and enjoyable games lads, but can I ask you Tony why you didn't choose your Rajputs? I wanted to try the Ptolemaics AND I did not want to play keep away with the three knights and the four bw units from all the elephants. Had I know I was going to face Marty's army my Rajputs would have cleaned house.

I have considered a second elephant and Cm also, but this conversion to 3.0 is way down on the list Especially since the Rajputs were done when I was doing a different basing material so I would have to rebase the whole army.

Basing materials are a nightmare, I've got it down to a tile grout mixed pva then a layer of modelling sand again mixed with pva. Then I use a base colour, usually a dark brown and then dry brush whatever colour I need to show the theatre the army belongs in, light browns for dry and grass or simular greans for arable and so on. Then I lightly add a grass type flock to the base close to the models feet and it looks fine. I added white for light snow for my swiss. This way if I need to add bases it's easy to blend and saves rebasing.

Hungry for Hungarians is now up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwkkkZJZEjQThis is a set of FOUR DBA 3.0 battles featuring some of the enemies of my newly completed Later Hungarian IV/43c army. Mitch plays the role of the enemies and features the following opponents: IV/55b Ottoman Turks IV/13d Medieval Germans IV/66 Later Polish IV/80 Hussites Check these battles out to see if it was worth it after working on this army for the last 6 months or so.
