I would say the easiest might be to use the AllView game (which has all the units in the game available for viewing) then use the formation command. That view seems about the right size and there is only one background color to mess with.

You might also set the games graphic settings different. Such as low-res and 100% non-traparent screens

Doing a battle would help you get the second sprite for combat but usually if you are going to edit it anyway the combat move isnt that hard to do. Just turning an arm or something. I would just use the first sprite and create the second by cut-n-paste
