I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

These are nice pictures, but the title is perhaps a little misleading...by about 2mm.  Up until now my Pendraken experience has been WW2 and Modern, recently I moved in the WW1/Inter-war period.  I measured the last SCW figures I recevied and they are a soilid 12mm from base to head.  For the money this is good bang for the buck as it allows the sculpter a lot more scope for detail.  As commented in another thread, the new Vickers 6ton is noticibly bigger than the existing T 26 model - both in real life were 15ft long x 'about'* 8ft wide- so  are new  Pendraken now figures/models officially 12mm ?

* varied 7ft 11" to 8ft

I find Pendraken are about 11mm. I hate scale creep.

However - re-inforcements needed chaps

Nice! I suppose you've seen the advert for the new Blackpowder 18th century supplement coming out. I purchased a box of the WF WSS plastic guys and posted a sample on the TMP with a link. I do like 6 and 10mm but the 28mm figs are fun to paint up.

We've been happy playing with my supplement:  I'm in two minds about the Warlords one - I'd want to see it in depth first.

I've popped a quick post up.  I understand people playing other scales, no worries, but saying 10mm is the worst of 6 and 15?  Don't get that at all, seems a bit 'glass half empty' to me.

Cant get to TMP at moment, will do shortly. My own preferance is 6mm, but 10 is also a very good scale..

I don't need a 'shed load', but a few for TW&T.  What you got for how much?

Most WWII types, £2 each + postage. They tend to late, and none of the resin only ones, like T-26 etc. So Sherman, Crusader, Pnz III, Pnz IV.
