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. |
