Hey guys. Im looking to pick up some movement trays for my elves. I was wondering what size I would need and if you have an recommendations?

Why bother with movement trays? Glue the bases in two rows of 5, basically ten-man blocks, and if you want a horde, you use 4 of those, if you want a regiment of 20, you use two. Or did you want them for warhammer as well? In which case, I actually recommend GW's modular movement trays.

Understand you may want to keep your models individually based, that way you can use them for games that remove models as casualties.

Movement tray would be 5 (troop or regiment) or 10 (horde) man frontage.

Most models like elves are 20mm bases but Orcs (25mm) and Ogres (40mm) are notable exceptions.

For a 20 man or elf infantry unit of most infantry, you'd need 100mm x 80 mm (deep).

For a six-man Ogre unit, you'd need 120mm x 80mm (deep).

Id like to be able to separate them incase I decide to use them for other games.

Thanks for the tip. Im painting elves at the moment so ill pick up some of the 100x80mm

I personally multibase them on 100x40's so they can be fielded as a troops, or two for a regiment, or four for a horde. I use Warbases.

Mine are 100x20, makes for more options.

I think the only thing I have based like that are my Orc Sniffs on 125x25. My goblins can't even be fielded that small.

Have a look at these, Kingly wars movement trays...
