Nearly finished my 10mm To The Strongest Macedonian/Successor army. These fellas will serve as Alexander's army as well as various successor states. All of the figures (except Magister Militum elephants) are Old Glory.

very nice streetgang  :-bd

heard some varying reports about OG 10mm figures but never seen them "in the flesh".

Your ones have certainly turn out well.

The OG figures are okay if you like strips
As to Pendraken Macedonians...

Thanks gents, Pendraken are almost always my preferred 10mm, however sometimes chance and necessity dictate I go elsewhere for my collection.

My friend and I played a convention game of To the Strongest and had a blast. After the game we both agreed to start a 10mm project for TTS, my friend then stumbled upon a large 10mm Punic Wars collection (unpainted) being sold at heavy discount in the flea market. Those figures were all Old Glory. When I expanded my armies for TTS, I stayed with Old Glory as they had Persians, Macedonians and Indians too.

Some OG 10mm ranges are quite nice and others just meh. The strips facilitate an assembly line painting and I think OG give good results for speed painting. The added bonus of being pretty budget friendly for US customers.

My 10mm TYW armies are a mix of Pendraken and OG. I find they typically match up well enough to be in the same unit.

The OG 10mms come on strips.
I avoid this since my areas of interest have most troops in looser formations.

I can see the attraction when you want your troops in nice orderly lines.

If you're doing Hellenistics and Pendraken don't have what you need, don't overlook Newline figures.
