I think ...Hello, all, and thanks for your comments. I think the true course will be much as Mike suggests. The most sensible course seems to be to paint up the 18's I have for big battles while trying to worry less about prettiness, and to save "artistic expression" for bigger figures and smaller Syldavian scenarios. Given what I have already finished what I will have done in near future, I'll make finishing usefully large forces in 18mm a priority. I'd rather not re-start completely from scratch and it will be good to get a few battles for this campaign going. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping in!<br /><br />JimJiminhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163197311165054930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-63665345620908519082010-03-13T13:30:02.688-08:002010-03-13T13:30:02.688-08:00I'm also a fan of RSM95's, finding them re...I'm also a fan of RSM95's, finding them really nicely proportioned and easy to paint to my 'three feet rule.' I can see the appeal of 15's and even 10mm for storage and table-space reasons, although my eyesight doesn't permit me much work at those scales. Anyway, good luck with finding your true course.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-65965686227783555812010-03-13T11:04:25.904-08:002010-03-13T11:04:25.904-08:00Very nice painting in both scales.

I have both 15mm in a substantially large Austrian army, and 30mm represented in the army of St. Maurice. The 15's are for wargames. The larger scale is also for gaming, but they are the collection. There's a certain elegance that defines this period that means little details and petty finery unavailable on the smaller guys. The choice of scale is yours obviously, and it is clear that you'll do a credible job no matter which you pick. Lovely work. - MikejustMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11181990096900827232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-22353009463365190882010-03-13T00:17:37.745-08:002010-03-13T00:17:37.745-08:00It cannot be denied: your RSM look better than you...It cannot be denied: your RSM look better than your Eurekas.<br />Then, I'm strongly biased against anything smaller than 25mm, for personal reasons: when Ancient - Medieval wargaming started to become popular in France, all newcomers choose 15mm and I felt very lonely with my 1,000+ 25 - 28mm!abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-78052067965519321452010-03-12T22:57:13.060-08:002010-03-12T22:57:13.060-08:00I really do think that your RSM figure looks bette...I really do think that your RSM figure looks better than your Eurekas . . . but then I'm a fan of the RSMs.<br /><br />As for Mindens, they are gorgeous . . . and I personally wish that they weren't quite so detailed . . . even though the detail is very good. <br /><br />Personally I find that too much detail demands that I paint all of it . . . even the things that can't be seen at "gaming distances" . . . maybe that is just me because Franks figures are very very nice . . . and they go great with RSMs.<br /><br />But, do not worry about what we or anyone else writes. Paint the figures you enjoy painting! That is how you'll get an army on the table top . . . paint the figures that you enjoy painting.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758062612953572120.post-10904976427044208802010-03-12T22:47:10.546-08:002010-03-12T22:47:10.546-08:00Super figures and a post as interesting as ever!Super figures and a post as interesting as ever!tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.com
