Looks really nice. I have always wondered what large games with small figure counts and large figures would look like. |

Impressive. Really quite beautiful! |

Reminds me of the Sweet brothers AWI games. They were a great inspiration to me back in the early days! Terry |

Nice stuff. Have you seen HaT's crowdfunding for Austrian infantry in 54mm. Any use? |

Great looking game, and in 54 (great eye candy!) that much better. Thanks for so many pics. As 54's are not my game/painting scale, (the unsteady hands show enough slips in 28) Im curious, these were plastic miniatures right?
Does anyone even still make the 'old traditional' metal 54s by chance? |

Sure, there are still firms making metal 54mm figures. We sometimes use metal figures for generals or a limit number of cavalry. But making whole armies in 54mm metal would be to expensive, and… much to heavy for the storage racks. The last decades, a number of firms started 54mm plastic ranges (Hät, Italery, Victrix, TSSD, Steve Weston, CTS, Expedionary Force, Armies in Plastic, A call To Arms, Conte, Barzso,…and reruns from figures of the 70s from Arfix, Timpo,…) But not all are available for a long period. So sometimes, converting is the only option. But wargaming in 54mm is on the rise. |

Oh whole heartedly agree. It was just a curiousity question. Thanks. Personally, I prefer plastic by far no matter the period. In fact, "lugging lead" is what finaly drove me Out of playing 40K. I had and loved my Eldar army. But it just got tiresome to carry around (the only plastic Inf. were Space Marines then). |
