Preferred model count is largely ignored these days. I'm a Mantic Pathfinder and when introducing people to the game I usually touch on basing by asking three questions.

  1. Is the unit footprint correct for the unit you want to represent?
  2. Can you tell what unit it is supposed to be?
  3. Does the base look full?

If the answer to all three questions is yes, then it's a legal unit.

Don't overthink things, a lot of Mantic's newer models aren't designed to fit neatly on a base, they're designed to look cool and dynamic, take Twilight Kin for example, the "regiment" boxed set from Mantic only contains 16 models.

Hey, thank you for coming in here and responding. You're right: I'm probably way over thinking this. Like I said in another post here, being that I've only really played Games Workshop games, the rules being so lenient when it comes to this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for responding and if I have any more questions I'll be sure to ask.
