Welcome Alex,

There are a number of useful threads on AWI. A search of the forum for AWI will give you plenty of places to start.

This thread http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,560.0.html will provide some initial inspiration or dispare depending on your current painting level.

Feel free to ask questions,  the answers will be interesting and sometimes relevant

Anything by Dazza or Andymac will be serious inspiration.

Welcome on board.

Hi Alex

Welcome.

Hi Alec!

Lots of info here about both AWI and painting the smaller scales by people more knowledgeable about both than I am. However, I will say that when painting smaller scale figures you need a slightly lighter shade of whatever colour you're using than you'd use for 28mm.

As Paul said, feel free to ask questions. Surprisingly, given we are on the internet, the forum members are remarkably friendly and helpful!

Welcome to the rest home for the terminally bewildered.

Welcome Alex, or may I call you Mr Mc?

I too went from 20mm to 10mm. My first attempts were not successful. A pair of scissors and a box of Airfix does not compare favourably to the Pendraken offerings.

I'm not too up on the AWI. There weren't too many Centurions there were there? Still, if Cornwallis had had a squadron of Mk IIIs the Union Flag would still fly over Washington.

If the Mongols had been in the AWI I would be all over it, but sadly they did not so I can't help you either...but welcome anyway. In saying that, I am positive some of the more enlightened forum members will be able to pontificate at large on all aspects of the war.

Injuns ... they were Mongols weren't they?

Alexander...tough name for a wargamer to live up to. Like being called Ludwig as a musician.
