Where to get the 10mm little bastards? Before creeping your way through each, it would be best to get an idea or list of what your planning. Me? hell no! I went straight to eBay. There was next to nothing on eBay for 10mm ancients. Next up was,
They were a staple for ACW 15s. I have been a member of their club as the need a raised. The deal there is 40% off for a year if you pay 50 beans. Depending on how much you order or how big your dreams are, it will work out. You need to order 7 packs to break even. Normally 100 dudes are 17 beans, membership get you 100 dudes at 10.20. Warstore & Pendraken
You can get your Pendraken thru the Warstore and save on shipping. The Warstore has some issues getting Pendraken to full kit out orders. They also order once a month or so. You get 30 dudes for 7.30ish. They do have some interesting command options.
Ordering directing from Pendraken is easier and comes in less than 2 weeks!
Magister Militum
Here you are stuck ordering from England. Shipping will be high, as are the cost per dude. Yet they have the best line up of ancients with characters. You get 30 dudes for 5.8 pounds sterling whatever that is in dollars.
Eureka minis
They have dudes at 0.75 Aussie dollars each???
Steve Barber
Their dudes are 20 for 3.50 pounds. The line is limited in time scale.
NewLine Designs
Their dudes are 30 for 4 pounds. Newline has sales from time to time. Some of my 20mm colonials come from them. They don't screw you with shipping and it is fast, less than a week from England.
Old Glory being the cheapest option. I will bulk out my armies with Old Glory. Then sprinkle in a few Pendraken and Magister and Newline Designs to break up the clone army look.
Basing options.
ebay has plastic and plywood at 48 40x20 & 4 20mm circles for 5.99 pounds
Magister Militum has plastic at 50 for 5 pounds
Shogun Miniatures has 50 magnetic bases for 10 dollars. Metal bases are a little less and shipping is USPS flat rate.
I went with shogun minis for magnetic bases.
