I'd say 6mm for pikey blocks.

Good luck with the additions! I prefer big bases for my ECW Foote with command on a separate circular base.

I know another ECW gamer who does that (Timmo - Tim Elcock) and it allows him to re-purpose units for a different army simply by swapping out the command base with the all-important ensigns.

I'm not going to miss an opportunity to post a picture of my one and only mid 17thC unit.......even if I have posted it before (I think).

I like three bases, and a clear space between the pikes and the muskets.

I know it's 20mm, rather than 15mm, but.....looking at some of those faces, I can't help wonder if the guy who sculpts the figures for Peter Pig started off at Irregular?

Definitely on the spiffing side of spiffing, EB.

Ta muchly, Baron.

Ah yes, Peter Pig faces are a bit like Marmite.......I'm of the 'love it/them' church.

Please don't judge these Tumbling Dice and Kennington faces based on my painting. I deliberately give my toys a grumpy look. It amuses me.

Martin Goddard sculpts all the Peter Pig range as well as owning the company. Never worked for Irregular.
I find faces to be the distinctive feature of a sculpter, slowly disappearing as 3D designed figures become more common.
Most are easily recognisable.

I get the PP resemblance too, probably their overall 'heft'. Very nicely painted figures EB
