My first 10mm (Pendraken) miniatures
« on: July 12, 2020, 05:03:43 PM »
Here is my first wack at 10mm miniatures. They come from the Pendraken Franco Prussian War and are French Infantry:





They were a hoot to paint and I really enjoyed them.

Here is a close up, but I did it by hand, so it is fairly blurry..



Been awhile since I used flock and it came out so so. Hopefully the bases will be better next time.

They are great! 10mm is a good scale for big battalions.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

Welcome to the 10mm club!

 :)

It's insane but I am thinking about increasing my regiment size from 18 to 30.

Can't stress enough how much fun these are to paint. The detailing is amazing. Pendraken's ACW and AWI ranges are also really well sculpted.

Never done AWI before... hmm....

Really  nice work!  :-* 8) :-*

What size are the bases?

They are 30mm x 30mm pre-cut mdf bases from Pendraken. You could do it with 25x25 (8mm per figure). I went back and forth about the size of the base, but in the end I prefer to have a bit of room for my minis (so I can jazz up the base a bit), although I realize that many folks like their troops in dense formations. Most of the armies I have seen like to base their troops shoulder to shoulder... so I am a bit odd in that respect.

Very nice. What rules do you plan to use?
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

Amazing Ray. They look great. That’s very detailed painting for such tiny figures.

Your poor eyes!  ::) lol

Not sure to be quite honest, but I'm leaning towards 1871. The unit level I want to play is regimental. I've looked at a number of different rules, but I can't say for sure.

Overall though, I'm not too bothered as I am more a collector than a gamer. That is not to say that I don't like gaming, but the opportunity is very limited where I live.

BTW!

Thanks for all the great comments. I really appreciate them.

Thanks Richard!

You should have said "Your poor old eyes!"  lol

Actually I was astonished at the level of detail on the minis, which makes them actually fairly easy to paint. The command figures though drove me crazy with all the detail.

Also, of course, my optivsor helps quite a bit.  ;)

BTW... did you see the ear on that drummer?
