This ...Thanks for the words of encouragement, guys. This will be assembly-line painting in its most stripped down form. I'm thinking I'll block paint the basics, shade with Army Painter and then pick out a few highlights. I'll probably spend a bit of time to get the flags right as they will be the focal-point of the units. Again, at this scale the eye is drawn to the larger perspective, seeing the mass of the formations, not the detail.<br /><br />CurtCurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-90964179818896573382011-11-22T17:50:55.344-06:002011-11-22T17:50:55.344-06:00Does each individual have a name?; "Poor Serg...Does each individual have a name?; "Poor Sergeant Murphy's bit the dust", or "there goes Trooper Smith":-D<br /><br />Thinking about painting this scale makes my head hurt!

I have painted Pico Armour stuff and it's great. <br /><br />I've been tempted to try something along this level of madness with moderns... Either the Fulda Gap-what if-type thing or the Golan Heights from 73, where the tanks are 1 to 1...but I'll see how things go with the 6mm sci fi skirmish first.Greg Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090722688748673409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-61268380399694212232011-11-22T10:26:06.755-06:002011-11-22T10:26:06.755-06:00Yeah, this whole caper is a little bonkers, I know...Yeah, this whole caper is a little bonkers, I know. I find that gaming in these smaller scales encourages a totally different aesthetic to the tabletop. Instead of the detail and nuance of the figures and uniforms it is the mass and grandeur of the formations and landscape that you are trying to capture. I find this shift in perspective quite appealing actually.<br /><br />@John - The piece of terrain they are set-up on is a garden variety blue-insulation hill which I've embellished with Liquitex gel, bits of gravel and few shades of brown/tan craft paint. I find it breaks up the uniform 'greeness' of the flocking.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-44373406058768526562011-11-22T09:01:27.869-06:002011-11-22T09:01:27.869-06:00That is a huge!
