I've seen the 30mm conversion. I'm about to remount some Riders of
Rohan on to Warrior standard bases which means cutting them so they
can attach to sheet styrene. I really hate those round bases that GW
provides.

Funny you should ask.

You have all the same basing options that you do in Warrior, *including*
30mm. 30mm is what allows a player with figs based for Warhammer (either the
historical version or the fantasy version) to play Fantasy Warrior - something
we
already do here.

I have based my Warg riders on warhammer 25x50s vice the round bases, so that
they can be easily placed on my metal 30mm warrior bases for exactly that
reason. 3x 25 across warhammer bases fit on a Warrior 30mm 80mmx50mm-60mm
cavalry base just fine...


I've only played historical wargames, but I'm really looking forward
to putting Tolkein on the board with Warrior.
Would you like to playtest the game and the Horse Lords list?

Wes,
Are you using the official GW figures? I was up at my local hobby store
recently and saw the price tag on a single foot figure and I almost had a
heart-attack at the price ($8.99 US)- - -> Yuck! GW really is the Evil Empire
and as long as people continue to pay their prices they will continue to stick
it too the customer.

Five of the Games Workshop cavalry bases happen to be almost exactly 120mm.

So if you have cavalry based for WAB or WHFB, its easy to represent
two elements in line by using five figures.

The extra depth ought be be accomodatable in friendly games.

WH/WAB cav bases are 25mm across the short end. Three fit inside a Warrior
30mm cav base which is 80mm front by 50-60 depth. Warrior 30mm is in the files
section.

No, if you measure carefully you will discover they are actually only
24mm, and an inch is 25.4mm. So five of them x 24 = 120 exactly. If
they were an inch, you would have a significant 7mm of overhang
instead of exactly matching the width of two x 60mm bases.

A. I don't know about anyone else, but 1mm will never matter to me...lol
.... in anything.

B. 24mm or 25mm you can't get 3 of them onto a 60mm base, so we stongly
recommend WAB/WH figs are used to play in 30mm, not 25mm. Especially since they
are not 25mm figures. It is the *whole* reason we went to the trouble of
writing Warrior 30mm in the first place. And in any case, as a modeler, I would
personally dislike using figures made for one scale in another...

But that's just me.

I hate to admit it but, yes. They are beautiful figures. I only
have a few and I plan on mainly using the plastic packs. I agree
that GW is an evil empire, and there is no way I'll play their rules
(about the time I learn them a new edition will come out that
requires $500 of new figures). I've never been a big fantasy player,
but I think LOTR perfect Warrior. I really don't like Magic in the
LOTR is mainly about being able to influencing morale.

The boxed plastic sets are fairly affordable and I do plan mounting
them individually on sheet styrene and then mounting them on 60mm
Warrior bases. I've only based 1 element of Moria goblins done this
way and they look fantastic.

Especially in Fantasy, I'm gonna use everything with a good paint
job. 15mm are Hobbits. If I had 20's they might be Dwarves.

Putting two Essex or GW cav on a base that notionally has 3 isn't
necessarily a problem, especially if the whole army is done that way
(and therefore uses only 1 fig/base for the Light Cav elements).

My Essex 25mm Samurai cav aren't going to be squished three to a
base--the paint jobs are too nice ( & valuable).
