Yes, some of them are huge. Some are smaller and some are actually 15mm. What can you do?

Your Russians look very nice Phil, 6 to a base too. I like that. Mine are 4 to a base and I haven't the heart to start another round of re-basing.

Thanks OB,.

Rebased all my armies to 6 to a base (and 5 to a base for Second rate and militia), back in 2021. It took me a year of doing some every day, along with painting more troops as well!

Yeah, 6 to a base looks best to me too. I think I'm going to have to emulate what you did. French, Spanish and Russian armies. Not this year though.

That's an impressive and high quality output there.
I went with six to a base back in the first edition days but stuck with single rank for cavalry.

45-50 figures per day! That is a lot of figures painted in a VERY short time. I've done over 400 figures in a month but they weren't well uniformed.

What is your general process - and I'm assuming the figures were already prepped and primed and dry and ready for paint when you started?
