Reply To: Why 6mm is God's own scale

I while ago, I decided that 28/32mm created massive tabletop experiences that few people actually had room for (myself included). I started moving to 20mm (15mm was just that bit too small, but 20mm fitted perfectly with Matchbox cars for scatter terrain). I really struggled to find decent ranges (apart from a few sculptors, a lot of 15mm/20mm stuff just looked like blobs stuck onto a pipecleaner body!).

Then I got a 3d resin printer. In theory, I could rescale anything down to 20mm if I wanted.

But I actually enjoy painting larger, heroic scale minis (32mm) more than 28mm – so I scale stuff up so I can enjoy painting it. I rarely game. But if I did, I’d be all over the smaller scales. I’m just not sure I can face re-printing and re-painting all the minis I’ve enjoyed doing over lockdown this year!
