I've just placed an order with Pendraken Miniatures for some of their 10mm WW2 British range and I'm pretty excited. For a couple reasons really, firstly it's part of a birthday present that I've helped my family buy for me (oh wow how did you know I wanted these). Secondly it means I can finally play Blitzkrieg Commander and I Ain't Been Shot Mum in a scale that actually works, IABSM works well with 28mm, BKC less so but 10mm is the sweet spot I think. Initially I thought of 15mm as there's so many amazing minis out there but the price for 15mm vehicles is just too steep and honestly the whole point of playing big WW2 games is to have lots and lots of tanks. I also considered 1/600 scale too, it's dirt cheap and some of the Osmy range have incredible detail for such small miniatures but the downside is that I couldn't see them working too well with games like IABSM.
So $150 or so later I ordered these. The point values are for BKC and are from the Pendraken site so I can't vouch for their correctness. All I know for certain is that I shouldn't have any trouble fielding a 2,000pt BKC force.
Where multiple product codes are listed after a quantity it means that number of miniatures in total is picked out from across that range of codes, not that many minatures of each code. Unless stated after the name each entry is one vehicle/gun or ten men.
Without any further delay here's the shopping list:

1 x BR116 - Command group
1 x BR70 - White scout car (1)
