how do u guys think about it:

to make small but detailed sprite of something like "rat" or perhars another small animals.(which shouldn't be too much hard work since its small).

then make them in 40-60 regiment, give them rule of 'swarm" (like skellies - never flee but dead every turn as many as they lost in battle check), so they willnt suffer that much from artillery file & archers (meant, willn't flee).

but before making we need to know, if distance between models is always the same and doesnt affected by the sprite size? cause they seems need to be little more compact than just big horde of goblins...

You could make every sprite consist of three rats to give the appearance of 90-unit swarms.

but 30 units or 90 unit makes very much sense in terms of "swarm rule", as well as other checks. is 32 limitation is true?

its much better idea. but then they will be lol harder to kill. i think it might be very fun to create some "ultra" creatures, like swarm of wasps with stats like ST2 WS8 TO1 IN8 LS5 AT1 MO5 (but swarm rule) etc.

A swarm of three units per sprite should probably have something like WS7or8, S1or2, T1or2, Wd1, A3
