I have just brought these out:

I am wondering what size bases you put your 6mm sci-fi/modern infantry on.

This may influence the size of the next thing I bring out.

I base my WW2 micro figures on one of the following options:

1 squad on a 40x20mm base, facing the wide edge.
(Standard "warmaster" base)

OR

2 halfsquads on a 20x20mm base each.
(Old "epic" bases)

OR

2 halfsquads on a 40x10mm base each.
(New "epic" bases)

In any case a squad would fit in a 40x20mm area. Weapon teams, support weapons etc are on 20x20mm bases as well.

For epic games I use a mix of the old and new bases, mostly new though.

Cheers.

I had the old epic bases in mind when I did the sandbags as they fit in the spaces ok.
The newer 40mm wide ones will fit nicely behind the barricades though as noted not inside the sand bag areas.

Michael,

as you know – mine are on 30 frontages (except Massive's) so will fit in the barricades :) order once payday :)

For infantry 40mm frontage usually for us please Michael.

Epic bases here, Michael, both new and old.

Jedispice20 Jun 2012 2:37 a.m. PST

Yeah I noticed the barricades would probably fit 40mm size bases, great for street fights!

Calico Bill20 Jun 2012 2:44 a.m. PST

Epic bases, old & new.

20x20mm or 25x25mm.

Those look good !!! thumbs up

My scifi armies are on 30x40mm for vehicles,etc and 40x30mm for infantry so to fit a 40mm wide base would be good, although i'm pretty flexible in what i'll use.

Mine are mostly on GZG 40 mm irregular shaped bases, so if you can accomodate those, it would be handy :)
