Is there any size comparison pics for other ranges?  I see Kallistra has 10mm and also Magister Militum.  I think I saw it said that Kallistra is basically the same figures, but on strips.  Any pics of sizes for Magister Militum? They have 10mm & 15mm fantasy.
Magister has some Dwarf bear & ram cavalry.

Yeah the Kallistra fantasy are identical figures. MM 10mm are the same size as the, in my opinion better Pendraken figures but I have only seen the historical MM ones
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Here's my 2p's worth.

There are comparisons online: I recommend: eureka-10mm-fantasy-second-release-size-comparisons (have a look around the blog there are several).

The Kallistra models are big (12mm) and are the same casts as some of the PD ones (although this is changing as the Warband stuff comes online).

I happily use fantasy and historical stuff side by side though, works for me! ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Thanks. Ive seen some of the size comparisons here, but I cant find any of Magister Militum fantasy. They seem to have a pretty extensive fantasy range.

The MM 10mm fantasy hasn't been around too long, maybe  months to a year

As it currently stands.  Some has been around for a lot longer.

They are small, fat and a bit "cartoony" for my taste but each to their own. :)

Ok. I'll keep trying to see if anyone has pics.  Even their site only has a few pics, like one or a few guys for a thirty pack.  At worst I can order a pack or two and see if they fit in.

Hi Bloodaxe

Here there is a catalogue of 10mm figures. In page 1 there is Pendraken fantasy in page 3 there is pendraken historical. Maybe can inspire you to build a great warband force!

MM generally don't have a lot of variation to a pack. As said above their historical ranges have a distinct style to them, which some people really like, I don't mind, and others dislike.

Their fantasy range is recently very expanded, and is getting some more photos on their website, I have some and they are nice, but it is quite hard to work out what they all look like.

I went Magister Militum for the Dwarves of my Runic Order and wasn't disappointed; they're a bit smaller than the old Pendraken/Kallistra sculpts and as Gareth says there's not a lot of variation in sculpts by they're nice figures when painted. I'll see if I can get a piccy up of a few.

Sculpts are usually command group of musician/leader/standard and then two different troopers (eg axe and sword, or firing Xbow & loading Xbow).

I've also painted up a whole bunch of their Crimea Russians and they're actually pretty big - they don't seem out of scale anywhere specific but are just a big on the big side. There's some piccies of them on my Faceache page if that helps :)

Yeah! I'll try to find them. Maybe you can point them out for me? Any side by side size comparison with Pendraken?

Mine are now base up so it's a bit awkward but I'll see if I can get a decent shot with both in the next couple of days and bung it up :) It'll likely be next to the old Orcs :) I'll get my wolf rider orcs from Copplestone done as well, will give you a bit more comparison :)

Copplestone and Irregular Miniatures also have some 10mm fantasy, if you want to cast your net a bit wider.

Awesome, thanks. Finally some pics of some of the Pendraken range.
