Hi all,
Cavillarius here from Leuven in Belgium. I'm about to switch from 6mm Ancients (Baccus) to mostly Pendraken 10mm Colonials.
Hi, mind you do we want another foreigner ;)

Welcome to the forum, Cavillarius - from another foreigner. :)
I think you will find Pendraken's range and service nonpareil.
Isn't Belgium still in Europe?
We are all European then!
At least until Brexit.
A 'hello' from Bonnie Scotland.

Well, indeed! Both our online contact and the samples have been excellent so far.
Coming from 6mm, where scale creep is rife, I was pleasantly surprised to find that at least Old Glory and Pendraken are fully compatible. I'm still waiting for my sample batches from Magister Militum and Steve Barber. The bulk of my forces will come from our host, though!

Welcome To the forum Cavillarius
I have had problems with scale creep within the Magister Militum Early imperial roman range. The legionaries only came up to the armpits of the auxiliary archers. I don't know if it was just that pack or what, but I believe that some of thier rangers have more than one sculptor
Welcome Cavillarius !
Enjoy the friendship......and complete madness here......The forum members are a very knowledgeable bunch....and very willing to help.)
Cheers - Phil

Let's just agree that what unites us is that we all play with toy soldiers. That way we're at least inclusive of everyone!
;D

Welcome to the forum Cavillarius!
Pendraken are a great company to deal with.
The figures are gorgeous (and improving with every new range IMHO).
The members of the forum are well-read, well-intentioned and well weird :D
Today we are all Europeans.
Cavallarius, here are a couple old blog posts that show some 10mm figure comparisons:

I have just recently added some Lancer Miniatures that work well with Pendraken also.

Actually we will be Europeans ad infinitum, as will the Russians, Norwegians, Serbians, Swiss etc., whether or not we are in the Union. After all, much to a certain Mr.Trump's chagrin, Canadians and Mexicans are also Americans, just not citizens of the United States of that continent. Anyway, welcome from the forum's resident fan of Belgium - Hope Leuven is having better/calmer weather than us today.
Hi and welcome to the Forum!

Hello and welcome
What ho, Cavillarius!
You say "colonials". Here, that usually means Americans. I am guessing in your case not. Are you thinking Belgian Colonials?
Welcome.

.... Canadians and Mexicans are also Americans..
Technically North Americans but fair point.
Today we are all
Europeans Humans. Even the fantasy wargamers. ;)
Ah, no, sorry, I meant the British. Ill start at the NWF.
:-[
Fair enough.
Please post photos.
I consider myself immune to Colonials ... and photos would test my resolve.
Welcome on board :)

IMMUNE !!!!! =O =O =O =O =O RESOLVE !!!!! =O =O =O =O =O =O you might be able to spell the words, but you cannot use either in any sentence when referring to Frederick Simeon Nobbs and Pendraken products.
If Techno showed you some iron filings and told you they were maggots for the Pendraken Zoo you would have two packs!
I will as soon as I have some. At the moment I'm still a martyr to the lead piles: one 6mm Pontic army to finish and two massive 2mm 30 Years War armies (Spanish and 'Statish') to start on... Painting the latter feels a bit like painting licorice all-sorts (Engelse drop). Bit of a failed experiment maybe. ???
They can get done fairly fast, i know ididn't take that long:

just don't overdo it, most of the stuff won't be noticable anyway!
This whole dry brushing lark doesn't satisfy me one bit, but you're right: I could probably do all of that 2mm stuff in two nights. Oh well, once more onto the breach, I guess...
Welcome Cavillarius :-h
You appear to have settled in well already :)

It's playing with them afterwards that satisfies me :D

I've met at least one man from Buenos Aires who made a point of calling himself an American.
A martyr to Lead Piles - OUCH! :o

With all the 'Dremmeling' I'm doing, to prepare the little TB men and horses for Leon.....And another chap that Leon's put me in contact with (Different scale)....I've got SO much white metal 'dust' on the cutting mat......I reckon Nobby would accept that I've made a Biblical plague sized swarm of locusts !

What ... you mean they weren't? ... :o
And I paid the special price for them too. :o :o
And they came up lovely. :-[
I am now suspicious anout that packet of holes he sold me. :-\
That's why he's minted. ;)

Welcome to the forum, Cav. :-h God help you.
Thanks! I think the Good Lord had blessed me with the same warped sense of humor that seems to be so abundant here, so I'll be alright.
;D ;D ;D
Us ?......Warped ? :o
(Yeah....O.K......fair enough ! ;))
Cheers - Phil
But I can prove I'm sane, I have a certificate to prove it (thats a joke that only UK citizens will get)

That won't be worth a thing come March 2019. Well, not on the continent anyway...
:d
Ian would like to design a giant saw that could cut partly through the Earth's crust so that Britain could be repositioned much further out in the Atlantic. Won't bother with Northern Ireland - it's a massive pain in the arse and the Republic can have it any time it likes as far as I'm concerned.

Welcome to Penraken, you will enjoy these figures.

Thnx, I really hope so, because I ordered about 1000 of them...
