 Thank you for the add to the forum.   I am really looking forward to painting up my first Pendraken figures soon Early WW1 British and Germans.    I am looking to make 10mm my go to scale for many of the periods I am interested in.  Such as WW1, ACW, AWI, Ancient and Medieval and Fantasy.  Rule sets I enjoy are  BKC2, KoW and Maurice

You've left out only about two centuries of the five thousand or so of human history. Why not get the whole set?

Welcome aboard.

Hi GreatBrush,

welcome to the forum. It is by turns weird, wonderful, welcoming and wise*. There are those with much knowledge to share on particular historical periods, painting techniques, rulesets and more besides. I've found it a very pleasant place to spend time and hope you enjoy your time here as much as I have.

*Did I mention weird? :)

Welcome GB; 10mm does supply some excellent gaming opportunities, e.g. I currently use 10mm early WWI for Square Bashing.

Hail Great Brush!

Sweeping statements from you there.

I won't pan your choices but you've left yards of really good stuff out of your list. WWII and post war for example. We're building up nicely with some post war stuff - Ferrets and the Centurion Bridgelayer - and we've been promised Foxes as well.

Anyway, welcome and enjoy!

Welcome GreatBrush

Many, many moons ago I spent 6 weeks at the British Army Training Unit Suffield, Alberta. Flew from Germany via Ganda, Newfoundland. Only to find out after about a week that I had chickenpox and spent a further week in isolation in hospital as the army was terrified that I would infect the 600 man battle group that they had sent out there at great expense. Still had a great time afterward in Calgary and then went up to Jasper and down the Rockies into Montana. Very fond memories.

Cheers and welcome again, Paul
