10mm or 15mm?

I'm guessing as you posted on a 10mm forum you were expecting, nay, asking for pro-10mm point of view.  I hope the fact it was THIS forum hasn't put you off  (I'm the normal one round here).

The main argument in 10 v 15 seems to be mass v detail.

Not sure what the footprint of 15mm is, but I can confidently tell you you can achieve the following in 10mm (files/width x ranks/depth)

on 20x20mm base - 3 x 2 (WSS)
on 30 x 30mm base 4 x 3 or 4 (stance dependant) (ECW, ACW but not as tight depth wise)
on 40 x 20mm base 6 x 2 (Warmaster)

I also know that the ECW muskets have apostles on them!

After a bit of googling and binging I found a guy who mounts 3 x 2 ECW on a 30mm base.

Peter Pig are 8 x 15mm for £3 = 37.5 p each.  £1.50 for a 4 figure base, £2.25 for 6 figures
Pendraken are 30 for £4.50 - 15 p each - £1.80 for a 12 figure base., £1.35 if you do 9 3x3 (which are easier to base - my 4 wides just fit, sort of)

So from price wise what you gain per figure you can lose on the 'mass' effect. (except skirmish games of course)

Your choice basically comes down to visual effect (do you want pike blocks of 18-24 figures) vs extra painting (dependant on painting speeds).

Also the expensive '1 offs' such as carriages, or even artillery, are cheaper because you buy the same amount what ever the scale.

And this is administered orally, right?

For you, yes.  You get the spoon after FSN has finished with it, and his is a suppository.

Thought you were the normal one?   

Oh and...

Actually, tastes of Bailey's

Is that 'normal' as in 'like the majority' meaning you are as bonkers as the rest of us!

Several grades:

1)  "Normal" bonkers (sort of Ithoriel level);

2)  "More than normal" bonkers (Fenton territory);

3)  "Really" bonkers (probably got to throw my and Westmarcher's hat in the ring);

4)  Nobby!

'Normal' = 'Majority' - my counter to that is compare this to Nazi Germany.

Also I maintain that I am normal.  the fact that 95% of the population is abnormal is their fault not mine.

I am going to remain aloof from this thread. I am not "bonkers", I am "differently synapsed".

[getagrip]

I am "differently synapsed".

AKA bonkers grade 4

I wonder if Leon, Dave, and the others at Pendraken can be regarded as the medics looking after the inflicted, or indeed is it a case that they are more bonkers (or 'differently synapsed') than us lot and have taken over the asylum?   

[Westmarcher]

As far as medics are concerned (are they? are they really?), I would like to point out that I am undercover.

.... damn .... I've blown my cover ..... but will they notice?

I thought you were 'under the covers', part of the particular psychosis induced by lead poisoning whereby you think the world is out to get you, just as it is me!

No, they are dealers!  Pure and simple

But can we get figures on prescription? I'll have 10 bags for £8.05, the NHS will pay the rest.
