Hi Steve,

I looked into adopting a lighter sand-coloured basing system for my Numidians. I decided not to go with it, because:-

a) They wouldn't match the elements from other armies, for instance the Spanish and Roman allies, that I use with this army. I thought it would look better if all the bases in the army matchedmatched.

b) I think a lot of the time, when there was fighting, it may have taken place in the more fertile, better irrigated areas (that were worth fighting over!).

So... I went with the same colour as my other armies, but lightened it just a bit; I also used less static grass and fewer clumps.

I think the autumn/winter two colour Silflor clumps look great if you want some dried out vegetation.

Cheers, Simon
