Hi guys. I need your expertise and artistic opinion. I've done up a few bases for you guys to look at as I can't decide what sort my Dwarfs should have. Please excuse the quality of the minis as they are rather old, and the fact that I am bringing the enemy here into our hallowed drinking establishment.

Background - My Throng is primarily made up of a group of miners that live south of Karak Norn in the Grey Mountains in a valley close to Loren forest. They are coal miners and export coal to the Empire and Brettonia. They live in a stockade at the top of the valley, where the mine starts, named Khazid Dok Loren (so called because of the watch tower at the end of the valley). They are lead by Marduk Hellhammer, who is a young Lord decended from a displaced Royal Clan of the Dragonback Mountains. The forces at Dok Loren comprise of Warriors, Longbeards, Rangers and Miners. For larger battles their ranks are swelled by Hammerers, Ironbreakers and Thunderers from Karak Norn. They are most likely to be fighting Goblins in the hills, Wood Elves in the forest edges and Skaven and brigands/bandits in Wissenland to the east.

I have included on a couple of bases with deposits of coal, however these don't necessarily have to be used. My main desire is a base with a high degree of realism. On one of the bases I have leaf litter that I think is something a little different from the usual bases that are seen. Please let me know your thoughts. (I am not doing snow!!)

Base 1: Standard green with static grass and lumps of coal

Base 2: Marshlike green with static grass and reeds

Base 3: Standard grey with static grass

Base 4: Grey Boulders

Base 5: Standard Brown with Grey rocks and static grass

Base 6: Standard brown with coal and static grass

Base 7: Standard brown with leaf litter (I used mixed herbs from the kitchen, so as a bonus my army would smell like Thyme, Sage and Marjoram. I also know where I can get small proper modelling miniature leaves that look really good)
