I finished up my new King of the Dead and Heralds:
I don't think the painting job is very noteworthy (albeit fine for tabletop). But I did do something which seemed worth sharing, in that they are floating above the base via little bits of support cut from paper clips. (I hope the elevation shows in the picture.)
I don't think it makes a great deal of difference with the Heralds, with their relatively static poses and flat bases.
But I really like what it does for the King in his more dynamic pose. I took the opportunity to rotate him forward slightly, which I think improves the pose from looking like he's got a back itch to looking like he's actually charging in.
