Why
Before buying 10mm miniatures I have mainly painted 6mm miniatures. I have read many articles and came to the conclusion that it is good to also paint at different scales because it improves your overall painting techniques. This is true. I have also wanted to see if not exactly something a little bit more bigger than 6mm, 10mm, is better for me. I also wanted some miniatures for my roleplaying and other personal dungeon crawler-like hobby projects. The answers to all these came from Pendraken Miniatures. I have chosen their miniatures and historical and fantasy ranges of miniatures in 10mm, because of the general designs, the details, and the prices.
How
The miniatures are from metal and they come, in general, in one piece. So no assemble necesarry, but uou do need to wash your miniatures, to prime and of course to paint and base them.
Results
I have painted quite many miniatures from Pendraken, especially from fantasy range. An image gallery and a review based on my experience in painting 10mm miniatures was assembled here. Not all the miniatures are painted like I wanted to, I was at the beginning back then, but their fine, and could be very good with more work.
Review
Pendraken Miniatures has many different ranges of miniatures across different settings. It has scenics miniatures and rules to play with your miniatures, and also other things to enhance your hobby experience (decals, bases brushes and so on). So, I can only review some of their miniatures, the ones that I have painted, mainly fantasy. The 10mm or 12mm for some of the miniatures, especially from fantasy ranges are quite a big step from 6mm. You have to paint a lot! The design of the miniatures is good and for some of the miniatures really great. I think Pendraken has the most extensive range for 10-12mm out there and their services are very good. There are a lot to chose from, in terms of fantasy miniatures, a great number of poses and overall good packs and prices. Because Pendraken offers wargame rulesets in order to play with your miniatures, this makes for an even bigger way to make the most out of their miniatures. Because of integrating some of the miniatures ranges - fantasy - with the fantasy wargame (Warband) some of the codes of miniatures and also some of the miniatures disappeared. I would have liked that somewhere on their website, in a little corner, a catalog with the past miniatures to be present (even better if they were still available to be bought in order to complete a hobby project, but hey, things change). Also, it is good that there are many ranges of miniatures, but it is hard to have photos for all the miniatures. And to buy miniatures without photos it is not that good, but makes for nice and pleasant surprises!
So when thinking on painting 10-12mm I would chose Pendraken Miniatures as the main provider because of the many possibilities and good representation in terms of ranges of miniatures and settings, miniatures and accesories, poses and details.
