Models with Table Top Impact

[Fingolfin]

Which units do you field, that really look the business visually? and fill you with aesthetic joy?

Some units just ping on the table, either naturally imposing, favourite genres or just good sculpts.

What Pendraken stuff gives you most joy to see on your board?

All of them.

The most recent presentation of Ancient Greeks are also rather spiffy. (Though I don't have photographs)

Though Medieval is always rather attractive.


The English Civil War ranges are also rather imposing. 
 

From the Napoleonic period I'd say the the Peninsula and 1815 ranges are particularly good; the RHA Rocket Troops are rather fun. Cuirassiers, always. Having said that I think the French Dragoons and Chasseurs are under-appreciated.


The WWII ranges can be quite eye-catching. Especially the French.


The new SF ranges are also rather splendid.


And one must say, one does love the Centurions


So yeah. All of them.

The Unilateralist! That's quite an amazing collection... The Medieval Knights really hit it for for me from your selection.

My 28mm plastics for War of the Roses. They were kits from I can't remember,  but you'll know it if I remember. As kits you could mix and match arms and heads, so they are all in various poses. I even strung all the bows with thread.

Also the heroes from the other WotR - the Citadel ones to go with their Lord of the Rings game which had a part work about the sam3 time as the movies. I even got the golden embroidery on Boromir's tunic.

A Man of Gondor! I salute you and your embroidered Boromir. I play the GW 'War of the Ring' rules at 10mm scale. Would dearly love a massive Gondor Army.

I'd say I'm a workman like (and reluctant) painter at best but I'm rather fond of the command units I've done for BKC

Currently testing some Napoleonic rules I've written for an un-named publisher, using 10mm Pendraken at 1:10 basing is certainly visually impressive.
Haven't got any photos yet.

In 28mm my cavalry conversions for 1839 Afghans, 1877 Turks and 19th Century Ethiopians certainly look the biz, even if they are functionally useless.

10mm is such great scale for big units

Absolutely spectacular! They all look like tiny dioramas in their own right.

I never aimed for more than trying to follow in your footsteps, while making sure it doesn't interfere with how the bases work in actual gameplay.

Following Fingolfin's questions—and honestly, after what I've submitted to the painting competition, I may as well bury my brushes and never take them out again...

In my case, I lean towards historical fantasy. The best bases are like Ithoriel's: if the bases are already small, from an overall army view you barely notice anything. So I prefer to enjoy the pieces both on the table and in the display cabinet.

For me, dynamism and epic feel are essential, far more so than strict uniformity. Any command stand automatically draws my attention, but personally I really enjoy working with mini-dioramas, as they let you enjoy the miniatures two or three times over.

What I find most interesting of all—especially with the Pendraken scale—is how quickly you can produce entire forces compared to other ranges, without losing detail or a proper sense of "army".

Note: back in Warhammer Fantasy, I loved over-decorating the most expendable units, which usually resulted in my opponents being irrationally afraid of them and focusing their attacks there—eventually becoming a rather essential strategic element

Quantity has a Quality all it's own.

My ECW pike bases are 15 or 16 men on a 30mm square base, as dense as they go.
