Rebasing DBA

Just a brief post about some rebasing I did this week. I've had these armies since v1.0 of the rules, but since I got a copy of v 3.0 recently I thought I'd update them to the new lists and freshen them up a bit.

Nebuchadezzar, or similiar

These armies are historical opponents from Book I, being Later Hebrews I/34c and Later Babylonians I/44b.

The Babylonian army

The figures are all Chariot Miniatures, until fairly recently available from Magister Militum.  But since MM closed down I have no idea who will now supply these again (if ever).

Later, Hebrews

I chose these opponents because I thought it would be interesting to pit spears and bowmen against a significant number of auxilia, which is what the Hebrews can field, as well as having a couple of heavy chariots for both sides.

Hebrew auxilia

Rebasing consisted of fixing the original thin cardboard stands to 2mm mdf from Warbases, and then adding my usual mix of coarse shelly sand painted in a sandy colour and dry brushed white.  I glued on some areas of 2mm dead grass from WWScenics and that was it. 

Serious congestion reported on the Jerusalem North Circular

I think these are very nice figures and I intend to give them an outing at some point, probably a solo game (as I slowly teach myself DBA v3.0) using the same solo rules used here.
