So, how daft am I? Back in the mid to late 1980's I bought and painted up large amounts of Irregulars 6mm ECW strips of figures. A couple of years ago I spotted a Warlords Games ECW starter army on ebay at a bargain price and bought that as a fututre project. At Triples this year I bought a set of ECW rules called 'A Crowning Mercy'. Suitably inspired I quickly rebased all my 6mm figs into suitable bases for those rules. A few of my gaming pals however had been thinking of doing the ECW as the next group project and have decided on doing it in 15mm...and yes I have bought a load of 15mm to paint up now. Will I ever learn?
Pendraken's 10mm are really great looking figures, you should get some... :d :d :d

It's like an airplane, you fly around and you correct your course, to finally land at the right spot.
Come on then, land in 10mm, you know you want to! =P~
No you won't, because the obvious way to go was to continue with your projects and play with their 15mm figures in their projects.
A couple of us did suggest Pendrakens ECW range but 15mm won out. I also struggle to play with other players figures if it is a period I like I have to collect and paint my own.
But you had collected and painted your own, not in 15mm. I love FPW but I'm blowed if I'm doing it in 28mm just because my mate does.
Leman, you are obviously a wiser and stronger willed man than I am. Show me some nice figures in a period I like and I am easily tempted. You are right in what you say but anyone who looked at Fat Wallys Basic Baroque blog and liked ECW would be tempted.
This is one I know all too well. Did AWI British in 28mm, Americans in 1/72; Ottomans in 15mm, Polish Lithuanian in 10mm. Guess what? I'm a solo player 8-}
Oh sorry, I did exactly that and now have ECW in 3 scales. 28mm Basic Baroque and Smooth and Rifled, 15mm Regimente of Foote and Warr Without An Enemie, 6mm for Polemos :-[ (Hangs head in shame). I do love the head swaps on the PP figures.
I have Kursk era Russians and Germans in 3mm, 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm and 28mm ..... DOH!
I have a 28 mm new model army i collected and painted about twenty years ago and guess what??? It has never seen action.
I suppose you could say it's no longer a "new" model army.
well if no longer new still inexperienced or green lol
;D ;D ;D
Leman, knowing that you have Ecw in 3 scales made me laugh ;D, it just proves we are all suckers for nice figures
I have ECW in 6 and 15 and Mongols in 6, 10, 15 and 25mm,
Great italian Wars in four scales, ACW in two scales, FPW in two scales and still a number unpainted in a third (sold off the painted ones), Post-Roman Britain in two scales, WWI in three scales, WOR in two scales, Romans in two scales and three periods, and so it goes on. Hoist by my own petard apparently ( and I've got one of those in 15mm and 28mm).
I have Normans, Anglo Saxons, Arthurians, Picts and Vikings in both 28mm and 10mm. Also got Greeks in 6mm, 20mm and 28mm.
Late Imperial Roman in 15mm and 10mm.
High Elves in 28mm (anyone want them?) and 10mm.
Dark Age/Medieval Scots in 28/15/10 (if you count unpainted Picts)
