Some of the newer Pendraken figures are amazing. I have an awful lot of their ECW cavalry, but the pikes are a bit short on the foote. One day I'll replace them with wire. One day... The biggest consideration for me (and I'm sure this is true of most wargamers who play at home) is table size. While large-scale 28mm battles are certainly appealing, they're never going to be anything more than aspirational. 10mm is a great compromise between size and detail. Even Black Powder works if you swap inches for centimetres.
I am really impressed looking at the Pendraken 10mm Sci-Fi range. Tje ides of having to glue multiple models on a single base feels still weird to me though, coming from larger scale games. Do you think it would be worth considering glueing them individually onto small trips of magnetic plates and then using metal washers as bases for a squad?
That shoukd work, but I have not had much experience with magnets, though I should do something for my really useful boxes and storage.. I had loads of Pendraken sci-fi stuff years ago and liked it also.

@@Unclecthulu i have a bunch of these boxes for my 28mm miniatures and I always put some of these somewhat flexible magnet sheets on the bottom and sometimes even lid or sides. With a metal washer as/under the base they sit rock solid in there. Even bases made out of or filled with a mixture of dry spackle and iron dust sticks well enough.
I had a 20mm Hinton Hunt army . A 25mm hinchliffe army.and a 15mm Brit and Prussian armies. Then the beginnings of a 28mm Brit army from Perry Bros. My ACW Pendraken are unpainted
I think the biggest different is that you are not painting as much detail, and often the illusion of detail. So it's much quicker. You will also be deploying them.enmass, so whilst we all want our models to look ace, you can make more short cuts.
10mm is a nice scale for certain periods and warfare style. Napolionics for sure. American Civil War and American Revolution as well. Prefer 15mm for Ancients/Middle Ages. WWII and more contemporary periods, 28mm all the way. 6mm is flea circus level stuff and I'll just play a board game instead.

Funny you should mention that about Black powder. It's a key part of my next video!

@leonleese4919 I don't like to think about the projects I have squirreled away unpainted.
Just bought both sides for the 45 rebellion, will be a fun project, also got a French army for a what if the French landed, or to do Fontenoy
Just got some GHQ British 10mm Napoleonic's. Nice, lot of detail for the size. Very little flash.
how different would you say painting 10mm is compared to 15mm or 1/72 (20mm)?

I think flea circus about 2mm!
On the ww2 it depends on the size of the.engagement I want to.do. Though primarily I am 28mm
What scale would be 10mm?
1/161
@@percyblok6014 thank you!
Is the talking head act the best intro you can do to such a visually rewarding scale?
