Question about 10mm LOTR

[blacksmith]

Oh yeah, seeing those Orcs reminded me: Pendraken Fantasy minis tend to be a bit larger than their historicals. I don't have the Pendraken Fantasy range humans, can someone confirm this? The Dwarfs and Orcs at least seem bigger?

I think I have some of the Elves and othert stuff stashed up, I could take comparison shots, if someone wants them? Unpainted at this point, sorry to say.

I have these comparative shots but there are no Pendraken humans. Well there is one but it's historical:

Told you he was a 10mm God

I think with orcs it's not really a problem, for me, I'll see if I can get some Ds in a photo

Here you have some more pics of my little heroes in a dungeon bash:

[thebinmann]

Here goes, I apologise to the paintes for my shoddy camera work!

Picture one, copplestone human and three pendraken elves (or humans if you like and ignore the pointy ears!)



Three copplestone humans, this is to show the different bases: i cent (european), 1p and wooden disk)



I copplestone dwarf followed by three pendraken Ds (1 cent, disk, 1 cent, old half penny approx size on I cent)



Strip of pendraken (so they must be kallistra) copplestone, pendraken, copplestone



As you can see the pendraken ones are bigger but still clearly dwarfs

Copplestone D, Pendraken D, Copplestone Human, Pendraken Elf



Double coppletone orces on a 5 cent (european), pendraken goblin on 1/2 penny, copplestone uruk leader



Coppletone, copplestone, pendraken, pendraken skellie, pendraken beastman an pendraken elf



If you were going for ents be careful the pendraken one is small; Irregulay 6mm Ent, Copplestone Hobbit, Pendraken ent (perhaps you could use a 25mm dryad?)


Fianlly this shows the small nature of the ents compared toa GW dragon and giant



Hope that helps!

Your painted models are beautiful! Especially the Copplestone's and the Wyvern 

[thebinmann]

Thanks, but none of them we by me! I chose the colours!  

There are three different, no sorry 4, members handiwork amonst my horde. Can you guess who?

That leaves only you to convince to have a go at a few for me!

Okay I'm sold now on 10mm.  Awesome stuff.  I guess I've got some buying to do.

[Verderer]

Ahha, but no pics of Pendraken historicals in comparison with their Fantasy?!

Which was kinda my fuzzy point, that their historicals do not necessarily match their fantasy figs in size? It's not a big difference (how could it be?!?) but noticeable in any case. Of course, if you play LoTR or Bofa, then shorter humans can be of the 'lesser men' ilk?

The two to the right are Pendrakens. The human is historical and the skellie is fantasy. there are Pendraken fantasy figures like elves and such who are even taller than the skellie, so yes, the historicals are quite smaller in comparison.

You have a PM

I'll take your word concerning his divinity Adam, but he can certainly sling paint  

Do you use a white undercoat Blacksmith? The bright colours on yours' make mine look dull and boring, I'm going to have to rethink my 10mm technique

All those figures from the pictures above are black undercoated but now I'm using a different technique and grey undercoat. They turn out better with black undercoat but my eyesight has worsened with the age and now it's easier for me to paint with white or grey undercoat than with black.
Actually I'm considering to sell all my 10mm stuff and move to 28mm.
Your colours are not boring but mute and realistic and really good, I love them. How you paint the swords? I like the black effect on metal.

It was as luch his inspiration to do Orc's drift in 10mm as his painting, it has unlocked the three games workshop warhammer second ed box sets for me making them possible after sitting on my shelf gor yeras===ars.

Though he can sling that paint too

I don't, I just scrape the black undercoat off with a scalpel and buff it up. Keep it under your hat though, I don't want any customers to find out I cheat 

So you've moved on to a grey undercoat, I've moved on to brown.

Irregular Miniatures have a 10mm pirate range, if anyone is still looking.

I have Pendraken gensdarmes and fantasy knights side by side in my 1525 army; size is a decent match there, at least.
