my warband plans

Very nice indeed, Bodvoc !
Great work.

Ok, so the 'itchings' of this plan are potentially back on track and I'm taking a second look at building a couple of armies for Warband now a few more of the ranges are being padded out.

I'm going to be playing largely solo and originally I had planned to go 80x40 bases to fit with my medievals based for FoG as the basis of a Dragonmen Army....

I'm now thinking 60x30 and starting with a Goblin and Undead army just to get the ball rolling.

Are there many players using 60x30 and how have you found this affects the game?

I'm rebasing my 60x30mm to 100x50mm, just because I want to, but I can't see 60 being a problem as all measurements are base widths anyway.

The only effect on the game will be that you'll need a smaller table area to play on.   

The rules are designed so that you can use whatever basing you have.  100x50mm gives you the best option for modelling a great looking unit, but any size that suits you will work fine.

All 4 of my Warband armies are on 6x3cm bases as I started with Dragonmen, using my Normans which are based for Imptus. It has no effect on actually playing the game, you just need a smaller table.

Good to see the bug hit you again.

I've gone with 60x30 since my current table is only 4x3.

It's wonderful, compact, offers a nice look.  Not as scenic as 100x50, or even 80x40, but I'm happy with it.

HOWEVER, that being said, I am worried about when I have to base mammoths and chariots.  The Giant isn't so bad, but the longer models might cause a problem.  Overlap or 60x40, I'll have to decide.

Good to hear that you like the 6x3cm bases. For my mammoth and chariots I go 6x4cm as they need the depth.

Could you model them so they look like the chariots are turning?  Or maybe have the mammoths rearing?
