What's on your workbench?

Celts for I!I!

[Shahbahraz]

Should we be calling it

I squared? I have the issue that I had settled on 1p coins for my ancients basing, and have the glorious old school 'bronze age celts' sold by Nick at Northstar, except they are all adopting 'Power stance plus' with legs as akimbo as a bareback elephant rider, and won't fit on a 1p coin.

As far as I can see, I have limited options - including grinding the bases off, bending the legs slightly, and using wire drilled into holes in the coins. Any suggestions?

[Jeremy]

I did think about calling it I Squared as I was typing it!

As to your dilemma, I would revise my basing theory. Don’t mangle a figure for a basing ideal

[Shahbahraz]

Yeah, except all the other stuff is on 1p coins. Maybe I just accept they will overhang the base.

[World2dave]

Stick 'em as-is on very thin 25mm bases and add texture to tidy up.

[grizzlymc]

Use 2p coins for these?

That’s fine, some men take up more space than others. Practicality has always trumped how things look for me

That’s what I do with my cavalrymen, most galloping horses overhang a 30mm washer. There’s a small bit of ‘wibbly wobbly’ on textured sabot bases but not usually enough to notice.
