Hi From Ottawa, Canada

Hi all,

Well I have never tried 10mm.  I picked up some Pendraken 10mm AWi on the spur of the moment recently.  Ok they were a steal.  So will give my hand at pianting them.  I have painted 28s, 15s and even 6 mm from Adler and Bachus.  Not a big fan of the 6mm, lose too much detail in my mind even though its like speed painting.  How else can you do 50 figures of 6mm to 1 28mm!!!

So I thought hmm, 10mm, nice figures plenty of detil should be a hoot!  If it works out then I would like to do ACW and Napoleonic next.

Oh and cheers all glad to join the forum.

Welcome to the forum

The Pendraken figures are very easy to paint and very addictive

Hope you have fun with them all

Hi Obsidian,

Welcome to the Forum. 

FK will get all excited in case your name reflects an interest in Meso-American ranges.

Hello Mr Canada, or may I call you Ottawa,?

I picked up some Pendraken 10mm AWi on the spur of the moment recently.  Ok they were a steal.

You stole them? I don't know if that's the kind of thing we should condone.

Welcome anyway, Mr Canada.

I came to Pendraken 10mm a few years ago, and now wouldn't go anywhere else. It's not just the fantastic figures at low, low prices, and the excellent service from Leon and his band on indentured family members, despite being based in Middle-borough. If you've never been to Middle-borough, remember all those post apocalyptic films of the '70s and '80s? They were all filmed there. Perhaps that's the key to the good service. Leon takes his hunting spear and opens the first airlock. Cautiously, in case some mutant dog pack or rabid kitty are stalking the entrance to his burrow, he opens the second airlock and sniffs the air. Behind him, the rest of the tribe wait, the elder Dave peering through the window in the first airlock, ready to commit some of the youngsters to aid Leon, or perhaps face the inevitable and watch Leon being torn to pieces by some overwhelming carnivore force.

Today, Leon is lucky. The only possible peril is a rabid squirrel. Not worth the effort of a spear cast. Leon sniffs the air. He can scent danger, but it is not from hungry predators. This danger is one that has driven all living things to seek refuge. It is chemical in nature. The skies are black, blacker than normal. Angry clouds are rolling in. Leon knows the signs. In a few hours, maybe sooner there will be a toxic rain that would flay the hide off uncovered skin. He backs into the first airlock and seals it. He can almost hear the disappointment of the tribe.

As he enters through the second airlock, he grunts. "No eat. Make little men."

And so begins another day at Pendraken.
