Love the paint work on the figures! Very impressive! Love the simpler table terrain, as well.
It seems as though people are heading towards more ultra-realistic terrain, and painting on their figures, along with photographic mats. It looks amazing, but it is not what I prefer for my gaming.
I like the simpler terrain, simpler painting, as I really enjoy the strategy, and the tactics, far more than the visual appeal. I have played with mini's painted by a professional painter, whose work graced figure makers' web sites… I cringed every time I picked up his figures, as I knew they would get damaged to some degree, with play, and I dreaded being responsible for that… They did, and so did I. Amazing to look at, but cringe-worthy to play with. He averaged 10-12 hours painting time, per figure. I don't know how many hours he spent making repairs, and touching up, after the games. YMMV.
Give me "old school" figures, and terrain, any day of the week! I prefer it. Cheers!
