If I may? I think the basing looks great as is.  

Very good unit! Get them in the painting competition quick!

Very impressive 

 

Given the limited palette on the figures I would also suggest not adding any more colour to the basing

Gravestone looks fine to me, not everyone can afford a talented monumental mason

I'm with Roy and Paul, on that. 
Potentially might get a little fussy with more flock on the base ?
Works perfectly for me, as is.

I would agree with the other experts here, the basing sets off the figures perfectly. If you want to do something to - finish - them, then perhaps a dry brushed white highlight around the edge of the graveston might lift it a little?

Thanks for the responses. Looks like there's a concensus on no more flock although I must confess to being a 'fuzzy baser' at heart . Although most of my other flock would dwarf these little fellas.
Molinary, thanks I think I'll edge the stone (I'm trying to resist squeezing RIP on to it!). And lemmy, - painting competition hasn't gone unnoticed although my dream of entering these as part of an army is likely to remain just that.
But a quick question - does anyone have any photos of painted undead cavalry? I couldn't find many after a quick search. I'm torn between painting the flat bits (i.e. not bone) on the mounts as flesh or barding. Went for barding but would be good to see how flesh works to maybe add some variety. I suspect, having painting it as barding it may have been sculpted as flesh!

thanks
Will

Beautiful!
IT is flesh, convinced of it...

I took it to be rotting bits of flesh and skin, when I was working on the 'revamp'.

Aye, they're boney! Well done. I like the gravestone and the amount of flock - I'd leave it as is.

Well these took a little longer than planned. Caught on the horns of failing to account for half term and a nasty bout of man-bola. They were intended to be an entry for the painting competition, so I took a little longer over them but, like all proper cavalry, their timing is a little off .
Despite the rotting flesh looking suspiciously like tattered barding these are wonderful figures and I think my favourite of the range so far.
Hope you like them.

Very nice indeed

Take care

Very nice indeed, that man !
