At Little Wars back in April, one of the more interesting vendors was PicoArmor, which specializes in 3mm figures. I do enjoy going small on occasion, so I picked up some of their WW2 tanks and Napoleonic figures. Today I finished painting and basing a company of Panthers.
Those are 2" square bases, roughly the same footprint as a 15mm tank model. This will make it impossible to see any tank parking lots on my table!
The tanks are recognizably Panthers, although I am not expert enough to tell at a glance that they are ausfuhrung A. I tried painting crosses and turret numbers, but the results are .... impressionistic.
Will these replace my 15mm armies? Probably not, but I liked these Panthers well enough to consider ordering more 3mm troops. I may try Sam Mustafa's "Rommel" with these.
This would be a good scale visually for Spearhead. Do you have Rommel rules?
ReplyDeleteI do have Rommel, and they seem like a decent set of rules.
DeleteMan they are seriously tiny. I've tried 1/300th in the past but never this small- they have their attraction though
ReplyDeleteI should probably get my hands on some GHQ micro armor to see how they compare, but I do like the 1/600 tanks.
