10mm

SO the boys at the shop have me researching for a project of theirs and I've got a couple of questions. First, is the Warmaster stuff 6mm or 10? I've seen it referred to as both.

Second, how bad is the 'scale creep' between 10mm manufacturers?

Thanks guys!

Warmaster is 10mm, but I don't know anything about the scale creep. Also not sure whether they're 10mm foot-eye style or true 10mm, it's been a while since I saw any.

The 6mm reference might be down to various manufacturers putting together units in 6mm for warmaster derivatives such as the Ancients rules.

10mm scale creep is quite bad

Hmm, Ok. Here's da cunning plan. There're going to use this:

And instead of just using the cards they're going to get these card sized pieces of balsa and pack as many 10mm on them as will fit. I must admit to being tempted by this one, even if they are way too small.

So what I really need to know is if Pandragon, Copplestone, and GW figs will work together as between them they fill most of the army slots.

Scale creep in 10mm is pretty bad, with some models being actually 8mm and others being 12mm! But most ranges are pretty complete so its not always a problem.

Exactly what I needed to know hobbit, thank you. As of this moment am the only one who actually has stuff on order for this project, and just as predictably given my contrarian nature I went with the Roman/Carthaginian box set instead of fantasy...

We've mixed GW BoFA with the other warmaster figures and for the Ork/Gobbos at least they work fine.
Don't forget magister Militum as they have a large 10mm range of figures that works well with Pendraken and have plenty of Medievals that might fit your needs.
Kallistra make the 'Hordes and Heroes' range which were originally Pendraken figures but on strips. However they seem to be larger which is a bit weird!!

IIRC the standard base size for Warmaster is a 40mm frontage by a 20mm depth. It was designed for 10mm, but you can use 6mm.

I currently use 15mm for Warmaster Ancients, but have had to increase the base size to 60mm X 30mm in order to fit horsies on without overhanging the base.
