Hold on a minute, you’re giving your High Elves round bases! How are you going to use them in Fantasy? War of the Ring Movement Trays?
Movement trays if necessary. They will be subbing in as Freeguild guard (Spearmen) and some other Archer unit (archers)
Vive l’Empreur! They look like the Italeri ones, they generally make nice figures. I also love my 1/72 figures, and will get round to painting some of my ancients at some point in preparation for getting the Hail Caesar rules. Are you thinking of using your French in Black Powder or another ruleset?
Local group is primarily going to play BP 2, but we are also hemming and hawing over field of glory napoleon
Might be worth playing both to see which ruleset your group likes best. Regardless, using 1:72 figures over 28mm certainly allows you to field larger armies in a smaller space, and I’m certainly all for it. The Warlord plastics are great, and I’ve got some I’m going to use in their ancients skirmish game SPQR, but for larger games around the sizes Hail Caesar and Black Powder cater for, 1:72 figures are both cheaper to buy and easier to batch paint in larger units.
They are on 40mm squares, and the basing material is Vallejo earth texture with a drybrush of Vallejo off white after it's dried. The texture is great stuff, and you get more than an army's worth for the price Great
Next up on the docket: 4 blood warriors on commission, a metal high elf archers musician from the days of yore, and a greatsword conversion.
A friend generously printed me a couple chimerae and a repulsor. I built one last night. And 20 bucks got me the 4 boxes from Russia with love
