First Gallic Warband Element

Here's my first warband element for my Gallic army (II/11). The army list is as follows:
 1x3/4Wb or LCh (Gen), 2x LCh or 3Cv, 8x3Wb, 1x2Ps. With the Italeri set I just got, I have enough figures to make all the warband elements, the warband/general element, and the psiloi element. Plus quite a few guys left over for some extra warbands, if I feel like doing BBDBA. (Here are two links to the lowdown on BBDBA, if you're unfamiliar with it. BBDA Strategy Basics and Big Battle DBA.)
 For a 3Wb element, the base is 30mm deep. I guess the smaller number of figures and the deeper bases are supposed to simulate the loose order of Gallic warbands. My bases are cut from 1/8 inch plywood bought from a local craft store. This is a good basing material - of course, everybody has their favorite basing method, but thin plywood works well. It's heavy enough to provide a firm, steady base, and its also cheap - for a 12"x12" sheet, I only paid about $3. Also, it won't warp or chip.
The bases were finished quite simply, but I like the effect: I painted the base in dark tan, then brushed it with a wash of glue, water, and black paint. When this was dry, I drybrushed it in buff to bring out the details, then flocked it with two types of Woodland Scenics flock; light green static grass, then clumps of darker green flock.

One problem with the Italeri set: there are  only two types of shields, and these two patterns get really boring. So for this guy's yellow shield, I painted over the raised pattern until it was obscured, then painted on my own pattern. 

One down, seven more to go.
