Just joined the forum, have been a customer of Pendraken for many years and have large WW2 and WW1 collections. Would like to be persuaded into other areas but the fear of painting 10mm for some era's definitely is off putting, but then again I prefer playing with my toys not painting them. :)

Morning Kaiser

Get yourself some Pendraken Marlburians or 7YW or AWI.

Paint them like this (quick and easy).

Once you know what you are doing, paint them like this.



Eventually you'll have enough to do this.

Welcome to the forum!

Don't let the thought of painting put you off. Even very modest paint jobs look good from "gaming distance" when viewed en masse.

As far as I'm concerned the smaller the figure, the easier it is to get away with a less than perfect paint job ... which may explain why I'm currently painting up 3mm figures :D

Likely you are not aware of what you just said in Southern Appalachian English, but I want to affirm that none of my cousins actually ever did that!  ;) :D
