Title: 54 Victrix Napoleonic ?
Post by: Tim Haslam on November 19, 2015, 08:34:16 PM

I have a couple of boxes of this scale from Victrix, they are lovely.
What other manufacture will be compatible with these?

Any idea where I may get scenery in this scale?

Thanks

Tim, it depends on what you want to do, Peninsula or Waterloo style. HaT do some nice stuff in 1/32 plastics, French line, Prussians and Bavarians, and Wurtemburgers as well, and they are really well detailed figures. Call to Arms do some nice Napoleonics French and Brits, as well as artillery. There is quite a lot out there, enough to cover all arms. As for terrain, I found Last Valley trees and hedgerows very compatible in size, buildings are bit harder to come by and scratchbuilding would be the way to go, it's not as if you will need a lot. PM me if you want some tips re scratchbuilding buildings I have a few thoughts I would be happy to share. But it is a great size to fight skirmishes in, whatever the period. And not really any more expensive than doing it in 28mm. The added bonus, as one gets older, is that they are a lot kinder on the eyes when painting.
