Hello! After receiving a sample pack I have just finished painting my first two units and a little bit of home made 10mm terrain. Absolutely love the new scale (sharp practice 28mm before this) I'm building toward playing General D'Armee mainly because I have a 3'by6' table and don't have room for bigger battles. Is it possible for me to post pics of my efforts? I am using an I-phone but also have laptop access. A bit of a technophobe 🙄 -Cheers everyone!

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!

Welcome Mr Gamer.

Indeed, 10mm is a very lovely scale, and Pendraken are very lovely figures.

I take it you're a gentleman of a Napoleonic bent? If so, doubly welcome. Which nation do you favour? Which front? Which era?

I look forward to seeing your photos.

Yes indeed it's THE era of interest for me! I was very close to going down the Peninsular route, but the 100 days meant Brunswick (hopefully released soon!) to go along with the Brits as well as Curassier and Lancer cav for the French- I couldn't resist! I had the same plan for 28mm but I just can't fit the amount of Miniatures I would need to include all of those units at that scale. So glad with 10mm though. It just makes sense. Will still be playing Sharp Practice with my Perry collection but all new minis will be Pendraken I think, had a ball painting those up and it only took a quiet weekend to do everything in the flickr photos. What a joy!
What is your particular hobby project at the moment?

A very warm welcome MA !

Very nice work on those figures.  :-bd

Nice photos - typical cowardly redcoats hiding behind hedges!

Hi Zipee!
I'm E11, love your French, what system do you game? You lost me with BB code, I have been using the mobile app- is it easier to find via Flickr website? Cheers for the help!
