Actually they are, theyre just advertised as 12mm, in reality theyre a pretty good match for Pendraken 10mm.

A more practical and infinitely more USEFUL test Barbarian is



12mm Minifigs on the left, 10mm Pendraken on the right.

And do be careful of the size of the gun B.
In the vast majority of cases, because the gun has to be fatter (in scale) for casting purposes it needs to be made longer than 'reality'.....otherwise the gun ends up looking rather 'stumpy' once it's on the model.
You have to 'cheat' on the proportions to make it 'look right' once it's on the figure.
And you won't know if it looks right, until it's actually on the soldier itself. ;)
What you've done looks very nice though !

Don't like the one on the left.

Me neither. I had a look on the range, can't say I'm pleased with them.

No me neither, but they (and their vehicles) do exist, and thats as close to 10mm as your likely to get.

Gennorm

That's why I've gone 15mm where it's much more developed. Hey stop throwing things at me  :-* ???

All I want for moderns is Infantry in floppy hats/kepis/Helmets with HMGs and mortars, and I only need a couple of vehicles to make me happy, trucks, T55s and Technicals with the option of RRLs or HMGs. But I am waiting for Pendraken to do them mainly because I hate assembling Minifigs stuff, then when Mr Leon listens to my pleas I can get busy in the Peoples Republic of Zambowanga playing AK47.
