The one with the 1mm villages for 2mm wargaming.

I need terrain for my 2mm-project that spans several periods, from some non-descript early 18th century to lateish Victorian Sci-Fi and possibly beyond. Thankfully the scale lends itself quite well to proxying of models and terrain, which in the end means that it's not really that big of an issue if you have gothic windows on townhouses or napoelonic infantry for the Great Nordic War. The purist (hah) in me cringes at that last sentence, but in all honesty... It's all about abstraction and "tell-don't-show" in my take for the smaller scales. There is an argument to be made on either side of that statement but in the end;
If we as a wargamingcommunity are fine with 24-48 models representing a brigade of soldiers, there are few arguments to be made against red-painted 2mm infantry representing brits, danes or whatever depending on what era you put them in. (Again, a small hit of cringe here.)

Ranting aside, here are some BUA's for my foray into 2mm. The buildings are from Iliada Game Studio that runs a very affordable patreon which produces 2/3/6mm stuff for a variety of settings. I highly recommend you check them out! What caught my eye was the excellent armies that draws heavy inspiration from War of the Worlds mixed with Victorian Steam Punk. This means martian walkers, a human army with infantry, landships, artillery, cavalry and even a 'UGE airship! 
They will be a project in the somewhat near future for me, once the paintingtable gets cleared out a bit more.

The buildings used to make the BUAs are remixed onto bases together with some trees, bushes and roads and finally rescaled to 1mm-scale. I believe it makes all the sense in the world to have the buildings downscaled in comparison to the models-scale in games where the figurescale is wonky. In my example for GNW Imagi-Nations it's gonna be somewhere around 1:10. As in; one model on the base represents about 10 guys. The size of the bases are 40*40mm, 30*25mm and 25*25mm

As always I went into TinyCAD to do the remix. It's easy to use and I don't have to figure out where to find stuff in other programs. One of these days tho.. Decided to slap some paint on a holiday-duck while painting the BUA's and since we have Cayuga ducks on the homestead I had to make this duck black aswell. In hindsight, Agrax was to heavy of a wash to lather the models with so I went in with some gobbo-green on the ground as a last step. Might go in with some highlights on the rest aswell later on but I think I will try to get a couple games in first. Most of the table is well on it's way in various stages of progress, and the main issue is flocking at this point. The fine flock I am using doesn't really want to cling to PVA or my trusted Limlakk. Gonna have to go in with a double whammy of IPA and PVA.

Stalk da ducky!

Smell da ducky!

Cheers!
