My second new platoon for Battlegroup Overlord, all AB Figures apart from two Foundry chaps with Panzerfausts…

Great job as per usual.

I'd say you've absolutely nailed the balance between accurate colours and the demands of the tabletop for 20mm – too 'right' and everything fades into blur – too exaggerated and it gets cartoonish.

In 15mm I think it's more difficult and the figures have to come out a bit over-shaded when looked at close. It is just the limitations of the scale.

Overall 20mm is my choice of the larger scales. Partly this is traditional – Airfix nostalgia and all that – but mostly it just works best.

For anything bigger than 2 platoons on a side I'd still go with 1/300th.
