Yeah, but really what passes for 10mm now is really what 15mm was about 30 years ago. Back then 15mm was 15mm to the top of the head, oops just measured one of my nappys, 16mm to the top of the plume.

But that said 10mm has it all, its cheap, easy to paint, and gives you that mass effect with room for manoeuvere on a sensible sized table. What it doesnt have is the pretty toy soldier look of 28mm, where you have to put a lot of time, effort and cash into each and every figure.

And YES, last time I played God (WRG 6th Edition Ancients) it was in 10mm. :p
