Of Gods and Mortals 'Nickstarter' has begun

Not really, either round or square bases and I wouldn't think size is too much of an issue. Although I personally wouldn't go any bigger than 30mm bases for mortals, 25mm preferably.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of basing mortal on square 20mm bases to fit the (few) historical ancients figures I have here… somewhere in a cardboard box…

I was also thinking of basing legends, or at least the smaller ones, on 25mm round bases.

So it looks like I can start painting now… thanks again!

No probs. It suggests basing Open Order (OO) mortals on round bases and Close Order (CO) on square, but the reality is that the close order simply have to rank up and the open order do not so base shape isn't really an issue.

It's also why I like the idea of 15mm or smaller on similar sized bases as you can probably depict CO and OO much better in this way.

That said, I am going the 28mm route because I have some Romano Brits and some Vikings already to hand to do battle! Just need to find some Gods!

That’s funny, the few "ancient" figures I own are also Vikings and Romano-British… although I have a handful of plastic classical hoplites coming my way soon

That really is funny . . . . . . I just received my classical greek hoplites!
