I haven't been 100% happy with the look my large warband units so decided to change the basing slightly. Rather than 2x 6cm deep bases the rear rank is now going to be 4cm deep and have 4 figures on them. I toyed with the idea of only 3 figures so they could do double duty as extra skirmisher stands but the rear rank looked a bit sparse for a large warband, so last night I painted up 4 stands to test this idea out (which I borrowed from the Imptvs forums and the Of Metal and Men blog) and I'm quite happy with the results.
The new rear unit stands- each is 8cm x 4cm.
Command A: Fair Commander
2x FL Elite Warriors large (Gen)
2x CGL Chariots
2x FL Warriors
2 x S Young Warriors (Javelins)
Command B: Fair Commander
2x FL Elite Warriors large (Gen)
2x FL Warriors
2x S Archers (shortbow B)
Command C: (Fair Commander)
4x Medium Cavalry
Only the front rank in the large warband are elite, the back rank are regular warband.
It should be fun, I think Kent is adding some Gallic allies to his list (and hopefully another elephant).

I think having the thiner base for the rear rank is a great idea. Looks great to be honest.
ReplyDeleteLooking great Craig the rear unit looks perfect can't wait to rip them apart or is that be ripped apart by them
ReplyDeleteThanks Kent, I'm really looking forward to the rematch. I have a couple more stands of infantry to do tonight.
