40mm was too wide I found so 60mm fitted the bill. Roughly 4 infantry blocks per rank except Pikemen
then it's 6 wide x 2 deep.
Not really the cheap option associated with 2mm. Maybe by the time your holiday is over I'll have managed
some photos too.

Sounds cool. I guess it's all very dependant on budget and period you're modelling. I'm skint and doing Age of Arthur, so for me two blocks is roughly 1:1 for the rules ;D

Look forward to seeing any photos you might post  :!!  ;)

Just put my order in for Colours, so hopefully I'll be okay ;)

I've not tried them in anger yet, but the ones I've got in progress aren't too bad to handle. I've got quite small hands though ;)

Here's what they look like so far:

Looking good and certainly give the impression of a war band.

Now I have plenty of bases, but have run out of figures...  :'(

Here's what I've got so far.  (Apologies for the poor photo: took it in haste!)



Time to actually sit down with the army lists and work out what I "need" before sending for reinforcements I think  :-\

...oh, and painting them   :-[

I know! When I ordered them I thought I had more than enough for four warbands; now I've doubled the number of strips per base I'm not sure I've got enough for two...  :-/
