Usually chum Ian flocks my bases, but recently I've been basing so many things I have felt I should help to lighten his load, somewhat, and so have taken my trusty Flockbox out of storage.
The Flockbox is brilliant at some things- terrain, flat bases and skirmishers. It's much less effective at crowded bases with strong vertical elements, such as 28mm cavalry and pike. Ian does much better at these with his trusty Noch puffer bottle- he really gets between the legs. Luckily, this week's basing don't include anything difficult - the Swiss for this weekend's tournament and the baggage train for Roundway Down. I made the point of re-reading the instructions that come with the box which are very helpful. If you don't have one, and do a lot of basing, I'd recommend buying one, you can easily find it via Google.
Looks nice and busy Simon. I really need to investigate the flockulater! Everyone says it works tremendously well.
ReplyDeleteYou'd not regret buying one, Carlo. I've has tons of use out of this.
ReplyDeleteThe Flockbox is very useful, although I haven't had mine out for quite some time.
ReplyDeletejust to note that the one you have from Warpainter is no longer in production, but similar ones are available from various companies.
Thanks Tamsin- it was from Warpainter. I've not used mine for a year but it worked great and I won't leave it so long again!
