In the previous post I detailed the three game changers that led directly to where I find myself today.
So where is that ?
At the start of May last year I had no 15mm figures, vehicles nor terrain - Zero, Zilch, Nada !
Today I have
- Four complete CoC platoons, plus the ability to make a couple more by adding or subtracting figures as required.
- 12 fully painted and table ready British vehicles
- 8 fully painted and table ready German vehicles
- a small village of French styled farm buildings and barns
- a small forest of trees, hedges and table scatter.
- and sufficient road elements to create a realistic road network.
All of this has been driven by the move to 15mm, which really hits a sweet spot. The vehicles and figures can be more quickly painted when compared to their larger brethren, and yet retain a good level of detail so they also look good on the table.
That is an impressive output there and really nicely painted too. I agree that the smaller scales other than 28mm are better (I prefer 20mm) as they give you a lot more manoeuvre space on the table and have the bonus of being easier to store too
ReplyDeleteIn my mind the smaller scales win hand down but without too much loss of detail or visual appeal
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree, to me 20mm is the ideal trade off between playability and the figures being big enough to paint like I wish to. For some reason 28mm continues to rule though...
Deletewell there are so many lovely 28mm figures to paint I can kinda understand it. 28mm for painting and display, 15mm (or in your case 20mm) to play
