The irregular bases were very much a throw back to the early pictures of Gildr and Mason command stands at the WHC which graced the pages of Miniature Wargames, BAttle for Wargamers and the early editions of Wargames Iluustrated. I like the look very much though I do still have commanders like yourself on round bases, the odd shaped ones are my favourites.Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840039143606577641.post-30869868204327346552015-08-08T14:39:48.774-07:002015-08-08T14:39:48.774-07:00Another grand playable vignette Carlo and another ...Another grand playable vignette Carlo and another 10/10.<br /><br />Currently I base my lower ranking commanders on round bases and the higher level on square ones as a shorthand of their stature in the hierarchy.
