Don’t worry, I’ll look after all of your collections...

Blimey! Where are you getting them from? I have some Stadden Napoleonic 25s....gorgeous, but very slim figures. I'd definitely go with 18mm as a max.

Also Surens Willy figures.

Yes. Spencer Smiths also carry them but obviously you’d wait 34 years for them to arrive. I’d love to do a featherstonesque project in awi with them to.
All for the future

A splendid intention - I hope it works out. Failing that, will Foundry fit a 20mm base?

No you need a 19mm base for foundry EB.

Special offers on Crusader miniatures ancients at the minute. £35 for 12 cavalry. Might be time to get my Roman horse.

Painting started with some Hastati. The question is - if I am going for 4 "legions" with one unit of each (velites, hastati, principes, triarii) should I go for a basic unit size of 12 or 16? I had originally planned for 24 which is why it never got started, I need to be sensible this time.

[goat major]

I’m going to do units divisible by 6 and then they can work for various Rampant games as well

[Zenbadger]

Good point, 12 initial with an option on expansion to 18 after the second legion.

12 seems quite small, 18 sounds good

[Zenbadger]

Yes but there will be 16 units plus allies and cavalry so I can get a nice checkerboard formation.
