Title: 10mm Fantasy project. Part 2...
Post by: Corso on 02 April 2025, 09:07:36 PM
I've been dancing around several scales over the last few months but can't help returning to 10mm. This thread sits in non-pendraken forum but there will be plenty joining the party  :D

Before they turn up I set to work personalising some copplestone favourites

I'm hoping I will finally settle on some dungeon crawl rules to give them a run out  :-\

If you click on the photo it expands. Click on it again it shrinks back. Clever.


And I agree, those figures are very nice indeed.

There's a "width=100" on the post. I changed it to "width=1000".

I always post at width 100 as I only use my mobile, and they destort if you post them full size.

With the new forum software I have stopped putting in width tags - photos seem to auto-scale pretty well now.

Looked very cloudy when I looked at the blown up images on my work PC, I think it's a photography issue as I only have my phone to work with

Post by: Corso on 06 April 2025, 12:04:25 PM
Some Orcs, coppleston reworks  :D

Minor changes to arms and additional hair

Haven't decided on whether I'm keeping the plain metal shields or painting them

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/65/16577-060425130011.jpeg)

They look better in the flesh, can't seem to photograph them as well as I'd like



Title: Re: 10mm Fantasy project. Part 2...
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 06 April 2025, 02:01:47 PM
Suitably nasty.
Maybe just a red eye on the shields, it's traditional! 👁️
Title: Re: 10mm Fantasy project. Part 2...
Post by: Corso on 07 April 2025, 06:14:17 PM
Red eye did cross my hand but I'm leaning towards these two as options

Red hand or Red mountains

I may use the latter for the goblins

Impressive work on such a small area

I like the hand more (the mountain looks a bit like a rocket ship, at first glance)
Title: Re: 10mm Fantasy project. Part 2...
Post by: Corso on 08 April 2025, 06:05:32 AM
Thanks I went with the hand

I think my cave goblins will have the mountains as their mark

Lovely paint job, particularly for 10mm. I would agree with fred. that the hand looks better, although I don't see the spaceship for the other shield (maybe that's because I do a bit of mapwork for D&D, so any chevron shape = mountains in my eyes)
Title: Re: 10mm Fantasy project. Part 2...
Post by: Corso on 10 April 2025, 08:48:22 PM
Couple of the Orcs with new shields and the first of the Chaos Dwarves

Post by: fred. on 12 April 2025, 08:31:36 AM
Nice work on Kiera and the terrain - you are getting some great detail on these tiny models!

Is the trapdoor based? I can't tell if it's a different variant to the ones I have.

Yes it's based on a 15mm Magnet, I had to round the cornerstones

I've a dozen Orcs to finish but not being one to block paint, I found some old Magister Militum Ghosts, can't decide on either Green or Blue ethereal hue

Here's the green

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/65/16577-120425163114.jpeg)

I will always regret not geting more of the Magister fantasy range when they were avalible and am always on the lookout

Title: Re: 10mm Fantasy project. Part 2...
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 12 April 2025, 07:19:04 PM
Green is great.
Title: Re: 10mm Fantasy project. Part 2...
Post by: fred. on 12 April 2025, 07:27:06 PM
That works - I have tended to go with green for ghosts, but on occasion I do think I've used blue as well. 

I'd perhaps try a lighter shade, or a white dry brush over the top - to give a more ethereal / translucent look?

Post by: Corso on 27 April 2025, 01:24:38 PM
In the search for critters for the Dungeons I've struggles to find any in 10mm scale

So I thought I'd give it a go

This one's on a 10mm base

Will have to see how it handles use

Do you have access to a 3d printer? That would certainly help with random critters like spiders.

Unfortunately not and the couple of times I've tried to buy scaled down 3d prints they didn't manage to scaled them to 10mm more like 15mm

Yes, scaling on 3d prints does seem to be more of an art than a science! Often needs a couple of test prints to get things right. Which isn't very practical if a 3rd party is doing the printing.

Those look good to me, Corso. Nicely done!

For those not up to sculpting such things, Perfect Six ( https://perfectsixscenics.co.uk/ ) do a pack (RS1 Rats & Spiders) of ... yes, you guessed it! .... rats and spiders in their 6mm Fantasy range. Not a great picture on their website but it gives you an idea of what you are getting.

I picked up some of them a while back and they were a bit too small even for me  :D

What I'd really like is a range of swarms on 15mm round bases, maybe I'll try that next

Having second thoughts about using orcs and thinking of Turing this into a more early medieval rpg adventure

With wildlife rather than monsters to add a bit of variety to the antagonists
