So you think your fow figures are small!
Pfah! I laugh at your 15mms! i've just bought some 10mm acw figures.
Now they are small! Don't know how i'm going to paint them, or how i'm supposed to assemble the 3 piece cannon either.

I used to play a lot of epic (still got a couple forces), those figures are something like 3mm, 1-200th i think.
I think the smaller they get the easier it is =]

A three piece 10mm cannon? Crikey don't sneeze Phil or you might inhale it! There's some common 6mm scale from WW games too evidentely. 15mm is probably small enough for me though any smaller than that and I'd be tempted just to use counters...
Ah Epic...always seemed like a good idea but the figures are so hard to come by and so expensive from Forge World I never got into it. Rules are free now though!

I've tried some 10mm figures before but they were skeletons so they didn't really require painting. Just a 3 layer dry brush and pick out the details. Quite fun actually!  |

Dont let yer customers hear that  or Damn thats impresive work with ropey eyes... This would drive your eyes to the unfathomable realms of ropedness, Some guy converts epic models (6mm) as he mentions somewhere... at first I thought he was a realy crap 28mm sculpter until I noticed that it was epic... www.lexcore.co.uk/Epic4/index2.php |

I can't work out what they can be. I've seen some photo-etched figures for ship modelling, but even they weren't that small.

2mm?! Im sorry but thats insanity. I dont see how at that point they are still figures. I mean 2mm! all the people could look like is tiny little sticks ok found this: www.btinternet.com/~gildasfacit/2mm/2mm_gallery.htmApart from horses I couldn't really figure out what was what.... I just dont understand the appeal... well unless you lived on a submarine but HAD to play large scale battles.  |
