@danlee wow, that sounds awesome. Yet also the exact opposite to what I was looking for! I love the idea of a solo game, but something small and quick and snappy. Ideally with some RPG elements to it (some NPC interaction would also be nice) but ultimately something small (2ft square would be my ideal size) where I could spend an hour or two at most.
I love the idea of a larger “campaign” split over multiple chapters though.

@zoidpinhead I thought you’d made a typo! 2mm ? Two?!
I never really understood the whole “historical accuracy” in gaming – those guys who spend days hunting down just the right colour olive-drab-green for their tunics or whatever. Until I started really reading about Wild West characters (I always had a fascination with “cowboys” but actually learning about the history of these famous outlaws and heroes was great fun). Now when I paint wild west (especially named) characters, I want them to be as authentic as possible. I think I get it now!

I’m not a historicals guy, but Battlecat miniatures (https://www.myminifactory.com/users/BattleCatHistoricals) always had a nice consistent style. I don’t know how they fit in with the creators you mentioned, but they have a very “old school” vibe to their models (not the super-detailed, ultra realistic look that a lot of historical digital artists seem to go for these days).
