Re-basing

So in between painting ECW figures for Simon and in preparation of starting some Republican Romans, I decided to re-base some old figures in my collection. The idea being to use Basic Impetus as a starter set for some games at the club. However I have decided to go with a generic base size of 50mm x 40mm. The number of figures on a base is more representational. I've gone with 8 for heavy infantry, 6 for light/medium infantry and 2 or 3 for skirmishers. Mounted is 2 for lights and 3 for heavies. I picked up some bases from Pendraken and made a start. 

The first army that I re-based was a later hoplite Greek, think they were originally done for DBA and I painted them over 35 years ago. Nostalgia means they will not be re-painted. A few figures have been added since and I think I have enough unpainted for a couple more bases of hoplites.

The next force was some Helenistic Greeks. I can use the Peltasts and skirmisher from the Hoplites to bolster the numbers. I also have enough figures to add 3 more blocks of pike which will look better.

The last force is some Bactrian Greeks with Indian allies. These will need some more pike and archers added to complete the force.

Once I get some more sand I can make a start on finishing the bases. I may even pick up some grass tufts to add a little colour. Once the bases are all done I'll start on the Romans, but at least I can get a few games in to refresh myself with the rules.
