I find the best test for usable figures is "gaming distance" - that's where I'll normally see them at, so looking best at about an arms length is about right IMO

Unless it's "display quality" figures you're after where they should be admired at a six inch distance and create exclamations of "BUT THAT'S BETTER THAN MY 28's! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

My stuff is definitely best viewed at arm's length. Excuse the shaky handwriting.

It was especially the 'couples of arm lenghts' that made me laugh
I was wondering how far off one would be standing then...
Personally I normally go for the 'total look' (so basing, grouping, numbers etc.) for my units but in this case I really paint them almost individually.
The other Union troops are going pretty well now so pictures by the end of the week I guess... Hopefully they can stand up to 'closer examination' (although I understand that 'closer' is a retative term... )

Sorry, I meant from a distance like this.

I dread to think where the other arm comes from, it sounds a very harsh way to treat an opponenet "I need a bit more distance, give me your arm... *wrench, rip, tear*"

Yeah, basing really helps IMO as well - lifts figures nicely and gives a really good look!

But yes, that's a cracking shot Bt - looks ace.

Beautifull picture General sir! That's how a wargaming table should look...
Are all the figures and scenery yours?

Cheers,

In the words of Boris - "Very nice."

Boris...? Boris 'The Blade'?

Ohhhhh.....

So, not "Boris the Spider" by that beat combo "The Who", then.

No, sorry Techno! We won't get fooled by that. Again.

Hmmmm... I seem to be missing some basic info here. Even so; don't think I mind... a lot...

Very good, Pixie.

I'm that well known Russo-Irish grandmother. However I'm leaving for America due to the devastation the grandchildren are stuck in...

Looking great so far.
