Warlord Epic scale

[Ben Waterhouse]

Beautiful artist, fantastic details... but... paper soldiers do nothing for me.

The WoFun figures look really good, but are a bit large scale (even at 18mm) for my available space.  They also feel quite expensive for the amount that you get, you can buy a lot of 10mm metals for that amount of money, even if you do have to paint them yourself.

I am well behind the times, never heard of Warlord Epic 12mm nor Wofun. Plexiglass figures?? In 18mm and 28mm. Erm, whatever next?

I have some 1970s Military Modelling magazines with German metal flats in, not sure of the scale.
History repeating itself.....

Well, as I said from the word go, they are not for everybody. They work for me because I am being pragmatic. I have tons of metal and plastic unpainted and I am now 68. Some of that unpainted stuff I have had since the mid-80s, so for me this is a way of being able to get two attractive armies on table that will actually look better than I can paint, so at least I can start playing immediately a period I am interested in before my enthusiasm wanes as a result of painting becoming a back aching chore.

I can relate although I am 2 years younger and probably a few Kg behind.   
As you have seen WoFun for real , do you think they work better in 18 than 28 ?  I'm wondering if the "flat" becomes less noticeable as the scale goes down.
I have a boxed Dark Age slog game (PSC Battle Ravens) where the Dennis figures were put on card but there they are clearly paper figures on a bit of flat card. 
{saved me painting 400 shield wall minis though!}

The WoFun figures do look good, and yes they are modern flats, but they are coloured in, and cut out. Assembly is just put them on the bases.

I have seen a video where the player painted the edges, this seemed quick and improved the look further.
