I don't know what formations to put Easterlings in. As some of you know, the Easterling box set come with only 4 pikes men. Normally, with my formations i would put the pikes men on one movement tray and swordsmen on the next and archers on the last. I can't do this because of only 4/8 pikes men. I am hoping (but if it must be then fine) that I don't have to buy some seperate pikes men. Thanks for reading, hope to hear from you soon.

Why not just fill the front rank with pike-armed warriors and the next rank with normal Easterlings? as long as you make it clear to your opponent that the whole formation has pikes it shouldn't be a problem

SarumanTheWhite, In that situation I would be inclined to convert. This isn't scarily difficult with plastics and a range of 25/28mm historicals vendors provide separate weapons - so you should find one that has the right postage options for you. Pike in particular are very common, since many historicals pike models come with these as separate, due to the lack of durability of ones cast using the same soft metal as the models.
