My optimal base markings include a "front" (for facing), and a "down" and "dazed" (since the way a figure lies flat often doesn't match it's facing). Green, yellow and red lines would be sufficient for minimalists, although the options are limitless.

Of course, I'm often too lazy to fully base my figures, and I started using the down/dazed counters anyway. But I think about these things a lot. (Like, do you zip then fasten, or fasten then zip?

)

I just based my Pharaoh team on the hex bases mentioned in my earlier post. I think they look really good (still not even undercoated, and my photo taking skills are v. poor, so you'll just have to take my word for it

).

They all had obvious directions to face except Sobek 2 and Thoth; I just picked one for the croc, and I twisted the Thoth beak slightly to give a more definite facing.

I'll be doing my dwarf team this way, and then any others I end up with!

Oh, should mention that the base weights with magnets fit in them just fine. I'll probably put felt on the bottom (as usual) - the circle/hex shape difference is small enough for me to live with (the felt circle doesn't stick out beyond the edges of the base)
