Great figure painting for 10mm. Are these Pendraken? |
| Mike Petro | 15 Mar 2019 11:05 a.m. PST |
Yes. Painted by Reinforcements by Post. I did the cavalry. |

The cavalry are on 30mm squares, just no pics yet. When I finish basing I will put up the full French and Spanish pics. Problem is I can't make a decision on basing. Pros and cons to every scheme I can think of. |

Some of my 10mm collections are individually based on 10mm squares for infantry and 20x10 for mounted. I magnetize the base and then use different sized sabots for different rules. |
| Mike Petro | 15 Mar 2019 2:16 p.m. PST |
That is an option, sabots. |

I like the "double rank tight", and might even prefer "double rank REALLY tight".  My opinion is that horse & musket soldiers should stand shoulder-to-shoulder like they would in real life, unless they're skirmishers, or being based for a figure-ratio game (e.g. 1:20 or 1:60) where the per-figure frontage matters. I've never been a fan of Napoleonic (or other linear warfare) troops standing in loose, open formations. - Ix |

YA, agreed. I think it comes down to an economy of figures is why. I have 36 man battalions, so it will be quite a bit of wastage. Thanks for the input tho, YA. |

I think the real benefit of 10mm is the footprint reduction of the unit. This is where your concentration should focus. I think then the figures window dress this soloution. If you are finishing with a comparative base scale as 15mm a trick has been missed |

An example of the basing soloution I went for |

YD, Please tell me you didn't paint those flags by hand! DB |

They are Napflags scaled down printed and then painted to take away the printed look. |
| Mike Petro | 16 Mar 2019 4:44 a.m. PST |
YD, your troops look awesome! How did you base them, is that grit? What rules do you use? |
| YoungDave | 16 Mar 2019 6:29 a.m. PST |
Thank you that's very kind

I like the depth, heft and flexibility of the old Napoleon's Battles standard of 2x2 for foot and horse. +1 YoungDave. I have seen 10mm Napoleonics based 2x figures wide on a 16mm wide base. By shrinking your base size your 42x36 inch table becomes a 60x48 inch table. |

Thanks ferg981 double rank tight seems to be the concensus. |
