I think 15mm is the best looking scale for CoC, but my main reason for choosing it is that I have lots of support options (transport, tanks, guns, etc.) and a good collection of terrain. 15mm is relatively cheap and fast to paint, but naturally lack the detail of larger scales. I'm painting some Battlefront USA Riflemen at the moment and they're taking paint well also.
15mm is exactly right for the groundscale in CoC, so the distances should be spot on, and as you know the figure scale is 1:1, so WYSIWYG realism all around. However, and a big, however, 15mm is a bit small for some tastes and older eyes. The Flames of War range get round this by exaggerating human features of their 15mm figures. 28mm is much better in terms of having figures with real character and artistic merit, but the AFVs and terrain are expensive and a nightmare to store. All in I find 20mm a happy medium: plentiful and cheap plastics, you can use HO and OO buildings and rolling stock, and many of us more mature types still have boxes of old Airfix stuff which can be reused.
15mm is a great scale. Great job!
Look class, would you recomend 15mm for this? I was going to go 20mm or 28mm.
