Do you mean 25mm wide bases (silly) or the base size you'd use for 25mm figures(epic)?
Standard DbN base frontage is 40mm and for the smaller scales it looks fine (but not epic).

Oops.....'there is' not 'theirs'. Disgraceful.

Frontages what you would use for 25mm figures.

Yes, Simon's 40mm bases look very splendid.

I would say at least 80mm maybe 100mm frontage for 25/28mm fig's with 100paces = 50mm (as 100paces = 25mm with a 40mm frontage) I hope that not too complicated for a Sunday evening

Cheers. Bigger bases or smaller figures would indeed look more epic but I thought the 40mm size with 10mm figs just managed to hit a sweet spot between ease of volume and looking “about right”. The bigger bases were appealing but I’m planning on at least doubling the size of my forces and would rather be able to play bigger battles.

I came to the same conclusion, hence I sold off the figures I had on bigger bases. With 15mm or bigger figures larger bases would look great, but 10mm or 6mm look fine on the standard bases and you can use all the measurements 'as is' from the rules.

For what its worth. If anyone fancies a DBN game, big or small, in the second half of March then I'm up for it, either at mine or yours. After March I'm back to being a hotelier.......most of the time.

A lovely idea, thank you, but utterly impossible I'm afraid.

i assume you just mean for you Iain ?

I might be able to do a day trip - but March is a touch congested for me

No, Debbie can't make it either.

Cracking looking game Goatkins, well done. As for a game in March, yes I'm free that day because I'm retired.
