Thanks again.

Must admit i rushed these again, probably forgot a few details. But i'm very happy with tabletop standard lately.I just get so much more output, and when on the table, they look just as good!

Think i finally found the right balance. When i was in my 'teens', i painted everything very fast just to get them ready. I had great output but they looked like cr*p. Then after a small hiatus of a couple of years, where i just played and didn't paint, i started doing more and more detailed paintjobs. I was happy with the result but had very low output. Last year with my aim to paint 1000 models, i dropped the standard a bit, and had decent results and output! That was the sweet spot i needed!

I used to paint stuff like this, took bloody forever!

Assuming the battle opens with the the opposing forces at either end of a large, open field I'd say five to four on the Napoleonic artillery (unless, of course, the purple things have wings or jet packs).

I take your point, however, the purple things are exquisitely painted, but the artillery is very serviceable and painted to look the part.
In the proposed battle above once the shooting and clawing starts nobody will notice the difference in detailing! Congrats on your consistent progress in diminishing the mountain!

Napoleonic artillery  :-bd =D> :-bd

Other things - very detailed painting

As you say it is about finding a level of detail that works on the table and allows you to produce at a reasonable rate
