Hi all, I thought I'd post photos of my various projects, currently a mix of 28mm, 15mm, 6mm and 1/72.
Most are made with Warhammer in mind, others are generic fantasy with historical models thrown in.
Hope you like!
-
Some nurglings based individually for 15mm, can be combined for 40mm bases in Warhammer.
-
15mm Orcs and goblins, a mix of Demonworld and Eureka Miniatures.
-
Some more Eureka, mix of 10mm and 15mm.
-
Splendidly tiny 🥰👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
My poor eyes…
-
Excellent, all of them. More of this tiny goodness.
-
beautiful paintings! WOW :o
I'm really looking forward for the 1/72 (aka 20mm) stuff, because this is my scale to go. Also scale comparisons would be nice. I'm sure there are 15mm monsters that look really good next to a 1/72 mini o_o
-
Very cool, I love to see what others do with smaller scales; I actually have both 15mm Copplestone Barbarians and a bunch of 15mm and 10mm Xenomorphs from Khurasan and Pendraken that I should get moving in the queue.
-
Thanks for some kind words! I'll keep posting everything that's fairly recent until I'm up to date, then go a little more in depth as I work on current projects.
-
GW, Eureka, Demonworld models!
-
Some good old 28mm, going through photos from a year or so ago.
-
What’s a “nurgling”?
Dan
-
There are some great 28mm figures, though especially like the classic beast men and orcs.
-
A really nice collection of figures, well tied together by your brushwork and colour pallette. I particularly like the plastic goblin from the old Fantasy Regiments box, you've made a great job of that.
-
Thanks for the kind words!
Another oldie:
-
Two more fairly recent.
-
Very nice work, I like your choice of colours!
-
Very nice work, I like your choice of colours!
Thanks! I loved working on these.
Some more Oathmark:
-
Again, really nice work there! Your choice of subdued colours really works for those figures.
-
Very nice like the color scheme and tartans.
-
Love your 15mm fantasy on the previous page, and very nice plaid on your Oathmark humans. True dedication to doing fantasy in two scales at the same time ;)
-
Tidy. I really like these.
-
Wow thanks for the kind words everyone!
True dedication to doing fantasy in two scales at the same time ;)
Two?? 😀 28mm, 15mm, 1/72, 6mm, 10mm and 2mm currently ❤
-
I did say all scales? Just about.
-
Eureka and Bob Olley ogre, Chronopia dudes:
-
Asgard (Vikingforge) troll, Bob Olley Ral Partha ogre and GW savage orcs, some of my faves!
-
Asgard models (from Vikingforge).
-
I think that snakey dude now has been released through Alternative Armies.
-
A lot of nice pics here, thanks for sharing!
-
Some kind words again haha! Thanks. Here are some really cheap options for battlefields. The red chaos world made my eyes hurt though...
I think that snakey dude now has been released through Alternative Armies.
Yep, inspired me to finish mine from years ago.
-
A couple of 15mm photos. As usual, 28mm monsters make good giants!
-
Great work! Lots of cool old school sculpts. 👍
-
My eyes they hurt from this awesomeness haha
Love this stuff mate! Keep going! :D
-
Great work! Lots of cool old school sculpts. 👍
Love seeing the older sculps to!
-
Spectacular work.
-
Thanks for some kind words all!
Since I did say all scales, here are two Runequest themed projects - 1/72 and 10mm. Beaatmen/broo are from Eureka, sent as free samples with an order almost 20 years ago and now they're about to get an order from me!
-
Some more Runequest. War zebras in the setting are as big as horses, but I still chose the smallest I had. A really fun idea but so fiddly!
-
I love the war zebras!
-
I bought a box of Oathmark humans and got as far as three (I chose a difficult scheme) so I've decided to mix some among my mutants/beastmen units. I'll add varying degrees of mutations, Mr. test scheme here just got a horn!
I love the war zebras!
Thank you!
-
:o :o :oWow! Really awesome stuff! I love how the 28mm Minotaur becomes a ferocious huge monster and the way those 1/72 humans work with smaller stuff is just terrific!
-
Kind words again!
Today I've painted some 10mm from Eureka. A project for the year is to paint matched beastmen and lizardmen armies for solo games. I want to actually finish them, and have decent numbers, so 10mm and very simple painting it is! I'm not sure if in my mind they'll be for Warhammer fantasy or age of Sigmar yet...
-
That Persian Zebra did tickle me pink. lol
Very creative...
-
Very nice additions to the beast and reptile armies. I don’t think I have seen those figures before - they look like quite good sculpts and your painting suits them!
-
Yes, very nice models with suitable paintjobs on them! Enjoy playing some nice games!
-
Thanks again everyone!
Very nice additions to the beast and reptile armies. I don’t think I have seen those figures before - they look like quite good sculpts and your painting suits them!
Thanks! The beastmen aren't nearly as good as the lizardmen, some really basic weapons and hands. There's a good number of variations (more than they show on their site) and they do sets with different animal heads. There is a larger set sold as "ogre beasts" that are really just beastmen, I'm going to use them as characters and as slightly small beastmen in my 15mm army.
-
Cool new additions!
-
Some more beastmen, I love the shaman model so I bought six...
-
Oh yes, the shaman is pretty cool. And in a beastie force you cannot have enough of them!
-
15mm today (they're actually 10mm "ogre beasts" by Eureka, I'm using them as slightly small beastmen, Demonworld 15mm to scale)
-
A horde worthy of the gods! They fit perfectly.
-
Brillant! :o
I always love such scale shots. There’s a lot of good stuff hidden in the 10/12mm department that can be used for 15mm.
These work really well as „little folk“!
-
Thanks again! Yeah, lots of scales can mix without much trouble.
Today another mutant, Mantic orc body and shield/arm, oathmark head and weapon/arm, warhammer chaos shoulderpad.
-
That’s a great kitbash! I never thought about using the Mantic orcs for mutated chaos followers, but I like how yours turned out. Totally has that twisted look. Thanks for the inspiration!
-

I’ll second that! Very cool idea!
-

Thanks both of you! I bought an army of Mantic orcs, only to find I don't really like them. I did some mutants years ago, starting again in my current style.
-
Some wonderful "Faeries transforming into carrion" from Eureka. Part of a 28mm range (Avalon Burning) that just so happen to suit 15mm harpies or similar.
-
Like them, especially the mutants!
-
More today, Asgard and Ral Partha! I've said elsewhere, I'm not a big fan of blood effects, but it sounded like a fun excuse here.
-
Not sure which one is my favorite: the
harpies faeries are brilliant, but that purple sorcerer is ace. Very creepy)in a good sense) shield design!
-
Thanks DivisMal!
Some 15mm (18mm from Eureka) today. I tried a different scheme for the orc steed to what I've used before.
-
10mm Eureka again used as 15mm!
-
More Eureka 18mm/15mm
-
Great Additions as always! Love the rusty knights :-*
Just out of intrest what base size do you use?
-

Thanks! 20mm for my 15mm infantry, 20x40mm for cavalry.
-
Some old pics of a one page rules game. It's inspired me to try some more solo games!
-
Going to try another solo game of Age of Fantasy.
-
I love 15mm fanatsy and have a couple of thousand in my collection of various races.
-
More 10mm Eureka beastmen with Warhammer friend for scale
-
Grumpy Miniatures 15mm added to existing models today
-
10mm Eureka, based on 20mm. Rebased from rounds, sadly you can tell!
-
As always lovley additions!
-
More Eureka 18mm/15mm
How did you achieve the rust effect?
They look very cool
-
Thanks kind words again!
How did you achieve the rust effect?
Easy one - black undercoat, drybrush reddish brown, drybrush orange, drybrush metal!
Orc rider added today:
-
I really like the colour schemes on those orc riding beasts
-
I really like the colour schemes on those orc riding beasts
Thanks! Tried a few "realistic" animal prints, but went with bright colours.
Today some Eureka 18mm trolls, here with 1/72 uruks, 28mm goblins and 18mm orcs.
I think they'd make good armoured goblins in 28mm...
-
10mm dryads today. Cheating since they're so quick to paint, now I want an army!
-
Cool additions! Go for the army :D
-
Some more beastmen, I love the shaman model so I bought six...
Very nice, I've been looking for a beastman shaman. Can't seem to find him though?
-
Cool additions! Go for the army :D
Haha yes, next order with them I will!
Very nice, I've been looking for a beastman shaman. Can't seem to find him though?
I think it's one of their models they really only sell in person I bought a handful of these and some leaders that usually come one in a pack when I had the chance. I'd say email them if interested!
-

Thanks I will, when you say leaders, do you mean more Beastmen not on their site? I'd be interested in seeing them
-

This one in the middle, sold as beast lord with the ogre beasts pack. The ogre beasts name put me off for years, not realising they're basically just slightly large for 10mm beastmen!
https://www.eurekamin.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=87_100_101&products_id=9802
-
Nice work on those.
-
Very cool, now on my list
-
The Dryads came out very well.
-
Thanks everyone!
Today, some timber screw cover buttons for some weird mushrooms!
-
The more I follow this thread, the more I'm convinced I went into the wrong scale. 15-18mm really seems to be the sweet spot.
Also those mushrooms from the screw tops are absolutely genius, will definitely be stealing that idea.
-
Two little "rules testing" armies lined up.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm finding it my favourite scale for actually finishing units. 28/25mm will always be my first love, but more for display.
-
I resisted for so long not to buy some Eureka for the lead pile…. But you did it, I’m weak lol
Great and inspiring force you got. Love the man orcs as Chaos Warriors 8)
-
I've been wondering about using the manorcs as Ogres in 10mm

What rules are planned?

Yeah Eureka, so can get from Australia, UK or US:

I'm thrilled you said Vampire knights, that's what I originally meant them to be, before deciding on painting chaos/Khorne symbols! I might still do some.
-

I should get a commission...

Half the fun of smaller scales, mix and match. These are on 20mm square if that helps.

Runestar D12, indie set on wargamevault. We'll see how it goes, a bit different but looked good from a read through!

For anyone wondering:
https://www.wargamevault.com/m/product/446517
I played out the first turn solo tonight. Quick thoughts, I need a bigger set-up, I have a 3' x 3' folding table for small games, I'd like a second to have 3' x 6'.
I statted up some units based on the army lists, sticking to basic infantry, missile, heavy infantry and light/med cavalry. No leaders, no magic, since I really just want to get my head around combat and morale.
Reading through, everything made sense. Any questions answered by the next page. Morale is more than just keeping track and then suddenly removed from the tabke. Not many counters needed to keep track of anything.
Individual figure removal (which I appreciate is make or break for some people). D12 roll against stats, easy modifiers. Fairly lethal! Generally two ranks fighting/shooting. Movement fairly forgiving, but positioning important.
Nothing really gimmicky or gamey. Rules are interesting... nothing that screams amazingly innovative or out there, but not always the usual "roll D6, hit on 4+" flavourless if that makes sense. Beware, "ranks" are multiples of the minimum unit size, not rows in a unit, so whfb players might have to read it again!
Magic sounds lots of fun. Cards drawn, you create spells with a beginning and end, adding cards in the middle. Some real "meaningful decisions" it sounds like. You need to print a set for each caster. Something I usually hate, but I'm willing to try it.
The units I used were a bit small. Once they hit below minimum size (infantry 5ea, cavalry 4e for example) they become lose formation. I'll bump them up and play again!
-
Sounds interesting. I think I put it on my list. (Got a small rule collection addiction)

So 20+ minis or even more per unit?

20 for infantry, 12 for cavalry sound about right, but you can go up and down.
-
Some little palisades made from balsa wood dowel and some scraps. I'll use them for 10 and 15mm, but they might be useful for adding to 28mm terrain as well.
-
Looks good, I need to knock something similar up for 10mm
-
Simple, effective, pleasing to the eye.
Can't ask more from terrain.
-

Thank you!
Also nice palisades.
-
They are man orc (18mm) from eureka. „Uruks“ ;)
Wow! I see it now. Well done
-
Thanks again everyone!
Some 10mm frogs from Eureka
(I bought these in person, I don't think they have them online)
-
Flagellants today! My, what big feet you have
-
I got some mdf mantlets half price. I'm so late to mdf terrain, but I like the simplicity. Since they're so basic, I'm happy just painting them black and drybrushing two browns.
-
Love your 15mm.
15mm is the best scale for fantasy mass battle
-
1/72 plastic roman ballistas, very cheap and look decent for 15mm!
Love your 15mm.
15mm is the best scale for fantasy mass battle
Thanks! Yes, I think it's the best compromise of all sizes
-
I really like the chaos guys and have been wondering if they'd work as 10mm armoured ogres
-
I added a few more Eureka elf swordsmen. These just may he my favourite range...

They probably would. (These are on 20mm squares if that helps to size them)
-
Love the forestry / woody bases - very suitable for these troops.
-
Some finished yesterday
-
Good Uruks
-
that purple and bronze goes really well on those models.
Lovely looking force coming along, can't wait for a full army shot
-
Thanks again for kind comments!
Just some more 1/72 today
-
Love to see some Jackson style Uruks painted up- you’ve done a cracking job with them, they look very suitably grimy and horrible ;)
-
20 for infantry, 12 for cavalry sound about right, but you can go up and down.
Kudos taking a chance on Runestar D12 and getting a game in. Really digging your miniature collection, I do a similar aesthetic :)
I usually run shieldwalls at 25 infantry. If you really want them to hold the line give them full command and a hero for that vital +1 morale bonus.
For shock infantry (great weapons, etc) units of 10 can be nasty as flankers (remember that enemies have to fight forward before they can fight sideways). Fighting in two ranks every turn, great weapons can devastate even the most powerful foe.
For cavalry it depends - a small unit (8-12) can outflank an enemy you have pinned down with your infantry, but a larger unit (16-20) with full command can really dominate a battleline and can even take a few charges. Generally speaking head-on cavalry charges will get bogged down; they do much better with a support unit flanking the enemy and forcing morale tests. In one game a humble unit of ten spearmen flanked an enemy block, forced them to test, pushed them back and allowed my shock cavalry to charge again and get strength bonuses.
Runestar D12 is all about grinding the enemy down - once you fall below one rank you are effectively toast!
p.s. The Rune Magick system is really the best thing about the game! Definitely where most of the innovation can be found :P
-
beautiful! Would be awesome to see more 1/72 from you :-*

Thanks! I only get to play solo, hopefully I get a chance to play more than just a test game soon.
One thing I would have loved to see is a generic army list. Something like levy, trained and elite for infantry, missile and cavalry.
I really respect the idea of an existing setting and armies, but I do like to just pick a couple of forces based on what I have painted when trying a new game.

Brilliant idea on the Generic list for tutorials, etc!
This is compiled from stats in the rulebook. Is this any use? Add or subtract any other stuff?

Perfect, thank you! Things like light/heavy chariots or war machines could be found easily enough from other lists.
-
Mixture of eras, so they'll go in my fantasy armies!
-
It's uncanny how similar our styles are :)
Do you do pics with backdrops too? Like some kind of diorama?
p.s. please remember to rate Runestar if you get a chance to!
-
Just a favourite photo today.

Thanks, I do like the photos in your rules. I'll rate when I get a chance to play another game.
No backdrops, I really should try.
-
Skaven plague monks today. I have a decent amount of these, but I keep changing colour schemes!
-
Love me some skaven. The scheme looks great!
-
Skaven plague monks today. I have a decent amount of these, but I keep changing colour schemes!

And for skaven a constant colour sceme change is only a positive
-
wow your 1/72 figures are awesome! Would like to see more of them o_o
-
Your plague monks look fantastic!
-
Thanks all for the kind words, I really like the skaven Pestilens models!
10mm today. My first ever 3d printed models, from an Australian printer.
-
Nice and funny :)
Good idea to mix several scales, periods, manufacturers... that's the power of Fantasy!
-
Back to bigger models today, some orcs from Highlands miniatures. Heavy on washes, I think I'll switch back to black and drybrush just for the speed of it.
-
Some more 10mm. Space and cost are an issue for me at the moment, so I'm trying the Minihammer approach of scaling down games with individual 10mm models.
-
Great idea! Minihammer is fun and saves a lot of space and money!
-
My friend and I have been playing minihammer for a number of years using Warmaster (cut up individually) and pendragon (various others) individually based and I really love it. 3D printing has only made this easier and given more range. I love the fact that at this scale cavalry can manoeuvre and flank even on a small table.

Oathmark is also a fun set of rules to try

When I was still living in Berlin, a colleague from work and I did the same. Minihammer is the way to go!
-
Thanks all! Yes, the scale is economical and for once I might have proper cavalry manoeuvres.
-
They look great :)
-
Great figures.
I assume if you like Warhammer as a ruleset then going with Minihammer makes sense - but as big as a 10mm advocate that I am - I’m not sure that I’d really want to play with single based 10mm units.
I’d have a look at either Warmaster as it’s designed with 10mm figures in mined, or any of the unit based games such as KoW and work out an appropriate scaling mechanism for 28mm down to 10mm. We used to play KoW with pretty much full sized 28mm unit bases, packed with 10mm figures (IIRC it was 2 Warmaster units to make a KoW unit). But you could down size the units by whatever movement scale factor you are using (eg inches to cm) and use smaller units.

Oh dear, no. I've been a fan of Warmaster since it was released, it's the exact opposite of what I'm after for the project. If anything, I'd scale it down again and finish my 2mm Warmaster project using Irregular miniatures.
Kings of War (and Mantic in general) I'm not into at all despite my name in the 2nd edition book as a backer and owning a few armies of their models.
These figures themselves will be used in solo tests of Spears of Valour, Fights of Fantasy and maybe a few other indie or lesser known games. Surely something from Nordic Weasel and occasionally I read the 2nd edition battlesystem rules and want to try them!
Minihammer/Warhammer connection and individual basing is more me wanting to feel I've finished a Warhammer style army. I have small forces for every WHFB army, but nothing finished. Completing some units in 10mm scratches that itch.
-
Squig hoppers today
-
Little beauties!
-
Dubbya - Love those little hoppers - your robe choice for the gobbo’s work really well.
Fred - once you have movement trays it all becomes pretty easy (originally we had them on 10x10mm magnets with metal trays but we’ve migrated to mdf bases and trays - bases from Warbases, trays by my talented friend).
Inspiring work Dubbya - just made me spend an evening staring at my 10mm mountain……..

Thanks for kinds words again!
(And get painting, Andrew!)
Up to 12 pestigor now:
-
Some more paper! I'm increasingly interested in paper for actual (solo) playing.
-
Highlands Miniatures orc today. I'm trying a really quick style.
-
Looks quite good to me, especially if it was done quickly. A large unit or mob in that style would be great on the tabletop.
-
Thanks! Hopefully more soon.
First, some more 10mm. Chaos dwarfs, I wanted to try some very bright, 90s red!
-
I like them! We need more colorful nostalgia about the good old days of goblin green bases.
-
10mm Nurgle beastmen. I never end up finishing larger models in 28mm, so it's nice to have a painted chariot for a change.
-
It‘s also my personal bane, never to finish anything in „large“ scales. So good that we have 10-15mm!
The chariot looks fantastic! What do you intend to play? Warhammer?
And what do you use for basing?
-
Like that chariot - and the infantry behind it. Very nice painting style.
-
Looks great :)
-
Those do look good, in a grungy, poxed sort of way! 10mm definitely gives a great mass battle feel.
-
Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Here are some of the upcoming Hawkmoon Granbretan range from Eureka.
The chariot looks fantastic! What do you intend to play? Warhammer?
And what do you use for basing?
Oh sorry, missed this! Basing I simply sand, brown drybrush over black. I use black ink to both paint and hold it together stronger than the PVA alone.
Games I'm trying various indy games and warhammer derivatives!
-
And a couple of pics I thought I posted here already:
-
I like the idea with the brightly colored heads. Gives a nice focus for the models!
-
Elves (and 28mm pixies) today
I like the idea with the brightly colored heads. Gives a nice focus for the models!
Thanks! I'm not the most experienced with the lore, but I've seen the different orders have different colours. Rather than the whole.model, I've gone for helmets and banners.
-
28mm Highlands miniatures orcs. I've tried a few painting schemes, I'm finally happy with these! Somewhat quick, but lots of washes since they're big models!
-
Very nice, and now you’ve got me investigating Highland mini’s Orcs for my AHQ revival.
Andrew
BeneathALeadMountain
-
Thanks! They'd suit, good modern update to GW orcs.
Some more, and doubling up as ogres in 1/72
-
Some night goblins finished today. Ebay rescues!
-
Love the orc/ogres from highlands and those night-goblin rescues. They look great!
-
Thanks again!
Here's some ancient Chinese from Eureka. I really like these models, but the detail can be rough, faces in particular.
This isn't a Eureka Miniatures thing, more the sculpts/acquired ranges I think. Compare these to the casts of Eureka's chaos fantasy or Moorcock ranges and there's no comparison.
Similar to their Portuguese & Conquistadors, I really like the overall look enough to paint them.
-
Some of my Eureka Granbretan with Paperboys terrain
-
Flame Lance armed Granbretans from Eureka today.
-
I thought I posted these already, but no.
-
Some more Paperboys terrain. Enough to be useful in a game now!
-
Great stuff, very eclectic!
The paper terrain works well - probably because it has nicely varied art work on it.
-
I'm trying some lighter bases... I started to feel dark brown for smaller miniatures all looks the same and kind of hides the model itself if that makes sense. Especially darker paint schemes.
-
Some more basing today
-
For my basing I have settled on round bases of various sizes with black and grey drybrushed textured bases with either back or dark grey edges for my sci-fi stuff and
square bases of various sizes with black and brown drybrushed textured bases with brown edges for my fantasy/historical stuff.
There is some wriggle-room with this system, i.e. Space Marine bikes on rectangular bases but black/grey and chaos hounds also on rectangular bases with black/brown.
Shows the start of my hobby with GW I`m pretty sure lol
-
Back to 28mm today, more Eureka Miniatures Chinese.
Made-up colour schemes, they're fantasy, not historical!

Single pose figures, for some reason I find them relaxing.
I seem to paint them in between much newer figures as a pallet cleanser.

With all the talk of RAFM going under, here's a hippogryph, painted about 10 years ago but is one of my first "big monster" models. Actually it was.my brother's, used in Warhammer!
It's interesting to see what different supplier's models ended up in my collection. Australia in the 90s, I'd collect citadel for my Warhammer armies, but supplement them with monsters and characters from other suppliers since it was so much cheaper!
-
Good job on that hippogriff! The eyes turned out especially well, and the feathers.
Your situation for collecting figures in Australia sounds similar to what I faced living in a smaller community in Canada - not much available locally for figures. In the 1980s there were no shops nearby that focused on games, so we got by on whatever we could find in the toy stores and hobby shops that had a rack or two of “D&D” figures. Limited is an understatement, so a variety of stuff ended up on the game table. We still had fun, though!

Hi all, and thanks Pattus Magnus for the kind words earlier!
Some 15mm/18mm Eureka uruks today. They're going to be used as vampire troops. Armoured are actual vampires, unarmoured are less fortunate thralls.
Hope you like!

Great stuff on this thread! Are those Eureka guys with the wolf/dog helmets a few posts back 28mm or smaller?
Thanks!

These are 18mm. From Eureka, designed by Maceface Miniatures. Eureka had 28mm Moorcock, but it seems they don't list them any more. I'm concerned enough I'll email them, I had a few over the years.
These 18mm are on 15mm square bases if that helps.

Thanks! Too bad for me- I can't open the floodgates to another scale, but great work on those small minis!

Eureka snakeman cavalry. I tried earth tones instead of bright colours to make them different to my lizardmen.

That is one crazy sculpt! A snake with a lance on a platypus...
-
I added some colour to snake boy, I'm happy with this scheme now. The same goes for the lizardmen.

Lots of fun! I have just the one, I'll need to buy more.

That extra bit of colour on the stripes works

Here's some recently finished 10mm models. I'm really loving the scale, hopefully I don't regret individually basing!
-
Great work!
I wouldn't worry about individually basing models- you can always create a temporary multi-base for any particular ruleset with thin card and some sticky stuff (hot glue, blu-tack, etc.).
-
I echo Frugalmax - first of all really great work. I’d definitely keep individually basing them as you can always get some movement trays (I have some and they work just like 28mm would) or tack them to something.

Thanks guys!
Oh yeah, of course I'll use trays or temp bases if needed. I'm more referring to the fact I always regret how I base models! Half of these were on 20 x 20 x3mm originally, now 10 x 10 x 1.6mm!

Every time I base something I have that worry lol They’re the same bases I use (Warbases minihammer range) as they’re half size and we use them in WHFB 3rd Ed at 1/2 scale. For some big units I have some multi based fillers (often when I couldn’t cut the warmaster strip down to individuals) much like people used to in 25mm Fantasy when I played (my reference point is stuck around the late 80’s to early 90’s :D ). The good thing about the individual bases is that I can use them in a travel skirmish set for Thud & Blunder and they take up less room than the rule book.
I play 15mm WW2 individually based and have never had a problem with troops being slow to move or particularly fiddly - unless it’s for a specific game (that I know I’ll never use the minis for anything else) I’d generally choose individual basing.
Great to see another 10mm fantasy collection (especially as yours is being painted unlike mine).

Thanks by the way, Andrew!
Some more 10mm today. I bought a ton from Eureka at a recent show, lots to get through.

Wow! Impressive!
