I picked th't subject for one re'son no nit-picking on the color scheme .

 

[Kevtk135]

I clicked Sci/Fi and Fantasy because most of mine are that. But I'm drawn more to the figure's sculpting and dynamic pose. So if there's a Roman or Hoplite that looks awesome I'll get it as fast as I would a Wild West guy, a WW1 pilot or even an Troll or Orc.
I'm also drawn to real people. I'd buy a Wyatt Earp or Winston Churchill before I'd get a nondescript pirate...

I could definitely vote 5 or 6 options but only one is valid, anyway I think that each painter goes through different stages over the years.

AWI, I wish there were more figures available in this period. Lots of awesome Napoleonic figures and vignettes but so far I just cant get into it....yet

 

[alecs00]

Knights are just the coolest

I don't want to unduly influence any voting, but if anyone else votes WW2 me and the others in the bearskin and shako corner will shove our sabretaches up yer Waffenbarbe baby.

Lately I like more and more Fantasy&Sci-fi, just beacause...well, I'm not restricted to follow historical accuracy

Does anyone happen to know of a good place to purchase miniatures in the 25 to 28mm scale? I am trying to find a place that is cheap but not bad quality.

Hi,
Resurrecting an old thread is probably not the best way to ask this question especially as it's not really relevant to the original thread. Better to start a new thread.

For 25mm you can look at plastic soldier review. They've reviewed most soft plastic sets so that should give you an idea of what you might want to look for.
For 28mm, have a look at Perry Miniatures. They have quite a few plastic and metal figures.

Cheers,
Andrew

Prehistorics for me! I voted Dark Ages ´cos that´s where I´m from.

[clubcat]

ooh that was difficult to choose. I cut my teeth on Napoleonics as I loved the uniforms and this era of history, however, over time one looks at other periods of history and sees similar flamboyance in these too (eg landsknecht and SYW) so I guess my answer would have been C15 -C19 with a bit a fantasy too.
