What Nik said... =D>

The one thing i'd add is that 28mm (and all its variations) will probably reign supreme in wargaming for many years to come.  But where i've seen 10mm 'emerge' in recent years has been to take over the 15mm niche.

I think Pendraken is the best figure supplier i've come across primarily due to the astonishingly good customer service, both in person and via the tinterweb...however, it's not all unicorns on the lawn - pictures on the website still need sorting. 
I don't think its a minor issue either.  I've no doubt you're losing online sales by simply not having the pictures available...

I will go shortest than Nikharwood...

+1 to all he said!

I didn't know 10mm before Pendraken. Now, when I see my Samurai Apes army (and the Amazon army of my sweetheart), I love this scale. I love the price. I love the space I have gained in my appartment!^^
This forum is very cool, the people I have met (virtually) are nice. They make me discover FCW (thanks Nikharwood and others), HOTT (I have found the french version yesterday!^^) and I'm hesitating to have a german army for Blitzkrieg and also the fishmen army for HOTT!

Thank you Pendraken!

To finish unpacking the feelings of feeling good marshmallow, I say : Live long and Prosper!

The only thing you're doing wrong is this:

Thank you mon amigo  8)

You're right on the photo-front: it's great to see the progress so-far on this with the website (& I know the house fire hasn't helped  :(] but it might be worthwhile finding a friendly work-experience student or media studies student without a day job who is looking to build their CV..!

I 'speak' more frequently to them than people that live in my village...

That's because you speak Larhndin English innit, and they speak Zummerzet they do, and your lovely wife isn't always around to translate; and they don't like foriegners 'round 'ere, and because you support Chelsea... :D

Oh don't be a wimp. Go and order that army right now!  :P

In fact I received my copy of BKC2 recently and it looks fine, it smells good, it simply oozes that.. Harwood spirit we know so well.  8)

* Footnote: I've never actually met Dave, Leon or Matt (can't really believe that, but there it is) - but I would consider them as my friends. I 'speak' more frequently to them than people that live in my village [I'm waiting for some jokes from Kiwidave here, natch  ;)]

Interesting footnote there, and I concur. I consider everyone on this forum a 'friend' in the Interwebs sense of the word. By that I mean that there is a worldwide middle class with shared values, from China to Peru and from Germany to South Africa. And it's that class that comes together in many spots of the World Wide Web, across borders, language barriers and cultural divides. Including on this forum. We're all basically nice, sedate, more or less polite, more or less educated chaps who speak more or less acceptable English (sadly we'd have to make an exception for Yorkshire here) and we recognise those selfsame qualities in all the others. I feel I could hang out in a bar with almost everyone of you. Much more so than with various individuals or groups of people from my own country.

Weird init?

OG sell in 100's not 30's.

Have suggested to Dave reducing the number of ifgs in a pack, ie mouinted in thge Ancient/Medieval  ranges to 12, which gives a warmaster unit. 100 - few too many unless I'm doing a entire army at atime, in which case I buy a special army pack.
