All that matters is that they pass the "one metre test". If they look good when you're standing at the table that's what most of us aspire to. And yours certainly do.

Perfectly put.

If you're painting for a comp that's one thing but, as someone here pointed out not so long ago, get them on the table where they're meant to be!  So don't worry about highlighting belt buckles

yup agree  as long as the local religious leaders are happy then its ok by me... Maybe I m thinking of the mitre test instead   

The "table test" as I call it has always been my standard, but I'm used to 28mm so there is still a load of detail work, lol. Thank you guys for all the encouragement!

Today two things will be happening: 1) I'll be buying a new set of detail brushes 2) I'll be placing my Pendraken order!

When I get a sec I'll post the shopping list for you guys to see.

Ah well, another addict for the Dark Lord to consume...

Getagrip: To which "dark lord" are you referring to? There are a few to choose from 

Alright, shopping time!

Fantasy Army: Items pulled from the late medieval line. Army plan is pike line backed up by small combat and ranged units.

3x 30 pikes
3x 20 foot knights
3x 20 billmen
2x 15 knights
3x 20 longbows
3x medium guns
3x organ guns
6x command units ( each a captain, standard, and musician from ELM 24a)
1x 15 mounted longbows
2x mounted commanders
1x mounted king

WW2: Army plan will be an infantry company with battalion level support and attached anti tank units. This list includes what I already have for the sake of simplicity.

3x Infantry platoons consisting of 3x infantry squads w/ BAR and a command Squad
Company command squad
6x .30cal machine guns
3x 60mm mortars
6x 57mm anti tank guns
3x M1A2 105mm howitzers
3x M18 Hellcats
3x M12 GMCs
3x 2 1/2 ton trucks (transport for one platoon)
2x jeeps (transport for a platoon command squad and company command squad)

I already have plans for expanding both armies in time and if group interests persist. But if this  first batch is anything to go by I'll be collecting long past these plans

Loving the fantasy army; can't have too many pointy sticks

My Warmaster Empire army currently has 20 units of halberds...currently 

20 UNITS? How many dudesmen?

So I have the first terrain board finished as well as my first batch of models. I would say I have about a month before my order arrives so I think I'm going to do a new terrain board. I'm wanting this one to be for fantasy oriented but I'm having issues finding ideas and inspiration. The only input I've received from my friends is that they want to be able to play siege games so it will need a space for a fortress to be placed. Other than that its a blank slate.

Anybody have any ideas/inspirational pics?

15 per unit

Is a dudesman some sort of Americanism? Can't say I've ever come across that expression in wargaming; only in terms of losing one's car.

As far as I know its just between my friends and I, lol. I didn't even realize that I posted it until later  It came about when a friend accidentally combined the words "dudes" and "guardsmen" while playing 40k.

All hail!

All Hail his Sable Majesty!
