Title: SYW 20mm
Post by: Lancer on February 17, 2012, 09:30:55 AM

Hi People, Just throwing this in the mixing pot and looking for feedback. I own Lancer miniatures doing WW1 in 20mm but I have been chatting to my sculptor about maybe doing SYW as well. Its favourite of mine and there doesnt seem to be any other good 20mm ones around. I had huge front rank armies but the amount of table space needed and carrying a thousand figures down the club was painful meant they wasnt used much, in fact about once a year. I dont like 15mm, its too small for me. So as I said just looking for some feedback.

Hi there, yes new about the metals, and plastics really dont do it for me, I will not be trying to match the style. The first of the greens should be appearing end of next month. :)
