So thanks to toxicpixie it seems my fantasy army will be looking more like 15th-16th century than high fantasy.  The landsknect amy has everything I wanted for my infantry core and artillery, and I'll be adding knights and war mammoths (Because fantasy :) ) I'll be building my fantasy army first because I have more players that I am likely to have games with as opposed to just one guy for ww2.

P.s. almost ready for the 3rd layer of mod podge for the river. Should I water it down so it can level itself?

There's loads of useful pike and handgunners and mounted Xbows and gendarmes etc in the current "human fantasy" range, which is the late medieval one in smaller packs - they mesh nicely with the landsknectes so you can have shedloads of variety!

Not *quite* no two figures the same but not far off :D

I received my first package from Pendraken today!!

I ordered a small batch of ww2 Americans to get a feel for 10mm and Pendraken quality. I have to say I'm rather impressed.



I put them on some 40mm bases I got from a buddy's fire storm armada fleet while watching Fury. Nothing like some tank battles to get me in the gaming mood :)

No, thank you :)

Now than I've got my hands on some models and am happy with them I'll be placing an order to get both my armies started. I'll post the list of models for each when I decide exactly what I want to start with.

Got the first batch painted!



I'm not worried about making every model perfect, as long as the army as a whole looks good I'm happy.

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Then don't use the zoom feature  ;D

Was about to have a pop at whoever it was being rude about your work then realised it was you  ;D

Seriously, these are your first pop at 10mm moving from 28mm.  I did the same and these are way better than my first attempts  ;)

;D lol, that would have been hilarious! Thank you! I think i'm going to have to invest in some better quality detail brushes though.
