| Foundry 28mm Renaissance Italian Wars Pike |
The figures are mounted on two bases, each measuring 3 inches by 2 inches. This is not the traditional Field of Battle 2 ("FOB2") basing. FOB2 recommends 4 equal sized bases to reflect the 4 Unit Integrity hits each unit can take before routing.
Also, four bases allows easy representation of line, column, assault column and square. However, all formations can be represented by two bases. Play can be speeded up by having fewer bases so I have decided to go with only 2 bases for each unit. The frontage is the same.

The bases are metal and can be stuck to a storage box lined with sheet magnets. The rocks were made using Woodland scenics medium ballast attached with watered down white glue. The bases were then painted brown with Craft Smart Brown (in the 8 oz bottle). The rocks are then dry brushed with Folkart Yellow Ochre and highlighted with Delta Ceramcoat Antique White.

The pike were made with medium gauge florists wire, painted with English Mustard brown and GW Boltgun silver.
Painting and finishing this unit has been very satisfying. By limiting my primary color palette to four colors -Yellow, Blue, Brown and Green - I was able to complete the unit relatively quickly and avoid Renaissance color burnout.
