Old school DbX doesn't go with WAB successors, the more inspirational bloggers online have gone full on diorama, ther is BIg base DBA etc etc. 28mm is pretty fragmented considering the range of games played so either pick your cul de sac or embrace the madness of scaling up from the atoms of individually based And come up with very involved sabot schemes.

Also, aside from the DbX branch of the tree, there are lots of games that are based around things like multiples of 20mm and 25mm so anything built with an eye to sabot basing become quite challenging within the 6cm straight jacket. Eg. Two 25mm based horse saboted on a 6cm base? I know Ancients is nothing if not balkanised though. I'll probably look to work on something 15mm as that IS pretty much standardised 😀Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-4239224726355360922017-02-07T23:09:47.986+13:002017-02-07T23:09:47.986+13:00Hi Jamie, yes 6cm or 8cm for 28mm is suggested.

I don't know anyone who has actually done the 8cm though, as that would make your army incompatible with all the existing armies which are already on 6cm bases. I did my new Macedonian army on 6cm bases for this reason, plus they fit ok, see here: http://hordesofthings.blogspot.co.nz/2016/10/dbx-ancient-macedonian-army.htmlChasseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-61741741614503739262017-02-07T22:57:56.099+13:002017-02-07T22:57:56.099+13:00I understand 8cm wide is also a suggested base siz...I understand 8cm wide is also a suggested base size for 28mm in the rule book, that right? <br /><br />I've been looking at getting these rules so this is a useful summary. <br />Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-62531872301190597362017-02-07T22:51:36.114+13:002017-02-07T22:51:36.114+13:00Indeed, cheers Brian :)Indeed, cheers Brian :)Chasseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919997382932080898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-79335913029397800332017-02-07T19:19:49.316+13:002017-02-07T19:19:49.316+13:00I am looking forward to running my Scots against y...I am looking forward to running my Scots against your Indians some time soon...<br />Brianwarlordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313598048848346962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420422490270686484.post-26248027750755005912017-02-07T12:34:49.048+13:002017-02-07T12:34:49.048+13:00Cheers Dave, yeah easier and quicker than DBM.
