Work on the Saxons continues. This time some of the Musketeer Duguth. Lovely figures, their only issues being the open hands which are a pain to glue spears to- I decided to use a 5 minute epoxy rather than superglue and although ti gives a much stronger bond it is also a lot fiddlier to work with. It was worth it in the end though as the bond is much stronger, so hopefully they last longer.
I need to add to more units of these guys are the ordinary warriors/shieldwall.

ReplyDeleteLooking realy good !!!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me a little more about the base sizes you use? 80mm front? 40mm or 50mm depth?
Best regards Michael
Hi Michael
DeleteWe adopted the basing conventions you used for DBA several years ago :)
8cm widths, 5cm depth for close order troops, 6cm deep for lighter infantry/warband types
4 cm for skirmishers
We typically put 6 figures on a base: 4 in the front rank, 2 in the rear but sometimes go for 7-8 figures instead.
