Interesting. I agree with you that the painting of 28mm can wear you down.

This might fit in with some thoughts some fellow games are having with Command and Colors.

Cheers,

I've started up 10mm to actually finish things and space, but I won't give up on 28mm. I'd recommend just painting your 2mm for awhile before doing anything rash that you may regret later. For sure that's something you can work out over time.
There is nothing to say you cannot do two scales especially as the smaller scales of 10mm or less do not take up much time or space which doesn't force you into a dramatic decision of either this or that.
Best of luck.

Why not take stock of this tomorrow. I'm sure things will feel different on the 2nd April ;)

Although I do see the appeal of 2mm armies - one day I shall do some myself. 28mm? Can't see it happening. I've done a couple of HOTT armies and really didn't enjoy painting them.

I've been going the other direction, moving from smaller scales to 28mm. As my eyes start to fail they're more enjoyable to paint and to play with.

Sorry guys, I do like the 2 mill minis, but I'd rather chew my arm off, than part with my 28's! ;-)

LoL! Good one! Glad to hear your just expanding scales rather then giving one up for the other.:-)

6mm is a better scale I think. You can make out the individual units but still get mass effect.

Hi Phil, I prefer the 2mm cast pike blocks to 6mm, no bendy pikes to fret about, and so quick to paint.

Hahahaha.....28s for me as well, I do like the small stuff and it certainly looks more realistic but it's hard to break from the detail of 28s and the painting aspect that goes along with the scale.

Good one!! I'm glad it was a joke.

Impressive, they are so little. I love that scale for VSF games, Aeronef and Land Ironclads games.

Cheers.
