Outside of Pithead, Pendraken and Perrin, are there any other companies that do 10mm World war 2? |

Arrowhead Miniatures is the current manifestation of what used to be Wargames South. arrowheadminiatures.co.uk They advertise their figures as 1/144th which seems to mean their figures are 12mm. Many other 10mm manufacturers products are actually 12mm. Does anyone have a good size comparison website? |

You have to sort through it,but this site has a lot of info:
link I donīt know if it will have Arrowhead or not. I have Pendraken and Pithead, and they match up quite well. |

Don't forget the excellent range of ready finished vehicles from Takara, Dragon Can Do, Trumpeter, Panzer Depot, Metal Troops etc. Takara also offer some of their range as kits, I had their Tiger set, which was excellent value. They are easily found on EBay. This retailer has many of them (other retailers are available) link The models are on the " large side" of 10 mm, i.e. more like 1/144, but I find they go well with the Arrowhead vehicles and infantry figures from Minifigs and Pendraken.
There is also a range from Millenium models, which includes Panther tank, PzIII and a 251 apc. A little cruder than the ones mentioned above and probably closer to "real 10mm", but perfectly adequate for gaming. I think these are often available in the U.S. through stores such as Walmart, although in UK I have only been able to buy them online. I have 6mm, 10/12mm and 20 mm WW2 collections and I think the quality of many of the 10/12mm vehicles is superb, in many ways I think it is the best scale for this period. |

Minifigs has a great range but is slightly larger than Perrin (I don't have any Pithead or Pendraken). Arrowhead is designed to match up with those plastic and die cast 1/144th scale miniatures (Dragon Can Do, Trumpeter, etc – that have pretty much disappeared now) and is very slightly bigger than Minifigs. |

I can say that Pendragon figures are 12mm not as supposed to be 10mm. I have seen them together. Some 10mm stuff is growing so new stuff may be 12mm anyway. 1:144 seems to be a growing scale and its about N gauge so lots of scenary items at this scale, some even free print your own colured card stuff, some of which is perfectly acceptable. |

Dan 055- still lots of the plastics 1/144 around on EBay, Tankzone etc and the Panzer Depot range seems to be growing. |

If you need buildings for scenery or objectives, I do some kits for N gauge which might fit with 10mm.
Various houses, a barn, stables, shops, sheds and a church. More on the way, and also want to do some at H0.

One of the gains in 1/144 is bigger battles. However it does off challenges to serious players. Space is till an issue and also location of pieces. We,Maneover Group do 1/144 simple (cheap preint your own) perhaps the bigger gain is that you can "locate" the hoses on a base to keep their exact relationship consistent which helps play no end. With some effort you can scale down 1/72 card models on a printer, the effort is that sometimes you have to re-balence the colours on the printer. For some reason they do not always scale. |
