Roman legion - models per base

[Brotherdargon]

How many models do You put on a base for a Roman Legion Infantry? Base size - 40mm x 20 mm (warmaster standard)?

[fred.]

With single based infantry figures like Pendraken - normally about 8 per base for close order troops.

For skirmishers and light troops I tend to go with 4 or 5.

[fred.]

Probably later Legionaries than you have in mind - but giving a couple of different angles - looks like I got 10 on a base here!

Mine are 8-10, depending on how the sculpt.

This is good news for me as the order I've just got was planned around 8 heavy infantry on a 40 x 20 base

I tend to go with what looks right for the period is how many figures to put on a base. Exact numbers per base is a very 70s/80s wargames concept.

I want to make a small gift for my friend, 1 legion with a mounted commander. Now I have the quantities necessary
Thanks

So, 5501 figures then?

[Leman]

  ........and some gamer, somewhere will have that!

And Auxiliaries, and onagers, and balistas... And Ben Hur chariot

Cavalry alae, one 800-man 1st Cohort and nine 480-man Cohorts (Coh 2 - 10).

Doesn't everyone have that?

No? Oh good, not just me then

  3 months later, having moved and initiated combat, we moved on to turn two.

Amazing! Top display. Thank you for making me feel hopelessly inadequate!
