There's a bit of a lull in Quar, and picking up the deal on some Wargames Atlantic figures last weekend has me shifting some attention back to Midgard.
My A&A 3rd century Romans are nicely based on washers, so I've made some Midgard bases with thick board and magnets.
But the opposition Goths, and some Warlord Roman auxiliaries, will be based as units of 7 or 8 figures on 120mm x 60mm bases.

I never liked how the Warlord figures ranked up on 40x40 bases. A bit more elbow room has them looking more dynamic. It also gives me two units, instead of one with 4 figures left over. Only putting 7 on one base leaves the Centurion free to be based as a Hero.
These Goth warriors, that I did for my Rohirrim (and have been used once) have been rebased the same way, giving me 3 more units of warriors (instead of only two units of 12 figures on 40x40 bases).
And some Heroes on foot.
The Gripping Beast Gothic Noble Cavalry are already based on a mix of 50mm x 50mm and 20mm x 50mm bases. So 5 figures make a unit and no rebasing required!
This nets me four Cavalry units, plus a 2 figure stand for the Army Commander.

Two left over cavalry can be heroes.
I'll start assembling and painting the Wargames Atlantic figures in manageable batches of 8 I think. The 30 figure box will produce 3x units of warriors and 1x unit of skirmishing archers.
