Awesome. I really look forward to following this project. I’ve got plans for 6mm Crusades, and I like how much thought you’re putting into basing and stuff. I do both sides, too, so I similarly like the freedom that provides...although double the work...
I've decided to go with 10mm for ancients using either Impetus or Age of Hannibal. Definitely a period with a lot of choice in terms of both rules and miniatures. Looking forward to your progress.
This all sounds very interesting. If it had been me, I’d have gone for each individual stand as being 20mm wide instead of 25. This would mean you wouldn’t have to clip out an individual to glue onto the end of each line. It also slightly reduces your unit footprint, allowing for multi legion per side battles!
I'd second that...20mm frontage X 5 gives a nice 100mm frontage. It will still looked mass with 3 deep ranks but with a lesser footprint and costs less on figures
I’m actually using a combination of Hail Caesar and and another game for a 6mm scale Chinese Warring States project. What sized bases are you using for the cav. Is that 25mmx30mm I see for them?
Looks good! I am looking forward to building a historical army at some point! I have a 6mm WW2 army, a 10mm WW1 army, and two 6mm fantasy armies to get through first though hah
