I like that the new bases aren't so clean and stark

A worthy goal my friend! They look great, and really finish off the models nicely. To be honest, the original photo looks like they're half finished, while the newer pictures really beds them in- I can imagine them charging through the streets of Osgiliath :D.

Did you use small pieces of cardboard for the bases?
Tell us a bit more about it, it looks good!

Good idea to tie the force in.

Thanks everyone! I put pieces of cardboard to represent bricks, then I put on bits and pieces of sand scattered around it to make it appear as if they were fighting through once a great city now in ruin.
