ITLSU 1917 Ottoman Cavalry basing

[paulr]

Hi All,

I am not sure how to base up my Ottoman cavalry

The horses come in a galloping and standing pose and I am not sure if they work together on a base but I also like variety on bases

There are 5 Squadrons each of 3 stands with 2 figures per stand.

I have 11 galloping figures, 4 Officers (galloping) and 15 standing figures.

I have suggested three possible options above but am sure there are others

Here are some quick pictures that may help demonstrate the question

This post of Michael's also shows the three poses clearly in bare metal, http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,6719.msg68845.html#msg68845

Keep them separate.

Done.

For these I think I would stick with the same pose on a single base - which is different to what I thought for the infantry - so it does depend on the figures in question.

Whether you mix bases between units or not, I'm not sure it matters too much.

Keep them separate. It seems odd that two such very different poses are supplied in the same pack. Two different galloping or two different walking would have been better.

I would keep them separate.

The more mathematically astue of you will have realised that I can't completely avoid mixed bases
15 standing and 15 (11+4) galloping horses means at least one mixed base

Based on the feedback and votes so far I am looking at two galloping squadrons (6 figures each), two standing squadrons (6 figures each), and a half and half squadron.

This squadron will have one galloping and one standing base plus a base with an Officer (galloping) and a standing figure. This means half the squadron will be galloping and the other half standing.

Assuming your mind was thinking "Over 150 views" while your fingers were mischievously typing "Over 150 votes", I account for 12 of the views but only one of the votes. If others are in and out of the topic in similar fashion you may only be missing half a dozen votes!

[paulr]

Opps, I'm glad FK is away. Yes I did indeed mean 150 views

I was expecting some multiple views,  but obviously not enough

Ive just added another view and still haven't voted 

[Techno]

I'm sure that what happens with views, is that a lot of us keep returning when we see there is a new posting on the topic....So even if we don't post again, the number of views increases.  ...I must have popped back for a look-see at least half a dozen times..

I have also voted once but viewed four times now.

[Maenoferren]

Voted once been twice

My vote means nothing; I thought you meant the heyday of Ottoman spahis. Sorry.
