I have based all my bods on single bases made using
discs cut out of Ikea place matts. This was mainly because I wanted to be able to mix and match them as I wanted and I didn´t intend to have so many for wargaming, just a few for skirmish type fights.
The numbers have grown though and as I´ve recently started making a Burgundian army for Impetus rules I thought I should base all the others for the same rules..but this would have meant rebasing a couple of hundred bods and nags so I came up with this;

To create a defensive position , square or whatever, the position of the bods can be altered :-D |
