As far as I know all the old glory 10mm is on strips
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

The companies I know of would GHQ, old glory, Bend Sinister, the old Wargames south Range, Irregular, I think Scruby did some..I an mot sure if Bend Sinister took all the flashing Blade Range..Iam sure there are probably some more out there

Old Glory are in strips for close-order infantry like these.

Redline French look like this:



The seller describes them as mixing with (larger) Magister Militum but not (smaller) Pendraken.

I was wondering if they could be small 15mms.

The seller was told that they are Redline which clearly they aren't but would make sense if they are another range owned by Bend Sinister.

The ones in the bottom picture look a bit like some early Chariot stuff
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I think we can rule out Flashing Blade:

Fenton, Are early Chariot 15mm on the small size?

If I remember rightly they are...I think they were a similar size to Lancashire Games..the rifles are pretty poor quality on some of those pics
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I agree, the weapons aren't even as good as the Flashing Blade muskets pictured above.

Looking at this image, must make them 15mm, surely.

I agree they look much more like 15mm sculpts to me.

As with others I agree they look '15' but the second pic standard bearer, drummer and officer have the hallmarks of Bend sinister sculpts, the thin, chisseled look is common within the range.
Maybe the same sculptor?
