My infantry are mounted three to a base on 'cavalry' bases and skirmishers two to a 'cavalry' base. For a rabble of Celts or natives, I like to put six on a 'monster' base, which gives me enough room to jiggle them around, which adds to their chaotic look when the bases are together. For units of 'loose' skirmishers, I base two or three figures on a 'monster' base, which gives the impression they're in open order.<BR/><BR/>For my Cohorts, I use a unit of 24 figures and my warbands are about 48 figs. I use three 24 cohorts to make a Legion (any more in a 2000pt army and you leave no room for anything else). Cavlry units are 10 - 12 figures. The rules we use are Warhammer Ancient battles. We have all grown up with Warhammer and they are nice and simple...and fun. I hope this has answered your questions. I'm glad you like the blog.

They also do camel riders and moorish horse archers. They're very nice and the only company I know of, to do an African range.Secundushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03315796155081335530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24362308.post-34004849395309164902008-01-06T16:18:00.000+00:002008-01-06T16:18:00.000+00:00Great and inspiring work, as always!

Which manufacturer (and range) did the Sudanese come from?<BR/><BR/>I have always been tempted to find a way to backdate 19th century Beja Sudanese to ancient times, and there is almost enough in the way of hints in Enemies of Rome: The Desert Frontier to justify doing so ...<BR/><BR/>Ave!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
