Looks like this failed miserably for non-Facebook subscribers or friends of this group. I'll speak to Leon.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Yeah think it would have to be public group to see them. I'm not sure Facebook let's you share them directly with outsiders!

An interesting approach, not a base shape I'd considered before

Agreed, it does provide a nice balance between the round and the square and still lets you line up. I quite like those.

I think I still want the neater line you get with square for this project's line troops but there's a few other projects I have in mind that those would work very nicely with. :-\


Thanks for sharing!

Yes I like them as well.  Definitely fed up of loadsa fiddly singles alone.
Did someone mention Pendraken are selling the pill shaped bases?  Whats the code?

You're welcome. Nothing like a photo to show how a basing system looks.  :)

Me, neither, Paul, until I started skirmish gaming which first got me considering circular bases followed by the pill shaped ones when I encountered the Close Order formation featured in Rebels & Patriots.

Currently, BCX.

Footnote: Incidentally, for those interested, the gun & crew bases illustrated are 15mm circular (for the single crew member), 25mm x 15mm pill (for the gun and 2 crew members) and 20mm x 15mm pill (for the fig with the ramrod). The infantry bases are mainly 20mm wide at their narrowest, as previously mentioned by me.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I've gone with cutting the magnetic tape into square(ish) bases 12.5cm with a 50x25 ferrous sheet sabot, so individual based figures but movable as group:



Then round bases for skirmish and hex for command:



Got most of the British based so onto the Americans next.
