Hi Pendraken Residents!
Just a quick hello. My gaming buddies and I have recently decided to venture in the world of 10mm in the effort to get some fully painted armies on the table and get playing and I am glad I have! Got my first Pendraken Delivery and have to say the models are fantastic, especially the Canadiene Milita.
I will post some updates (when I get a better camera!) of our hobby progress, firstly starting with Sharp practice 2 in the French indian war and then very shortly after ACW! The problem is, I am now considering swapping all periods I do to 10mm!!
Anyway, looking forward to trawling through all the hobby posts on here and hopefully contribute!
Cheers
Plampers

Welcome to the forum, Plampers, and to the Goldilocks zone of figures.

Sir, that is not a problem, that is a rational life choice. I rationalised on the One True Scale several years ago and have never regretted it. Although my bank balance may have some misgivings, I am happier, saner and more attractive to women, dogs and seagulls since I gave up multi-scale gaming.
Anyway, welcome to what we like to call the "Forum", mostly because that's what its name is. We're a bit traditionalist that way.
HI Plampers,
I originate from Essex. Grew up near Ilford and then moved to Chelmsford for about 5 years. Now just in Buckinghamshire
New some nice girls in Essex - nuff said I fink
Anyway welcome to the Forum, its insanities, addictions and sometimes useful help and advice.

Welcome, I suppose, from a Welshman - >:(

Welcome from another Welshman. :)

Welcome, Plampers. Are you also into Nappies? :-\
Anyhoo, looking forward to hearing about your French & Indian Wars and ACW adventures in 10mm. :)
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :)

There you go! We were all thinking it, but Westie had to go there.
Plampers, you may now have to explain your monica - unless you are in fact Jan Plamper, Professor of History at Goldsmith College?
My FSN comes from my name, "Frederick Simeon Nobbs", which is also why I am referred to as "Nobby". Why I get
f***wit,
t***bundle and
a***wiper is beyond me. It may be my
fine wit, my
tank bundle and my frequent victories with Allied forces making me an
Axis wiper.
There are some other interesting stories behind forum member names.
"Westmarcher" thinks he's a reincarnation of a Mongol warlord. Always trying to raise the Eastern hordes is our Westie. Since he lives in Argyll, he's drowned 3 hordes already, and hasn't quite worked out the problem with his plan.
"D_guy" is a very specialist guitar player. He only plays one chord, but plays it better than any other in the whole of the continental United States. (There is a 12 year old girl in Hawaii who's better, but he won't admit it.)
"Le Man" comes from his time as no 1 male escort in Brussels. Ladies would ring up and ask for "le man". 'nuff said.
"Dave" is ex-RN. A submarine commander in fact, and very posh.
"Orcs" ... well you just need to see a picture.
"Techno" is the suprising one. He may seem mild mannered, but in his younger days he was leader of an elite special forces unit. Ruthless with the enemy, he always exhorted his team to "take no prisoners". Obviously, this became "take no ..." and so "techno ... " in the burr of his troops, as most of his team were from Arbroath. Techno knows 43 ways to kill a man (and 44 ways to kill a woman) with a Dremmel, and spends a lot of his time refining his skills on himself.
Don't let fsn's origin story fool you, Plambers. He is so fixated on tanks that "fsn" is the contraction of "fssssssnnnnn", the sound the main gun of a Centurion makes when its charge fails to ignite.
There has been another body of opinion that the sound is actually that of a Runcornian ruminate after sating itself on sour hay. I used to fully embrace this opinion but recently fsn posted a video in which I learned that Centurions are muzzle-loaders! I am now firmly committed to the first.
Also, if you haven't guessed already, much to the consternation of the Internet Forum Railroad Commission, threads tend to derail on this forum quite frequently. ;)
Whoops! there goes Casey Jones.

Wotcha!
Back in the day (end of the 60's), I spent two happy years -well, as happy as school gets- at Maldon Grammar School before moving back to Southend...yep, another Essex lad and proud of it. Now living just across the Thames in beautiful Kent.
