I just found this company on the net and wondered if you guys might have any feedback on them. They seem to have a very wide variety of stuff. |

I love their vehicles and especially their guns. Detailing is good and the kits are not hard to assemble even with my old fingers. One pithead feature I like is that open top vehicles (including half-tracks and trucks) have crews. The human figures are nice, but a bit less detailed than Pendraken. Fortunately they are very compatible. I mix the two freely in my units. My own recommendation for WWII 10mm is pithead vehicles with pendraken infantry. I have lots of different manufacturers in my forces and that combination offers good range and great price-performance. Service is solid, no problems with any orders I have placed. |

I have Pithead and Wargames South figures, and they mix very well. There is a good variety, and they have good poses. The detail isn't as nice as some of the others, but they are still very good. I don't have any of Pithead vehicles, so I can't comment on them. |

I have had very good service ordering from Pithead, I have a lot of their vehicles. Personally, of the major vehicle manufacturers (MiniFig, Pendraken, Wargames South, Magister Militum) I like Pithead the best. I'm not as huge a fan of the infantry, preferring MiniFig and Pendraken for that. |

I mix both Pendraken and Pithead. I agree detail on the Infantry is not as crisp as pendraken but i find the range an absoulute gem. What you cant get in one range you can get in another. All my French 10mm force is Pithead and is expanding all the time. The Pithead Char B is a fantastic model. |

Thanx for the info guys, I'm sold. I'm looking to build some early Eastern Front 10mm armor units and they had what I couldnt find elsewhere. This site is a must for any wargamer. Can't believe it took me so long to find it. |

Please specify scales you're talking about in the thread title -- saves time for those of us not into that scale. |
