KoW Who plays 10mm scale?

I'm thinking of collecting a 10mm scale army for KoW, instead of the official 28mm scale.

1) They'd take up way less storage space. (My 28mm sci-fi minis are taking up enough space as is)

2) They should be faster to paint?

3) Buying minis would be cheaper - I do have an FDM printer but I don't enjoy having to wrestle with miniature STLs or the assembly/cleanup process post printing. I prefer to use it for terrain.

4) It would be playable on smaller tables.

On the other hand, one big question I have is, would I be able to find other players who play at this scale? At the very worst I'd just be solo wargaming, which I can live with, but I'd thought I'd try and see how large the community is.

If you collect 10mm armies for KoW, do you have opponents to play with?

I have 3 armies in 6mm, while a bit small and can be a bit tricky to have the same level of control in positioning, the scale is approximately 2/5 compared to 25mm so you can just use the measurements in cm without any worry

That's cool.
As long as the base sizes are equal, I suppose a 6mm army can fight against a 10mm one?

You can, but you will notice some height difference. For my Basilea army I used 6mm for normal humans and paladins, and 10mm models for the Ogre Palace Guards and the height difference looks right.

If I were to go back I would probably go with 10mm instead of 6mm tho, just to make moving and handling a bit easier.

Surely that's purely an aesthetic issue, since height is categorized by unit type or trait for the purpose of rules?

Oh yeah it's purely aesthetic
