Old & New Viking commander

A couple  of years back I painted up a 15mm Essex Viking army. I was happy enough with the bulk of the army but the commanders base didn't seem to have the right look to it as you can see below.

I picked up a packet of Donnington New Era Viking command at show over a year ago but with the drilling of hands etc I put it on the back burner.

This was on my list of things to do this year and I've just finished it.

First up the Essex version



and now the New Era version



and both together 

As you can see I decided to raise the ground so the command seem to be overlooking the rest of the troops.

Thanks for taking the time to view.
