10mm basing Horse and Musket

[CATenWolde]

While I know it isn't common practice, I clip the edges of the bases and fit infantry on a 5mm per figure frontage.  It gives a great shoulder-to-shoulder look, and also gives a better contrast versus figures based in loose order (e.g. 20mm frontage, 4 figures close order, 2-3 in looser order).

I don't know if I have the patience to clip the bases. Romans I can just about get 6 on 40mm, and they look fine.  The Auxillery are only 6 frontage, and they look a little too open, but 6/40mm seems tight enough.

I picked up a pack of SYP1 (Prussian musketeers) to check out as SYW Hessians - I've been basing the unpainted figures with blu-tac tonight to try out base sizes.  I've tried 3x2 on 25mm square and that looks pretty good, though it could probably run to 3x2 on a 25x20mm rectangle as well.
