    Basing ideas for Piggies

    So I started up Farrow because I thought they'd be fun to paint. Turns out they are.
    However I forgot about basing, and it got me to wondering what kinds of inserts would look good for Farrow?

    Just wondering if anyone has any cool ideas on base theme or some neat inserts that would look good with the army? All I have done (and own at the moment, amazon is all over the place) is the War Hog, painted pretty traditionally beyond the skin.

    Yay pigs!



    There's the only picture I have of my pigs on-hand... I was just getting back into the hobby at the time so I decided to go with a more generic-y base- Cork Rocks, gravel painted in Desert Colors with Green Static Grass.

    I always thought a sort of scrap heap basing theme would be good for pigs, and fit their overall steampunk nature...
    Sort of like this:


    or, on a bigger scale, like this (minus the obvious 40k Elements):


    Edit: YIKES! Picture sizes. Let me see if I can fix that.
