Personally I like the look of the juxtapostion of the shiny Toy Soldiers with more realistic terrain. It's something Whiskey and I went for with the 54mm chaps. The "old school" terrain, whilst attractive, would require quite a commitment in building terms, as well as being limited in it's usefulness. The Old School ethos is satisfied with the look of the troops, and unit sizes and the rules in use. The more realistic terrain creates an attractive contrast and the two styles compliment each other.
Rules? You ask me what rules do I use. No, I don't do rules.

The beauty of using the 42mm chaps is that, although they don't have the Toy Soldier 'purity' of the 54mm ranges, most scenery, including buildings can be re purposed from 28mm.

That's all very grand and magnificent! But You need some lovely green plain boards for them! Do you want six de-towelled boards? They weigh 15 tons but would look great with a Dulux forest green...

You have to go full hog. This is Loose Ass where we take things much to far!

The whole 42mm thing has come together wonderfully. Well done.
