Title: Need help with a life changing decision!
Post by: thebinmann on May 11, 2014, 04:26:29 PM
Should I ditch al my 25mm and go for 15mm? For Pulp, Gothic Horror, Fantasy and Old Wes?

Why would you?

You have a great collection of 25/28mm figures that you have spent years accruing.

You would have to be mad to get rid of it all now.

Space and money... plus my ow is foundry 25mm so none of the new stuff matches!

I'd hold on to the Cthulhu stuff though!

If you have for instance Napoleonics or other historical armies this is a valid question as they can be swapped like for like but anything else, even in this magical age where you can get literally anything, is folly.

I will join the chorus of no's.

I wasn't talking magical age Svenn, you'd have first dibs on killing me and taking the lot if I ever do that...

Really I suppose it's OW that bugs me..

Absolutely not, unless you're willing to give them all away (to me ;-) ).

Honestly I love 15mm for anything above skirmish level. But that's the thing, everything your listing is in fact skirmish level gaming which IMHO is much better in 25mm+ sizes then in 15mm as you just don't get the detail you want for skirmish gaming at that size.

No, Nay, Never. :o :o :o
And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

Thankfully you weren't surrounded by a whole lot of 'yes' men.

So pleased to hear you have decided to keep them. A few years ago I sold two of my collections, BoB and LAM Russian PA, because I needed the money and had lost my painting mojo, have regretted it ever since.

Yes.

If you want to and/or find you must for reasons beyond your control.

But Be Sure you understand it isn't required you quit one to do the other.

Also understand you (90% likely at least) will not get your money back for the value of the figures/buildings/terrain.

While I am moving almost exclusively to 15/6/3 mm figures for retirement space limitations there are some things that are currently uniquely in one scale (my presidials and soldados de cuera for example in 28/25 mm) at this time.  If Khurasan (or other of like quality) ever makes presidials and soldados de cuera then they go in a heart beat...  but not until then.

Choose wisely and do not listen to the yammering masses for your own best interests.  Choose for the right reasons.

Gracias,

Glenn

Just their opposite numbers...
