I went back to one of mine ancient passion, i.e. the TYW. I started to draw the pikemen for the Swedish Yellow Brigade for my usual ratio 1:1. I got immediatly a problem:

How to pose the figures of a "squadron" of pikemen?.
In order to use them both at rest and in fight.
Considering they were 6 ranks deep I thought this array:

this array is fitting for defending from cavalry attacks, but do you agree to represent in this way?
and what about this pose?:

I always choose the 45 degree angle as a compromise for my miniatures with some upright behind them. The pike down version makes gaming very awkward.

Thanks. The pike down would be for charges between infantry blocks. The 45° degress is the first right or the middle one?

Sorry for being vague. it is the figure just to the right of the three figures with upright pikes in your first illustration. I very much like the look of your pikemen and may copy it for the squadron of the yellow Brigade I am presently painting.
