Warhammer ancient books

[Smiley Miley 66]

Their Cowboy ones are good. Some of the books go for Silly prices nowadays, 50-60-70 plus in some cases depending on the condition.

How would you base your figures to allow you to use RFCM and Warhammer Ancients?

I do not know what the warhammer basing system is Paul.
Educate me.

Looks to be for 28mm - Cavalry/Mtd troops 20/25mm wide, Light inf and skirmishes on 20/25mm wide, Close order infantry on 15-20mm wide and artillery as required...all mounted in singles.

So you could get away with downscaling the bases from 20mm to 15mm and base all infantry in the same way... probably on stands of four to 30mm x 30mm base. Similar to our close order infantry bases.

Because CK troops die by the half base a unit will die in 6 increments.
Therefore, how about using units of 6   25mm figures.
6 figure units  would look small but OK?

This will obviously apply to WAM too.
A WAM army would need about 14 units.  14x6= 84 fgures  +monsters, magicians and others stuff.
Would owners of  Warhammer armies usually have that number of figures??

28mm units are normally 20 figures each, so they should have that amount of figures.

I'd go for units of 16-20 figures, with four figures per base.  You could still do half base casualties and it looks like a unit.

Close order and Light/Support troops mounted the same with some sort of identification for the other player i.e. more flora or rocks etc.
