I have 15mm Japanese army based up on FoG R and DBR
My club has inherited an old (30+years old) 25mm Dixon and Minifigs Japanese army. The club is looking to sell it, so I am looking to overhaul it and put it on the market. So the question is what is the best way to base up this army for selling, there are 300+ figures |

If they are individually based then I would suggest you leave them unbased to appeal to the broadest swath of gamers. Jim |

Square bases are in. I put 3 foot samurai or ashigaru per 50x50mm base, or 2 cavalry. |

Agree with ColCampbell, individually based is likely to sell easier. |

I sorta agree with the individual basing
But, the multipull handling of an army (of 300+) we be going to sell is a bit time consuming,
I find mounting on multi bases quicker and easier, |

@Mac1638: Sure, I'd probably do something with either multiple minis per base or at least a sabot if I was gaming with them. But for getting the models sold I'd leave them as-is. |

Lion in the Stars I kind of enjoy overhauling armies, I overhauled a number of my old 15mm armies rebasing, replacing dammaged wepons and tarting up the paint work and sold them on (I still have the same armies newer and different figures). I have had a look at my DBR and FoG R basing for 25/28mm, I think I'm going to use their basing sizes. Thanks you all for the advice. |

I guess there's also the not-yet-mentioned option of saying "basing at buyer's request" |
