That looks great! Nice grouping of units. 10mm just looks great en masse, how can 28mm gamers get away with it?

Macro lenses?

When I first started wargaming I played with 20mm and I thought that was cramped. However people at the club play with 28mm figures wall to wall so to speak with absolutely no room for manoverablity. This exactly why I love 10mm so much

Either you're using a very short lens or the pictures on your wall are squint.

Macro lenses take ultra close-ups.

... but are the pictures on your wall squint? If not, then you're probably using a short lens.

Pretty. Soil in eastern SA is a lot redder, mind you. But I don't take that into account in my own basing, and I've lived there. By the way, Zulu students were most disappointing; they aren't all magnificent seven-foot-tall black Viking types.

Some of the older ones I saw were decidedly wizened.

hi there I totally agree with you about the soil being much redder but I'm kinda ignoring it so I dont have to change to much scenery.
