I think it looks best for both types of games: mass figures for big engagements while smaller amount of larger figures for skirmish. Just my silly opinion thought. I can understand your conundrum as I'd love to do EVERYTHING in 28mm...Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-85142858878109111532014-07-30T06:20:49.430-07:002014-07-30T06:20:49.430-07:00That's the way I was leaning, but still undeci...That's the way I was leaning, but still undecided.<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-28782258373414701922014-07-30T06:19:43.050-07:002014-07-30T06:19:43.050-07:00Thanks Ray and I'll need to think it over.

Anyhow money of course is always something to consider, but really isn't the issue here except perhaps terrain. The problem is I like both variety and painting. With 28mm the figures are better sculpted and look fantastic en mass and are easier to paint, but with 15mm I can do twice as many armies offering more gaming possibilities. I find it hard doing both as I feel I'm taking time away from the other.<br /><br />Christopher Christopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-13410157629482899512014-07-29T06:59:27.431-07:002014-07-29T06:59:27.431-07:00Awesome collection of 28mm miniatures you have her...Awesome collection of 28mm miniatures you have here Christopher!<br /><br />I think you should work on your 28mm projects first, I mean, what was or is your gut feeling to paint... 28mm :o) right? having said that, I concur with Jonathan If storage and expense isn't an issue, do both! :o)<br /><br />cheers,Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-84280497341334776032014-07-29T06:26:41.331-07:002014-07-29T06:26:41.331-07:00Wow!

Well, perfect for me, at least.<br /><br />As for ancient/medieval scales, I would gravitate towards what provides you with the most utility. If painting is at the fore, go the 28mm route. I, for one, would enjoy seeing more of your 28mm handiwork. If storage and expense isn't an issue, do both!<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing the results in whichever direction you choose.
