Copplestone has a pretty extensive 10mm fantasy line, all of which is very clearly Lord of the Rings stuff, although obviously they can't call it that. The Rohanians are "Horse Tribe Cavalry," f'rexample. Tempting to pick up some Ringwraiths or something - it'd be more tempting if Copplestone's "10mm" wasn't about 50% larger than GW's "10mm", though.jehan-reznor wrote:Nice Riders of Rohan Dave!
GW's are actually Heroic 6mm scale.The Other Dave wrote:Copplestone has a pretty extensive 10mm fantasy line, all of which is very clearly Lord of the Rings stuff, although obviously they can't call it that.

True enough. But actually just having the Copplestone cavalry near a unit of GW infantry it's pretty noticeable. Not that it matters *too* much at the scale, of course.Primarch wrote:GW's are actually Heroic 6mm scale.
One of the biggest problems with buying from multiple sources is that despite the names, everyone sculpts the same scales slightly differently.
I guess if you don't mix the mini type (e.g. all GW infantry, all Copplestone cavalry), you may be able to get away with it. It works for my 28mm WW2 Warlord infantry and 1/48 Tamiya tanks.
Hah! I remember that meeting. In my case, my wife was there, and so was Sean. At one point my wife and I had to go to the bank desk and wait 5 minutes with the lawyer, who happened to be the only other woman there. While we were waiting, we left Sean (then about 1 1/2) in the care of the remaining half a dozen middle aged Japanese businessmen. Much hilarity ensuedPrimarch wrote:Today I went to a meeting at the bank. My wife was working, but in addition to myself, there were 2 guys selling the land, 3 real estate agents, 1 judicial scrivener, 1 loan saleswoman and 1 guy who sat and shuffled papers, for a total of 9 people. Of those, 8 spoke fluent Japanese and 1 struggles to buy his weekly groceries.
I think everything went ok. I left with a note from the bank saying that I was in debt from now until forever and a handful of magic beans....
I'm considering changing the name of the site to KasugaiHammer, but NagoyaHammer is still more catchy I think.
