Outstanding job you did on those 10mm mini's!

What an inspiring collection of 10/12mm armies you have. Thank you for sharing them.

Could you tell me what size wire and drill you use to replace all the cast on spears. I find that some of the spears on my 10mm figures are easily bent out of shape and I would like to replace them with wire ones.

Look fantastic. Great job with the conversions. I hope that Pendraken or Magister Militum release some proper Picts. I am busy working on my 10mm Irish, Saxon and Sub-Roman British but will ltimately like to have a Pict force as well.

A customer of ours has commissioned some Picts through one of our sculptors, so they'll eventually be hitting the Pendraken catalogue: link

@hybrid
The spears are 0.45 brass rod I buy from a model railway guy on the net . e mail sales@alangibsonworkshop.com

you get 10 lengths in a packet. the cat no. is 4m136. I simply hammer the end flat and cut with gfood wire cutters to shape then cut to length. The holes are then drilled using a dremel at 0.5mm

Hope this helps
