I already have some single bases.<br /><br />I am using a teddy bear fur mat for my English civil war figures and single mounted figures on 20mm or smaller bases do not stand up well on it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-22370352763893638922016-02-17T20:13:06.604+01:002016-02-17T20:13:06.604+01:00I like the idea a lot.

I find your site inspirational because of the quality of your work, the uniqueness of some of your projects and some of the time periods you include are ones for which I'm painting too. You have also whetted my appetite for the Pikeman's Lament rules.

I don't like the look of squar bases for My skirmish minis and as there are no real formation as line or column I don't see any reason to Base on squars. Even if it would be i probably wold use round bases as i think it gives me a more combat look an not the paradeground look of squar based minis. So in Short mainly for the estetical look of them:)Dalaupprorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292614404943521842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-78905547775670492552015-11-23T10:35:56.888+01:002015-11-23T10:35:56.888+01:00Thanks!

I have used this system for 20mm WW2 skirmish figures, starting with 3 groups of 3 to a base figures for an entire section and then making change as casualties occur. Oddly however I had never thought of it for Dark Ages or fantasy skirmish games - a good idea.<br />The only difference between us is that I paint the figures and then base them. :)Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-58044260890798476232015-11-21T22:50:47.881+01:002015-11-21T22:50:47.881+01:00Feels good to be genius some time, thanks Michael!...Feels good to be genius some time, thanks Michael!<br /><br />:)Dalaupprorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292614404943521842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210932511057502147.post-81169946343206609462015-11-21T22:47:58.032+01:002015-11-21T22:47:58.032+01:00Haha...
