If I could add a quick note...when it comes to buying paint dont worry about buying litle tubs of black and white as you will use loads of it...Go to an art shop and buy a big tube of black and white acrylic its a lot cheaper in the long run
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

You can be more relaxed here - this isn't TMP.  If these boards were anything real, they would be a pub- the kind with regulars and a landlord who knows them all and what they drink.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Agreed.  While an undergrad, one of my 3 jobs was as a barkeeper in such a pub.  This forum is indeed like that, only with less cigar smoke.

Its worth considering that this forum is astonishingly troll-free.  Perhaps an indication that its mature* gamers who eventually come to the wonderful world of 10mm, after long years of slavery to the tyranny of 28's?

I like to think that with a mature readership like ourselves it's more artistic appreciation than the pure ogling and lust you might encounter in a younger readership...

:^o

Yeah, who am I kidding!

My preference is for a white primer (white car spray works perfectly).

I find that with 10mm figs the colour areas are quite small and a white primer helps the topcolours come through, especially the reds and yellows. If they look too garish I tone down with a light wash.

Probably the most impotant thhing with 10mm figs is that you're going for mass effect not individual perfection (unless you're Nik).

There was a pub near M'bro bus station back in the early 80's that had topless waitresses for a while, can't remember the name but I'm sure Dave can  ;)

He says it was called 'Norma Jeans'?!  He insists he went in by accident once...  :-\

Wakefield in the 80's?  If you were wearing your own shoes, probably free...  :D
