I'm taking the liberty of posting this link to Alan Millicheap's AAR

because (a) he has very nice Pendraken armies on display and (b) it's an interesting and obscure battle (to me, anyway).

Good looking figures. 

A very different kind of game for BBB - almost feels a bit cramped / skirmish like, for the type of units that are being represented. I think sometimes it is the road (and the wagons) that look very 1:1 representative scale, which then compresses the visual representation of everything else - this is probably far more of a thing when looking at photos on the internet than when playing the game.

I see your point, though I wonder if that claustrophobic impression is also to do simply with the wagon train being surrounded?

Anyway, glad you like Alan's pics.
