OOOOOOOOOOH, that sheds some new light on things definatly. i thought everything was a packed unit, i was all worried about perfectly cut bases for solid ranks.
i made a whole bunch of bases out of plasticard but they are not perfectly square, i gues i can use them now.
Dave, just to clarify:
The infantry UNITS have a 5cm coherency. When you're basing them on a stand, the little models will be right next to each other (should to should for some model types), but the units themselves need to be a maximum of 5cm apart. So you can bunch your troops up if you want (which may be an option when there is no opposing artillery, or mandatory if you are crossing a bridge), but you don't have to.
Take a look at some of the pictures posted in these threads here, and here. It may give you a better idea what things should look like. Now these guys are (what I consider to be) pro's or experts, so don't let the paint jobs discourage you. 
Also check out the pic attached, this is from one of my games - you can see how my Eldar are spread out near the Blitz objective / Wraith Gate. Still in coherency but not on top of each other._________________
