I just assembled a box of these. They are rather difficult to get to fit 3 per 60mm x 50mm base. It can be done but it isn't easy. Their right arms and weapons are a bit too much "all over the place". I will not buy another box of these. |

This is typical of just about every 28mm mounted figure. I used 25mm x 50mm bases with Fireforge and some others. The figures just fit next to each other If you're basing for dba, you won't be able to get 4 foot figures on a base very easily either. The 60mm base width worked for old 25mm (measured foot to top of head) figures |

Yes, they end up being so close to each other that they would impede their ability to fight. This set in particular was aggravating and I had to actually put them on the bases to see if they would fit before I decided to go ahead & paint them. I came real close to trashing them. |

A friend of mine has put together a collection of over 100 of these cavalry, with most being converted, and has had no problems, however he does base them as 2 figures on a 50mm x 50mm base. His work has been featured on the Gripping Beast website and Facebook pages (he is known as Swordmaster). |

I found the Footsore ones fit pretty well om a 60mm x 40mm. Tight but it worked |

Use deeper bases (still compatible with DBx). On 6cm wide and 8cm deep, your riders will fit. |

I have always altered my bases somewhat to accommodate the figures I prefer -- dam with the rules!! Russ Dunaway |

I may just go with 60mm x 60mm bases for them. |

I ended up using 60 x 60 bases, after breaking off a few right arms and substituting some with smaller reach and different orientation. |
