Mounted as 3 per base? Or 4? And base size can be 40-60mm deep, is this correct?

I like to, for artistic reasons, have 3-4 dismounted archers and 1-2 mounted or horses with horse holders. I do this to convey that medieval mtd archers are really dragoons in that they moved by horse but deployed 'a pied'. |

Thanks Roland, so the list says 4Lb so I assume its 4 per base, hoping I have a larger base!! Thanks again you're a wealth of knowledge for this newbie

Found this instead "Mounted Infantry are based as 3-4 foot figures plus a vehicle, led mount or mounted figure." This answers my question, I should re-read the rules!

Ah...in what way do the other links not work?
Are you getting a “404 Error Message”? If so that’s because you’re using a mobile device.
The Fanaticus Wiki can only be accessed from a computer.
(It’s about time the site owners updated their site protocols to allow for mobile devices).
And remember that you may need to click on “See full size image” to read the files.

I tend to use two bases 20mm deep. One with the standard 3 or 4 bows and one with the horse holders and mounts.
This is more economical as you do not have to purchase and paint up double amounts of bows.
Just as long as one explains to ones oppo that in effect the two bases are stuck together - no one seems to mind.
Another observation is that when you get DBA 3 armies from Essex say, you often get actual bow figures mounted on horses ie the Scots Common or Central Asian Turkish mounted on Camels. These are not technically aligned with the rules, but assume that no one would mind putting these on 40x40 bases say as Mtd-Bw etc

Great minds, phippsy, just wrapping up 8 of the Minifig ZC640 Mounted Longbowmen that I will be mounting on 20x40s to 'mate' with 3 or 4LB as needed.
Using steel base so that I can use a 40x40 steel to move them with.
