I'm getting near to photographing my Spartan army; all the generals and some of the supporting troops are now up. I hope to post the Spartan and Allied Hoplites tomorrow.

I always ask myself if you use the standard base sizes of DBx? Your bases look deeper …

Thanks guys.

Hi Decebalus, I generally use DBx base sizes except that I always increase cavalry depths to 60mm, and some infanty depths to 30mm, where the figures are somewhat on the large side.

With Light infantry, I often base them 3 to a 60x60; it looks more irregular than the standard basing.

Cheers, Simon

Nice color for the Spartans and love the glossy shields.
