Napoleonic Austrians for Lasalle

[Ferb]

Hi all,

I've just got Lasalle & I'm planning to start with Austrians using Pendraken 10mm figures. I intend to use 40mm wide bases & was wondering how many figures on a base people would recommend so I can order the right amount of figures.

Thanks,
Ferb

I would use the same basing convention as for 15mm outlined in the rules.

Works for me, although i will be using FoG rules whn they get relased next month

40mm x 20mm with 8 figures looks about right for infantry, well it looks ok with my Austrians.

Cool 8 figures to a base it is :-)

Thanks for the replies.

Yep. we use 6 per base for standard line and 8 for grenadiers or guards and you could fit 10 per for the Grenadiers or Guards. It all looks very very cool. We use 2 arty + crew on 40x40 and that is way cool looking 

[Ferb]

Thanks for the arty tip I'll have to give that a try and see how it looks

Just some visual reference from my own 10mm Lasalle project.  Here are 2 4-base units of French Line using Pendraken figs on 1" (25mm) x 3/4" bases in 2 ranks of 4 figures.  So, 32 figs per unit.  The gun is mounted on a 1 1/4" square.



And here is a 6-base unit of Austrian line using a mix of Pendraken and Old Glory, again in 2 ranks of 4, or 48 figs in the unit.



If you were using a 40mmx40mm base for infantry, I'd be tempted to use 3 ranks of 6 figs for Austrians.

40 mm x 20 mm with 8 figs for line inf. or grenadiers, 5 figs for light infantry, 40 mm x 40 mm for artillery with 2 guns + crew, 40 mm x 30 mm for cavalry with 5 figures per base

Thanks for the pics, some great inspiration for me to get mine done. All I need now is for my figures to arrive.

These are nice, you should pop them into the Painting Comp!

Is the French artillery from the pendraken line or Old Glory?

Thought Id just add a plus for the 40mm x 20mm with 8 figures, I do mine 20mm x 20mm with 4 for infantry so its nearly the same thing  and great pictures guys, itching to get home and paint now.
