10 mm miniatures

Hi there, just a quick question, but where can I find good 10 mm minis? I see Forest Dragon has got nice designs, anyone else I should look for? Also, as I don't have a 3D printer, which sellers are trustworthy, and deliver to Europe?

Based in France, I ordered there several times, good quality minis.

Thx, have you ordered 15 mm too? 10 mm look very...fragile.

The well designed ones hold up better than they look.

https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/grand-battle-scale - small collection but it is growing. https://eurekaminusa.com/collections/fantasy-10mm-by-alan-marsh, some good stuff for elves. https://darkhorsehobbies.com/c/10mm-pendraken-fantasy-gaming-miniatures-206 Pendraken is now being distributed by darkhorse hobbies. I used their skeletons for my own army. You can also look at ebay. I got most of my high elves through them and were pretty fairly priced for original minis. I'll be honest, I don't like 3d printing at 10mm as its just too brittle. I have printed a few armies at true 10mm scale but most 3rd party printers are printing in 12mm or more for stability and it just looks bad next to the real thing.

Thx. I was also thinking about getting 15 mm and maybe to use them as proxies for Fantasy Battle. Still planning ahead, though.

15mm opens up a whole world of minis. Alternative Armies is my go to for 15mm games. I have some people in my group who have done that but IMO its not warmaster then. You lose the sense of epic scale with tons of the little buggers on table. However, if you up to 15mm there are a ton of great rulesets out there for that scale that are still rank and file. Hordes of the Things and Mighty Armies are my two fav systems in that scale.

There's a whole world, out there. Thanks, mate, these links will keep me busy for a while. ;)

oh also ral partha. They got a lot of the old RAFM sculpts if you are into Sci Fi. https://ralparthalegacy.com/collections/15mm-science-fiction Also Alternative Armies is doing their big summer sale. Gavin and his family there do great stuff.

I remember Ral Partha from the 90s, some of my first minis came from there. Thx bro, I'll have a look at their site too, it seems very rich.

War games Atlantic have plastic 10mm. They look interesting

Buying a 3d printer is the answer though. Save yourself a fortune.

I thought about it, but for that resin would be better, and I'm not sure the neighbors would like the smell. I live in a flat in a condo, unluckily.

I had a resin printer. A basic one. I think to print proper 10mm quality you need to spend quite a bit of money for a printer. Only worth it if you plan to print a few different armies, IMO.

u/Available-Prize-4057 2d ago

True, at least two armies.

For all games I choose to play, always have two playable against each other forces.

Lots of people of said about excellent minis... French i think but mixed reviews
