Typically in 15mm I charge $0.80 per foot and $1.60 mounted or vehicle including basing. For 28mm, I typically charge $2.00 foot and $4.00 mounted, but depends on what it is.Bob Barnetsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12164225489620639641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978918096761701249.post-77426271152183776792013-02-17T08:45:16.497-07:002013-02-17T08:45:16.497-07:00How much is your commission work?

I have Hordes for my Orc and Goblin army too. I don't care if they suck. They're the "right" thing to have. <br /><br />It's like building a Early Libyan DBA army and deciding that all that psiloi "suck" and deciding to field them as blade from then on...? <br /><br />We use the unofficial/semi-official tweak for Bow and Warband (reduce Bow movement to 200 paces, and increase Warband movement to 300) Seems to balance things out a bit better. <br /><br />The unit/stand type I really love is the riders - it's the best of Light Horse (500 pace movement) and Cavalry (+3 vs everything, quick killed only in bad going).timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978918096761701249.post-86817752000098846112010-06-07T18:22:36.928-07:002010-06-07T18:22:36.928-07:00A bit of sleuthing suggests these are Vampire Coun...A bit of sleuthing suggests these are Vampire Count troops!
