I got my self in to some re-basing of my old generic dark age barbarians, I use them as Saxons, Franks, Goths etc.
I have had them based 6 minis on a 80x60 base but I thought it was to disperse...and I also wanted to be able to play some skirmish games with the minis...
So inspired by the Too Fat Lardies Dark Ages minis for Dux Britanniarum on 1p bases I decided to go for 20mm bases...

If it turns out well I probably will re-base my SAGA minis to...

But I still want to be able to play with them in nice units, especially now then Dux Bellorum (http://merseybooks.blogspot.se/search/label/Dux%20Bellorum) and Dux Britanniarum (http://toofatlardies.co.uk/blog/) soon are released...
So I ordered some customised movement trays from Martin and Diane at Warbases (http://www.warbases.co.uk/), can´t be recommended enough, they always give fast and exellent service.
The Infantry trays are 80x50mm and can hold 7 minis on 20mm bases. I designed the holes in a quite "unregular" pattern to give some more animation to the units.

The Cavalry trays are 80x80mm and can hold 5 minis on 40mm oval bases.
Some pictures of a few re-based minis and their new unit movement tray and my first Dux Bellorum/Britannium unit ??? can you find at my blog. Dalauppror (http://www.dalauppror.blogspot.se/)

Do you have any pics of the Cavalry bases?
-
I've also opted for that option... to have the miniatures based individually and then to have a movement tray for the miniatures to be used on a more geometrical game
I've also ordered my bases from Martin from warbases, and service was great!
keep posting the your work, it's looking good!

The cavalry bases are the oval one in the 3rd picture, only picture at the moment, havent based any cavalry minis yet, put up some more pictures as son as it´s done.
best regards Michael

As you know I have been working on some re-basing of my 28mm "generic" Germanic Barbarians lately...
It all have turned out in to my first 32 point Dux Bellorum army... a Saxon Warband according to the starter armys at Dan Merseys blog. (http://merseybooks.blogspot.se/2011/12/dux-bellorum-arthurian-starter-armies.html)
Saxons
1 Foot Companions with Leader @ 5 points
3 Noble Warriors @ 5 points each
4 Ordinary Warriors @ 3 points each
...It seems like there also have sneaked in some skirmishers in the pictures...bringing the army up to 33 points... 1 Foot Skirmisher (Sling/Javelin) @ 1 point each.
more pictures at my blog (http://dalauppror.blogspot.se/2012/07/dux-bellorum-army.html)
