It's not my thing, but have you looked at what the chaps have been doing with the Warband stuff?

To me it's a bit like synchronised swimming ... I have no idea what's going on but it's very impressive. And cheap. You must be talking over a quid per figure for a Perry's 28mm (which are very nice). You could get six or seven times as much from the Pendraken Warband range.

Go on it makes sense!

You wouldn't have to think about basing problems.

It was stenicplus that made the batreps with bigger scale models.I'll link you to his blog:

And in this post he talks a bit about how the base size works for them:

Look at the first entry on the FAQ

Basically 8-10 figures per base pretty much the same as GW War of the Ring

Id sell the 28mm on Ebay or Bartertown and buy several 10mm armies.  The Pendraken armies are cheaper, and easier to paint & store then 28mm.  I was a long time player of that other game WarHamster, but got tired of constant price increases, rules changes, power creeps, etc.  Why is it called Warhammer 40K? Because you have to make over 40K to afford to play it.  ;)

Steve (stenicplus) is running the Berkeley Hordes of the Things competition this weekend which is probably why he hasn't responded to the 28mm questions.

I've been tempted to reuse some old GW figs in a Warband army but 10mm armies are quicker to build.

Cheers, Andy

Great replies guys. Hooks firmly embedded into the skin. Lol

The figs i have are LotR range from gw. I really like them but have used them once or twice in 2 years. I really would like to play lotr but skirmish rules get boring after a while and i dont have enough energy or a dumper truck to roll the amount of dice needed for wotr lol. Hmmmm...

Decisions decisions lol

10 28mm figures will fit nicely onto a 10x5cm base.  Its actually pretty close to Mantic's small units in their Kings of War rules.  If you have about 80-100 figures per side, you're good to go.  :)
