Title: elizabethans
Post by: Dave on 14 October 2018, 01:06:17 PM
For my self I'm currently adding figures to the Elizsabethan range (not a Pendraken planned range just me out of my own pocket) e.g

3 x Mounted command
4 x aquebusiers
2 x musketeers and rest
2 x unarmoured pike
1 x mount aquebus

I see on the request list a mounted spanish genitor, can somebody send me a picture(s) to work from?

The most distinctive feature of the Genitor (aka Ginetes) is the heart shaped shield, derived from the Moorish ones.

My mental image comes from Ian Heath's line drawing (tagged b here)

A bit like an unplanned pregnancy   ;)

Seriously - I remember 1988 - there was a spate of demo wargames in 25mm to commemorate Spanish Armada and "what might have been invasion".   Lots of Tudor era houses for scenery and perhaps a few 1/144 or near enough ships/galleons.

What rules are recommended for the period?

Thanks Fred, I will check it out.  These figures would also be useful for Border Reiver type games and raids. 
Title: Re: elizabethans

Irregular Wars is aimed at the large skirmish / small battle size of game so good for this sort of raid.

Title: Re: elizabethans
Post by: jaztez on 22 October 2018, 01:56:03 PM
The glaring gap now is a generic early sixteenth century unarmoured pike set with a few different hat types, for French, Italian, french etc, or just filling the ranks with the armoured figures at the front.
Title: Re: elizabethans
Post by: Leman on 22 October 2018, 04:49:10 PM
ER10 Early  C16th European pikemen are a terrific little pack. Some of the Scots pike, Landsknecht pike and late medieval armoured and unarmoured pike can be added to the mix to produce some great looking French/Italian and Spanish pike units.

Impetus (15mm and mostly BI2 these days), To the Strongest (28mm), FoGR (10mm). Can't decide what to do with my 6mm, but will probably put them on big bases to make dioramas then find something I can use them with.

I'll have a chat with Dave and see what we can work out.  If these are going to be added to the Pendraken catalogue then it would be better to remould the existing Elizabethan range and include these new sculpts, so the existing pack of single pose Arquebusiers would become a 2 or 3 pose pack, the Musketeers would have an extra pose, etc., etc.

Pendraken Miniatures is merely a front to put HMRC (10mm Elizabethan Dept) off the trail of the Foundation's secret plan to recreate Elizabethan England in 10mm in Middlesbrough on a 1:1 scale

As I said I could be wrong

Title: Re: elizabethans
Post by: Leon on 15 January 2019, 04:40:26 PM
The difference with these is that they weren't sculpted as a Pendraken job, this was a personal project for Dave.  So he's paid for all of the sculpting work out of his own pocket, rather than Pendraken paying for them.  If we add them to the Pendraken site and sell them as normal then we've got to pass that money to Dave (and Pendraken would be liable for the VAT on those sales) so it's just a bit messy.

You'd have to probably buy the masters/moulds off Dave but then is it a viable purchase for Pendraken (what with all the other new ranges)  :- so, yeah, tricky I guess.

How about put images up - take potential orders (kind've of mini non-kickstarter) and buy off Dave if the interest is there to cover the cost?

The short answer is No.

You will not be buying from a company, you will be buying off Dave Pengilly who has had a personal range of figures made.  He will cast them up in his workshop for you to cover some of the expense in producing this range of figures.

It just so happens that this Dave Pengilly co-owns Pendraken with Leon, and his workshop is the Pendraken unit.

The genitor is done and production moulded along with the other figures, if you want some figures from the list I've had done personally for myself, you would have to pay me direct ie a old fashioned thing called a cheque or leon was on about setting me a personal paypal account.  The cost of the figures will be without VAT added this would be £4.35.  The figures are based and washed ready for photographing over the weekend.   As Leon has already said any money I get back I'll pass to Phil to get more figures done.  I didn't think me getting a range down would course this much stress ;D

Correct, I'm using this to get some money back to get more figures done, currently I've invested £500 in the masters, thats my limit so any money back will do extra figures and on that I'm open to ideas (hopefully I haven't opened a can of worms here).

Does anyone under 40 actually possess a cheque book?
Title: Re: elizabethans
Post by: Techno on 21 January 2019, 07:18:39 AM
We've still got ours. (Yes.....I know we're not in the under 40 bracket).

But I'm d*mned if the Inland Revenue are going to force us to use online banking, so it's easier for them to get paid.
They can make do with a cheque !  :P

 ;D ;D On the news this morning it mentioned the fact that HMRC won't take credit card payments any more (and I don't think the DVLA will either) thus a cheque book is now a necessity again (EU legislation has made charging for using a credit card illegal - that's how skinflint the British government is!).

I think the no credit cards thing is something to do with not putting tax payments on credit rather than anything to do with the fees.  I don't know the full reasoning behind it, but basically you have to pay your taxes immediately, rather than the bank paying them and you potentially defaulting on the credit card payments.

The line Cold news for me, for I had hope of France (spoken by the Duke of York) occurs in two locations in Henry VI part 1. Does your simian scholar have any opinion which is correct? The text is obviously corrupt.

Maybe he's trying to introduce it as his catchphrase? A fifteenth century version of Shut that door! or Stupid boy! maybe?

They ('we' 11 years ago) don't want people taking on high interest debt to pay tax.  When I was a Collector we we weren't just debt collectors - our aim was to get you on a stable footing so you could continue to earn, we didn't go for a quick hit.  The best way to treat me was to be honest and co-operative. There was a grey area of what you would offer, what I would take, and the line I couldn't cross. The more honest and co-operative (and that means keeping to promises) you were, the bigger the grey area.

Thanks Fred, I will check it out.  These figures would also be useful for Border Reiver type games and raids. 

Apart from playing a raid and the hot trod over the Debatable Lands, we could add the Desmond & O'Neill Troubles in Ireland, and Dudley little sortie into the Spanish Netherlands

Or a Spanish raid on a south coast town? Lindbergh have an Ark Royal in 1/160,  Airfix did a 1/144 Revenge. And although a little early in period the 1/144 Columbus set of a carrack and two caravel.   :)

I am a simple man (or simpleton if you prefer). This thread has been agony. I want to do Ireland 1569 - 1601. I wanted to do it in 10mm.
Instead I switched to 15mm to get the pose variety. I have buyer's remorse. Not that the 15s aren't nice enough but the 50% increase in size simply no longer meets my aesthetic (which was more ingrained than I thought).

I have now seen Dave's new figures - I like them - I want them. Do I send an email to Dave?

I am also old - the Irish figures (ELM 12 & 13) need more poses but likely will not see an expansion any time soon. As (imho) Kerns and Bonnachs are interchangeable - 5 additional poses would help - can I commission these directly?

Likewise the gallowglass (ELM 15) could use 2 or 3 additional poses. Same question as above.

Toxic Pixie has watched me change my mind (what is it Pixie, a half dozen times?) on what I will send him to paint. He is a patient man and a gentleman painter (who is also kicking my ass in a campaign-by-mail game), I would like to get something into is painting queue.

As to the 15s I now have, some will be kept for skirmish level, some will make a HOTT army, some will be gifts, some will be traded, some will be sold, some may still end up with Pixie for painting. (They were my Christmas gift from my wife and I will have some explaining to do)

This whole post feel like an auto-da-fe  :-[

I'm a fan of Irregular Wars - aimed at this period in history, but world wide in scope.

Its a small battle game, which feels appropriate for many of the actions in the era. Has quite a bit of randomness in the selection and setup of the armies, which again feels right, the game mechanisms are good, and give a good game, with enough strategy in it.

In the game each base represents a company of men, with a force consisting of around 10-16 bases.

I've a big box of those too. Eyesight got too shonky to read the dials and or distinguish colours. Keep meaning to try them with one of the new Battletech rule sets.

So many projects, so little time!

Must check Evilbay and see if it's still possible to pick up one or two Clan Mechs without selling a kidney to pay for them. :)
