The start of a new project with the aim to get two armies finished before Xmas!

Good luck with this, but, as you say, they'll not be to everyone's taste. Certainly not mine. Think I'd just use card counters if I was going that abstract.

Very interesting read, I have thought about trying these figures ut and they are very tempting. Looking forward to seeing them painted up. :)

Yep, not to everyone's taste for sure, but then 54mm wargaming leaves me cold. Each to their own :).

Nice - I imagine they are very lightweight

Yep, picking them up is weird as you feel you're just picking up a base.

I'd forgotten about the HoA thread, which really shows how great these look en masse. My offerings are on a much more modest scale.

Looking really well. I'm sure it comes across great on the tabletop

Excellent

Aye, they look really good.

My only criticism would be that only one line of infantry on a base means they look a little lost.

QuoteMy only criticism would be that only one line of infantry on a base means they look a little lost.
This was done purely for the speed of painting and to avoid the wait for more figures to arrive. In the end I've grown to like the simple aesthetic of a singe line, but I do know what oyu mean about them being a bit lost on the base.

Nicely done, will be a treat to play these out on the table-top (one day).

They have turned out really well, good work on them. :)

I have to admit these look really good for being just 2 dimensional models, really well done!
