I'll never say never, but I've got it down to a pretty standard system now - round washers for troops I'll use in skirmish games. 60x40mm MDF for foot figures and 60mmx60mm for mounted figures I use in games requiring multi-figure bases (which is mostly DBA/HotT or rules by Neil Thomas). (Though lately I have considered rebasing some of the figures I had for DBA style games onto single bases to use with more skirmish games - like those of Dan Mercy or SoBH, etc...)timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-90994066529307058012017-07-19T02:50:23.765-07:002017-07-19T02:50:23.765-07:00Wonderful figures Tim, well done, love this motiva...Wonderful figures Tim, well done, love this motivated preacherman, I can almost hear him from France...Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-70095726772661675122017-07-19T00:45:54.771-07:002017-07-19T00:45:54.771-07:00Nice bunch of ECW types, I'm basing my English...Nice bunch of ECW types, I'm basing my English ECW army on pennies and then sabot basing them.

It's strange because it's a 3 part figure - the horse and the lower half of the torso and legs of the preacher are one piece, this upper torso, head and arms are one piece (with big book tucked under his left arm) the right-hand is a separate piece, though... it comes with a hand holding a book - so that the figure would be in much the same pose as the dismounted version... but I have LOADS of left over right hands with swords or pistols from a number different Old Glory sets (and I'm sure other appropriate hands in my bits box). I am torn as to whether I should just put the book in his hand - or a SWORD! (or possibly even a pistol!)<br /><br />Of course if I do THAT I should probably model on a sword belt or holsters for pistols... <br /><br />There are rules for adding priests and rabble-rousers to units, but I haven't tried it out. Only a point and gives the unit a +1 to all morale tests... but any enemy that slays the special character gets a bonus victory point... so I'm not sure it's worth it. <br /><br />(Pffft! when have I ever cared if something was "worth it" - it sounds like fun and gives me and excuse to do some stern preachifying and orate some stirring speeches! So I will surely use him in my next game!) timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-19451381653195052312017-07-17T16:08:51.770-07:002017-07-17T16:08:51.770-07:00Your ECW project is shaping up nicely!
