... If it important Les, yes, your calculations seem justified. I did count what I painted at one point but it gave the impression that I spent waaay too much...
I don't count anymore, I hide too many to consider risking a full out count! I increased my painting since entering a monthly comp with another yahoo group, an...
I count. Just painted figures. I count each figure painted, and a figure is a figure is a figure. A chariot is one, each horse and driver is one. I used to...
Below Message was originally posted by: cynewulf44, but accidently deleted by me (E.Hotz)... sorry about that. ... Yet another advantage of 6mm figures! As...
Back in 1998, I counted my unpainted figures. It was an incredibly depressing event! I still have the inventory around here somewhere, but I've never done it...

OK, time to stand up and be counted. Larry can't be the only one with the mad logic of today's cartoon. Have you ever decided to do the same army but in a...
Well, I haven't actually done that, but I have thought about it very seriously. I have Greek and Turkish armies in 28mm which have me commanding a battalion...
I don't have anything seriously awful to report . . .er sort of. I have 15mm and 25mm ACW figures. Painted, based, and everything. I haven't played with...
... Well...surely we've all done at least one period in different scales? Eg 6mm for epic scale battles and 25/8mm for skirmish games. I have certainly...
Well I do ancients (Punic Wars) in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm HO-1/72nd, 20mm and 25mm. In ACW I do 15mm, 25mm and resently moved over to 40mm Napoleonics: 15mm, 10mm and...
What does logic have to do with wargaming? Or any other obsession? (Said the guy with WW2 figures in his painting queue in 20mm, 15mm, and 6mm.) Joe...
I got rid of all my 1/285th WWII figs because I couldn't tell the difference between a Panzer IV and a Sherman at that scale. I have gone from 28mm fantasy...
Hello and happy new year to all my fellow wargamers. I saw the latest cartoon in which Larry comments on the finest painted army performing the worst. In my...
... No, can't agree. You build up your hopes so much with them that they never live up to expectations. the old scruffy units always come out on top. Graham...
I can not really second that, but that being said we only play with the minis I painted at our club these days and they are all painted to the same standard. ...
Well, just because you learned to paint better does not mean that you also put more love into them! :-P Cheers, Burkhard ... -- Visit our homepage at...
Nuts! Now you offer this piece of advise after I strip all the flaking paint jobs off my minis from 20 years ago. Now I'm worried that I won't win another game...
Erik, I am sorry to hear that although you might be better off (letīs at least hope so) since you are not changing them technically but only refurbishing...
... Don't get me wrong, it's not the quality of the paintjob that does the magic. it's the effort (or love as the saying goes)you put in to the unit to get 'm...

... can't say that that is the case with any of my armies. some units performed well and others poorly regardless of how well they were painted. back in the...
Unfortunately my time spent playing games does not come to even 25% of the amount of time I spend painting. I'm a very casual gamer, so its no surprise that...

" Armies perform about as they should over time.Those lumps of lead are mere captives of the dice." That's not a very romantic idea. It reduces wargaming to an...
