Ok, I'm in for this comp. This has been on my list of stuff to do for a while and have even started to collect stuff for it.
I'm going to make a Mini Display Base & Diorama for my Dwarven Miner Themed FrostGrave Warband.

This is all I have right now of them, I have another 7 minis still on the sprue - so i'll have 15 in total (so I can swap out henchman as and when)
I'm going to use a block of wood as the base (exact dimension escape me right now, but it's a little smaller than a bit of A4 Paper and about 1/2" thick) and make it look like the outside of a Mine entrance. Will have a Cart Track and maybe a frost covered Pine tree too along with suitable mining stuff (picks lanterns etc) Similar to this below.

I'll be adding about 15 or 16 square 'holes' in ground so that the figures can sit in snugly and hide the base they are on.
If I have any 'holes' that are not filled, I may make some spare ones so I can also use this as a backdrop for taking pics of minis (or just 'premake' the bases for the next 7 minis that i'll make
)

As I have said, this will just be a display base diorama so it do not need it to work on the gaming table.
I have made a few doodles on some paper on the layout - I have to decide on which one, so i'll post later.
Thoughts? C&Cs? Stuff?
