Warhammer (not warmaster) in 10mm useing as little GW stuff as possible

[fred.]

Glad to see that you can go WHFB without going GW.

regarding your empire force you may be better going with EL3 or LAN5 for hand gunners as the ELM ones may look a bit early

I have a fair few Pendraken in my Warmaster Dogs of War http://kerynne.com/games/WarmasterDogsofWar.html

The link below is to a blog where someone refought Bloodbath at Orc's Drift using singly based 10mm (not using Warhammer though).

It inspired me to dig out my old copy of Bloodbath and start building forces, which I couldn't afford to do 20+ years ago.

I'm going to base on 20x20mm, 20x40mm or 40x40mm but using 2 figs rather than one.  Champtions/Heros will be singly based.

P.S

If you do Ravenloft, I suspect you'll already have alot of the undead required for "Terror of the Lichmaster"??

Ooh, Bloodbath at Orcs drift is an interesting idea - that was the first wargames campaign that I played, probably 20 years ago. I still have the original box - might have to dig that out

Very nice army. I see you have some of the same ideas as I have - Mammoth as Tuska, Elizabethan & Landsknechts ranges for the humans. Great minds think alike .... 

I've also tried the Lizardmen way - it's stuck at the mo, can't find proper figs for Kroxigors and Slann. Don't know if the 15mm range will do for Kroxigors?

... the people I game with will probably lauph at my army until they see that I can get armies much bigger than theres for a fraction of the cost, that en masse, look just as good, hopefully they will see it my way)

Send them our way, we'll help convince them!

Have you got a pic of the kind of look you're after?

I'm currently using Tribal Lizardmen as not-Saurus, and Newtmen from the same range as not-Skinks.

You're after a Buddha?!   

The 15mm Lizards do look a lot like the regular ones, but with a crest on the heads.

A giant frog-like figure, in a serene Buddha-like pose.

Yes, but use swords & spears. I just want teeth & claws, and maybe boulders. Reptillian versions for your Trolls would be perfect.

Ah right, I think they're already on the list but I'll check.

Aaarrgghh - stop it - you lot are killing me...I've been wanting to do Pendraken fantasy armies, predominantly for WM gaming, but I am partial to WHFB up to & including 6th edition, for *ages*...

I've thought about using Hill Dwarves for Chaos Dwarves as a simple differential...

Oh - and Ravenloft? Six, you are accruing more & more of my respect - I want to see this. Now please. 

Hmm - I can see where this is leading...anyone want to buy some beautifully painted (if I do say so myself) Chaos & Tomb Kings in 28mm?

thanks again all for the advice and encouregment. on more thing-how would you base them? should I just use the 20mmx20mm basing used in the normal scale game? or should I shrink it in proportion to the smaller minies? if the second option is best, how would I determine the movement and ranges of said shrunk units. I am kind of haveing a qaundry here. on one hand, if I use the normal sized bases, the units (unless I base more units to one base) will a bit loose in formation. if I use proportionally smaller bases, I would have to modify the rules.

20x20 would give the option for Warmaster...

hmmm, it all depends if you intend to use a commercially existing set of rules with an exacting base scale written in. However, if you plan to base your figures individually I`d strongly recommend you go to the bank and get a load of 1 cent coins for foot, 2 cent coins for horses and slightly bigger things (like some dungeon creatures) and 5 cent coins for the biggest Pendraken 10mm critters out there. If you use the Euro in your country then picking them up is as simple as exchanging a few Euro for coins in the bank; if you use the pound, the bank will probably not have them in stock, but will get them for you in less than a week â€" two max (I`d pick up a pile all at once, that’s what I do. You`d be amaze how quickly your collection grows). I`d suggest 5 euro worth of 1 cent coins (500 bases there), maybe 50 2 cent coins, and perhaps 20 5 cent coins.

Why cents and not another currency? The one and two cent coins fits beautifully on the Pendraken resin dungeon tiles; and the five cent coin fits well over a few squares and feels nicely in scale. I also like these coins because they allow just enough base room to allow an aesthetically pleasing finish to each miniature, but doesn`t make the figures look out-scaled â€" like the Mage Knight ones do for example.

But this also all doubles up nicely if you ever want to use my generic mass combat rules which will be in print and available from Pendraken as soon as Leon sorts things out with the printers/publishers... he`s a busy chap, so I don`t know when this will be exactly.

Hope this helps,
