1/76th is, of course, the ideal army scale, starting with Airfix and going from there. However, Rose did a couple of WW2 figures and I had some lying around.

| Had enough for 3 sections and, being Fantasy, I added an officer and standard bearer - both 'conversions' that don't stand close scrutiny. |

| Size and 'heft' wise they match the Ridley 1/76th figures as long as I don't put them on mdf bases. |

| They look good against the Independent. |

| But look small next to the armoured cars. Thing is, they are right - it's just that those 8' high armoured cars were big in real life. |
Good work. I used HAT WW1 Americans for my Raid on Innsmouth project (which never got completed). I look forward to seeing your chaps battling nameless entities.
ReplyDeleteCertainly the way for larger scale actions - Naval or land. When I started the project I based it on 25/28mm as buildings/figures available suggested that was best - on current knowledge I would have one straight to 20mm/1/76th.
DeleteThe figures and scenery look good together.
ReplyDeleteYes - as wargames rather than skirmish/display. I tend to differentiate between the two.
DeleteI prefer the naive look for skirmishes, allows more room for the imagination. or maybe thats a cover for nostalgia...na.
ReplyDeleteI tend to think of skirmish as well-painted individual pose figures while wargames armies are painted to a reasonable standard - looks good in bulk - with a limited number of poses.
