      The pieces are fantastic.
      Good luck Johnny.

      As a gamer I can tell you now that table would be a nightmare to play on. Yeah it looks stunning but wargaming tables need to be relatively flat to be able to get the models to actually stand up. You would spend half the time trying to your models to not fall over and this would be even worse for games that need the models to be ranked up like classic Warhammer or Kings of War or historical games like Hail Caesar or Napoleonics. It would work as a skirmish table but anything more than that it is completely impractical.
