Simple, straightforward and relatively inexpensive - should be able to bash these out in no time! Thanks Jdub!

[@jwminiatures]

I'm glad you enjoyed it mate. Looking forward to seeing some in your army!

[@Wijkert]

A very natural looking base wich I definitely prefer. I would suggest to trim the tufts to make them look a little more in scale with the mini and the rest of the base. Maybe also add some wash where the tufts are glued onto the base, to integrate them a little more.

[@jwminiatures]

Thank you. Yeah you could definitely trim them, it’s all down to personal preference. Some of the wash was applied to those areas but I generally rely on the pigments to integrate the tufts into the base but it does vary depending on the style of the base.
