AdeptiCon.
My preference is for all the models in my army to be of the same style and
scale. I think that goes for character models as well but maybe I'm not as
hard and fast on that as I am for units. Still certainly my default. Mike
at Relic is doing some fine work and his passion for what he is doing
certain shows in his work. It has been interesting to watch his progression
and improvement as a sculptor. Just wish it was 28mm and/or designed to
line up with an existing model range. However, I'll be getting one to add
to my collection and support his efforts once the AdeptiCon madness is
over.
