My Romans tend to use either the standard red or off-white tunics but green shows some nice imaginative thinking and they look very good ranked up like in the picture.Little Odohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554557447121289551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-32703790586804055132009-09-05T06:30:41.950-07:002009-09-05T06:30:41.950-07:00The basing depth does make a slight difference in ...The basing depth does make a slight difference in game play. Bases that are deeper get knocked back further and this can affect flanking bonuses. But really it doesn't matter that much. A standard basing (or one for foot and another for cavalry) works just fine.Bob Barnetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164225489620639641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-71397157757655763942009-09-05T01:31:52.544-07:002009-09-05T01:31:52.544-07:00They are a very tidy little legion!

I just hadn't noticed until you pointed out that all your foot are 40mm deep. I had been confused by the varying depths in the DBA rules, but now I see that these are really optional. I'm going with 30mm for 1/72 models. <br /><br />Beyond my interest in basing minutiae, these Romans look good. It's interesting to see something other than standard Foundry / Gripping Beast / Warlord minis. The sculpting style is quite different, but the historical accuracy is there.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08759810100407996847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-57433226854509898142009-09-04T17:03:21.833-07:002009-09-04T17:03:21.833-07:00Cheers!
