Nik,

Coming off your 28mm US and German threat, I looked up some of your old batreps.  I don't know what Aeons or Ctuhulus are, but the figs were cool as hell!  Pretty amazing that those were 10mm.  I'm assuming those were from the Pendraken SCW range?  Man, that gives me some real strange ideas  ;D

Where's your 3mm at, love to see them!

V/R,
Jack

Yep - Strange Aeons is a great Cthuluh skirmish game - majority of human figures are from SCW range, you're right  :)

Glad you like my 3mm stuff - here's more:

Hey, thanks again everyone for the kind words about the minis, as well as for the wife and I.

Nik - Send it.  I spent quite a bit of time (aggravating the wife) looking at old batreps of yours as well as your blog.  I'm REALLY digging the stuff for South Ossetia!  I don't know what it is about Soviet stuff going up against other Soviet stuff, I just LOVE it!  I want to get some T-90s for it though.  I actually almost did that in my Pico Armor order (in addition to all the stuff I ordered), but, for the sake of my finances, I cut it out.  I'll have to place another order...   :o

V/R,
Jack

I thought for a moment you had posted new stuff :(
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!

Give me a break...I've been living in temporary accommodation since September - with all my kit in storage - and *really* limited space / time for gaming since then  ;)

That's going to get better soon though...and then there will be way more new stuff from me  8)

I forgot about your temp accomadation

It's lovely (holiday cottage on Exmoor) but seriously limited on gaming space  :)

'Normal' service will resume soon...  8)

I've been eyeing up the WW1 range O8 are doing.

Just 3 tanks so far but, if expands the way the ACW and Napoleonics have, I expect to be working out how to make 3mm scale barbed wire sometime soon!

I am planning Yom Kippur.

Only problem is that unlike Picoarmor, here I'm Uk
you have to buy complete packs of everything. So for
things like APCs I end up with a surplus.

There is another company other than fighting 15's that supply 3mm in the UK , for the life of me I cant remember which it is at the minute but I know Nik uses them


EDIT  Its KR Games...I think they sell separate models

It's a bit odd when a T-35 costs the same as a motorcycle & sidecar...  :-\

I suspect most of the cost is in the handling, it's not as though there is a lot of material in any of these  :)
