How frustrating it is to rebase all those figurines. Just buy my upcoming T'ang Chinese and you won't have to worry about all that pesky ripping up and breakage!
When will these figures be available for sale?

Sunday or Monday. I just got the images of the models today. They were sculpted by Rod Campbell.
Here are two sneak peek images.

Nice figures, but unfortunately I have many many chinese figures.
I'm making some army lists in order to check how many MF I need ................. hoping not to rebase all my infantry troops

Sergio,
Whilst I sympathise with you feeling a need to rebase, I have to stand up for what I believe. I think that Phil Barker has done the wrong thing in trying to keep things 'the way they were' for too long. His approach has been one of 'don't for the love of mercy change base sizes or the number of figures per base, or even the amount of points a Roman Legionary costs!!!
Yes, it can be frustrating to have your army suddenly not be as good as it was, or a different troop type than it already was. Take a look at the difference between the Ghurid in DBM and FOG. Anyone want to buy some Arabic style archers???
It's a different game, and it might be nice to be able to transport them over from another system, but shouldn't be a mandate.
If you went from Horse and Musket WRG to Napoleon's Battles you had a LOT of change - for example.
Regards

Well, I'm alright Jack, sortof! I happen to have all the dismounted cavaly options for DBM for my Han (as Ax(S)) so there's 16 bases of medium foot, plus I went for the Aux(X) option for my Spring and Autumns (Eastern Zhou) so they're all medium foot - hurrah! Only big rebasing projects are for the Ming, Song and Southern Dynasties - should keep me off the streets for the winter...

I completely agree.
For example regarding FOGN, I have all my figures based for Napoleon’s Battles and for the moment I’ve decided not to rebase them.
Regarding Chinese and Samurai armies, likely I don’t have to rebase Early Zhou, Warring States, 3 Kingdoms Koreans and Chinese, Western Wei, Yuan.
But unfortunately I don’t have enough MF for Western Han, Song, Ming and Samurai (with bushi) …………….. so I’m a little bit
As Chinese armies are my favourite ones yesterday I’ve started to work with some MF and also LF (I need more LF BG for Early Zhou).
