Fire in the Sky Bases




I'm going to use my tried and tested panel pin and magnet method when basing the squadrons for Fire in the Sky

The fighters will be based on 3mm thick MDF bases in finger four formation, each base being 120mm x 40mm, while the bombers will be based in formations of six on 3mm x 150mm squares. I couldn't fit mine bombers onto this size base but I think six looks fine and does create the impression of a bomber box.

I'm not going to use different length panel pins for altitude but will stick a dice frame on each base instead, so that the three levels can be identified by turning the dice to one, two or three dots. I did think about using a custom token for this but dice are a good way to keep it simple.

I'll aim to get a prototype assembled and painted over the weekend.

  1. I wondered if you might do that. I'm still torn and need to experiment.
