Hi Party With, welcome to the forum.
The movie canon seems to suggest that Ururk Hai never fare well against horse, or much of anything else, really. More show than substance. 

I am very partial to static grass but for my bases I use mainly flock and a smattering of 2mm-4mm tufts.

Hi Sydney, nice to get an Aussie sheila on the forum for a change.

Wow what a welcome - Cheers to you all!

Looking at the basing you have done is just amazing, I didn't know you could get such results in this scale.  Thanks for your explanations. It has given me a lot to work with.

Orcs - your prediction is probably right, except for one thing maybe - catching the buggers.  The Don are hard to catch, even Uruk tire, and the Don might just be able to 'do a Bradbury' as we say in Aust (the Aust short track speed skater who in 2002 was the first athlete from the southern hemisphere to win an Olympic gold after his more fancied opponents crashed out on the last turn...)

Leman - very sorry to disappoint.

Welcome to the forum from across the Tasman JJ

I'm sure "the Don" would hit the Uruks for six 

Here's quick video of my basing technique. 

Got a bit carried away. Was only meant to be for a Centurion.


In the desert.

Brilliant Milord Oik! 

I had not thought about basing my 10mm on a single piece of 1 meter by 50cm foam with a road running through it, but watching the clip it seems the only way to go.

Stick with the forum. You learn all sorts.    Actually, ask Westmarcher his basing technique, and you'll get something similar to the video. 


You know. I think you will fit in well here.

Especially as he's already referring to you as 'Milord Oik, Nobby'. 

(And no...I still have tried that link yet ! )

Cheers - Phil

fsn's basing method.

That's about right.    Certainly for tiny aircraft.

So the competing basing suggestions appear to be: a) large foam board with road; or b) strangely uniform green lumpy bits of plastic.

Each compelling but each not quite there yet.  The answer must be ...

combine the two. No stopping me now!

Yeah, perhaps there is a third way.
