Hello all,

First time Pendraken customer with an altered Late Roman army on the way to me. I'm going to try Dux Bellorum and Simon MacDowall's Comitatus rules. Really excited to try 10mm properly, which I've long wanted to do :)

Welcome - the Late Roman figures are some great little sculpts - you should get a good looking army from them. They also have a nice mix of lots of armour, so quick to paint, and interesting shield designs to add colour and uniformity to units.

Several people round here have done 10mm Dux B, usually basing several 10mm figures on a 25mm (or so) base, to give the same unit foot print as 28mm, but with more figures.

I don't know the Comitatus rules - what sort of scale of game are they for?

Welcome AM. I think what has been mentioned is Dux Brittaniarum by the Lardies, like this.





For Dux Bellorum I would recommend the 60mm frontage base. This is how I have done my Sassanids.

A very warm welcome to the madhouse forum, AM.

Ignore the way that threads get 'hijacked' a lot of the time.....There really is a lot of very useful and helpful information to be had here.  :)

Cheers - Phil

Salve, Ammianus!   :-h

(or should it be, "Γεια σας, Αμμιανός" coz I understand Ammianus Marcellinus was a Greek?)    :-B
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
