Anyone play it? I used to play in 20mm but I'm thinking of giving it a go in 10mm.

It's pretty low miniature count but I was wondering about giving it a go with multiple figures on a single base as each character.

It's really an excuse to give Naps in 10mm a go without a massive commitment. I plan to mix Pendraken with Newline to maximise individuality

I really enjoyed painting the 20mm and am wondering how well I can match them in 10mm

Your 20's look superb. I will enjoy seeing what you do with 10's.

I've done Sharpe Practice in 10mm, enjoyed painting the figures, and playing the games. Around 50 figures aside. I went with the same figure counts as in 28mm - I think the games looked better, ranges and unit footprints looked a lot more sensible than the rather odd 6 figures in 2 ranks of the 28mm units. 

I'm not sure what the figure count of ASODS is but multiple 10mm figures on a 25mm round base would look good, with the same number of bases as in 28mm. 

I too like the look of your 20mm Rifles!

I tried to convince my son 40k would make more sense if he put 3 10mm on a base, and be cheaper.

Turns out he's a wargamer, so wouldn't listen.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Thanks for the comments, they are newline and almost paint thems3lves with the level of detail, hoping a mix of them and pendraken will be equally good.

These were some custom characters I made



And the Regular Brits paint up well too





 Figure count is small, less than 10 a side so if I buy a few packs I'll have plenty to try different figure options

I'm thinning 2-3 per base

I did think about sharp practice but I'm a solo gamer
