Nice looking troops, like they way you have kept to a limited palette, does make them look part of a whole.

I'd always like to see more troops in a unit though!

I was tempted to use the 25mm figure bases, 60mm wide :-\
but that would have meant well over a thousand figures for the project :o

I think the long wait would be worth it. I generally DBA (2.2+) with 10mm 0n 60mm frontage, however I also usually only do two armies at a time.
