Thanks all for your very kind welcomes!

fred – oh yes, it's my first time really getting into small scale, and after a lot of browsing across the internet it was what great justice so many have done the range, and the variety of poses and troop types that sealed the deal of using Pendraken 10s rather than another manufacturer or 6mm.
Comitatus doesn't have a fixed scale and I will report back once I've tried it, but seems like it should happily work from skirmish to Strasbourg, although I may need to trim down the command system for the former.


Leman – thank you, I'm aware of Dux Britaniarum, and will be sure to try it at some point; I understand that 20mm² bases can work for it, is that correct? Fantastic looking Sassanids, can't wait to check out those sculpts too

Zippee – Southeast Landan

d Guy – I, ofc, meant Londinium

Westmarcher – Thanks and absolutely, Latin was a second language for him.

ianrs54 – thanks, just getting back into wargaming, any recommendations for 10mm in London or the Southeast?

Lord Kermit of Birkenhead

No - but there are several clubs in the London area, I'd look up one of those. Be  prepared to try different periods and scales before you buy anything, see what you like.

Lots of clubs in the London area.

Unfortunately I'm East London - so there's a river in the way which makes travel hard but not impossible - one of my mates regularly comes up from SE23 for instance but the tunnels are a limiting factor!

The obvious big clubs for you would be South East London Wargames (SELWG) or South London Warlords (Salute) - so much depends upon location  :D

Orcs

Welcome to the forum.

There used to be a fairly robust club in Ilford.

They certainly used to do an annual show.

The Ilford boys are still active. Shout if you need a contact.

Welcome. Late Roman I'd an era I intend to try out one day, but being hugely interested in the career of Flavius Aetius I'll probably go for Patrician army. Eventually.
