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?
Dave
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)

Nice one Dave
Important - genitors rode with very short stirrup leathers, like jockeys. They could well be wearing mail too.
Eh ?.....What ? ;) ;D ;D ;D
Dave... Just tell me what you fancy....And I'll make the wee chaps. ;)
Cheers - Phil....I really am NOT having a good day, for a Sunday.
I'll look forward to these.
Would definitely buy at least one pack to add to my newly acquired Spanish army, but please no puffling pants, the earlier types didn't wear them.
Yet more temptation comes my way!

Why should sunday be any different in Wales, and I suspect Dave wants good masters !
I thought Dave had already got good masters. :D
Andy....Some have already got those, I'm afraid.
Kitty...I've done matey with short stirrups.....But mail is a b*gger to do on a mounted figure, as the horse's head gets right in the way of the chest on a figure.

Separate shield which can be glued to hide the sculptural shortcomings in the pectoral zone?

No, Nobby...It won't be the collie. ;D ;D
She IS a bit of a 'tomboy' though. Cocks her leg to have a pee, and does have the habit of trying to h*mp my shin occasionally. :o

What's the best rules for this period? Just in case I ever get tired of bush wars !
I'm confused. Are these guys going to be available to buy, or are they being sculpted for a private order?
I really hope we can buy them, they would "work" for the Italian wars!

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?
I'm a big fan of Irregular Wars, don't need huge numbers of figures for a force, gives a good fun game, with lots of friction.

Thanks Fred, I will check it out. These figures would also be useful for Border Reiver type games and raids.
That they would.
Irregular Wars is aimed at the large skirmish / small battle size of game so good for this sort of raid.
Excellent news! Fills a couple more gaps for Spanish in the Italian wars!
I can feel another Fernando Enterprises painting order and huge Pendraken order coming on...

On that point, are there any 10mm pele towers or border type bastles in resin ?
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.
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.
I can second ER10, they're very handy!
just started moulding the Elizabethans starting with the cavalry command.
Dave
Woo!!
Woot!
Verily 'tis a most excitable Lemmy, clad in cross-gartering and puffling pants.
Blackadder sculpted yet?
No.....and I wasn't allowed to do Lord Percy Percy with that oversized ruff, either. ;)
Cheers - Phil
AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
I wish you lot would stop doing stuff for Italian Wars, I already have loads of 15m painted figures and even more unpainted 15mm for it.
And you lot keep adding to the temptation.
Still there is not a Stradiot in the range, so I will convince myself that I cannot do an army until it is. :) :)

What rules are you using?
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 did but FOGR and after reading it it seemed incredibly fiddly. I have looked at Impetus a couple of times, I am no investigating tweaking Sword and Spear.
3 moulds done - mounted command - officer, bugler, stnd, mounted handgunner ( :-[1 pose) and foot hand gunner (5 poses). Just about to mould the billmen(2 poses) and then the unarmoured pikemen(2 poses).

ADLG are bringing out a renaissance set this year. We've always found the ancients version fun and quick
Far too addled to understand ADLG.
It's like a sensibly written and easy to play DBx - we like it!
Although for Elizabethan stuff I might look at Baroque, the period specific Impetus version...
Period set of Mortiem et Gloriam being playtested too.

If you the DBx series but want something a bit more meaty and less prone to gameyness then they're very good. If you're not fussed about that then they won't float your goat :)
All mould's done, genitor finished finished last night.
Dave :D
Exciting. Are you going to get Leon to take some photos?
Can't wait for 'photos either!
I've put the figures on strips and give them a wash ready for painting, the problem I have for selling them is that I paid for them and not Pendraken!!!

Does this mean that after all the anticipation we're not going to be able to order them from Pendraken?
I do hope that there is a way to make these figures available.
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.

the existing hand gunner is already in the new range making a mixed pack of 5 poses.

I could be wrong but I think "Dave" is actually an off-shore shell company in the Maldives that handles the millions of pounds owned by the Pendraken Foundation Trust
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
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.

Kind of, but not quite...! This might help: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,17250.0.html
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?

If they did I would transfer immediately
Getting back to the Spanish genitor - is it a Pendraken model or not? If not then there goes the chance of rounding off the Italian Wars.
I've had a chat with Dave tonight and he's wanting to use any money from sales to get a few more bits done for his project so these will be Dave's for the time being. Folks can still buy them from him, but they won't be going through the Pendraken site. I'm going to take some pictures for him so that you can see what's been done, and then he can work out the best way of ordering/paying him.

So, if we buy Dave's new Elizabethans, we'll be buying from a.n.other company? Isn't that being disloyal to Pendraken? My head hurts . . . :-X
Is the bloody genitor in there or not? Answer please - it's not rocket science!
If that's the chap with the heart shaped shield, on a horse, the answer's "Yes". :)
Though I can't remember exactly what it looked like, 'cos I've deleted all the pics I sent Dave, and I've done the Greeks and other stuff since then.

Oh well, cheers for that Phil. Back to the 15mm guys then. Getting the 15mm Spanish army up and running would make a nice mid-year project without spending anything (unless my paint runs out).
No sweat, Andy. :)

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).

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.

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)

Thanks, Dave!
Already sent on to Leon, but will send against your address.

I've forwarded your message on Bill, no worries. Dave will be dealing with the orders/queries through his personal email, which is the d.pengilley one that we used to use for Pendraken.
AHA !
I couldn't remember if that one was still live.
Derrrr.

I've sent basic info to Dave at various address, so one will likely connect. My hotmail random filters important email into junk from time to time. Just today an email from Mr. Lemmy regarding the 1689 campaign went to junk - no rhyme nor reason!
I've seen those arrive in the Inbox so Dave will reply to you later tonight I expect.
Don't copy me.....(Only joking)
At the moment I feel like a song from those reprobates 'The Who'....
I'm out of my brain on the 5:15..... :P
Cheers - Someone tell me what my name is......I've forgotten.
Nurse! He's off again!
Two of the green tablets - and the same for Techno.
At the moment, it's one of the pink ones and a couple of the blue ones, Nobby.

So if I was to contact Dave in time I could pick up a pre-order at Phalanx? I am currently putting together Dutch and Spanish for the earlier part of the 80 Years War. Plus, really want some genitors for Gonsalvo's army.

Yes you can

Cheers Dave.
I'm just wondering what Bill is going to have me make. ;)
Pink and blue pills coming up soon...(Just been to see MIL)......Dribble..Flerb...Wlip (sic)
Cheers - Phil
Bill, I'll paint 'em in ten, fifteen or whatever you fancy in the end :D
Just as soon as I clear the back log ;)
The pills! You'll paint Techno's pills!?
Not sure that'd help their function, but sure :D
Sorry, I sort of started that in response to your comment on painting and returning to 10mm, but the conversation had wandered on a little from there!
My ordered arrived this morning. And very nice they are too!
I went for lots of arquebusiers, Foot, Foot with rest, and mounted.
Also a pack of pikes - I'll see how adding pikes to the open hands goes.
And the mounted command.
Really nice crisp figures.
And I got word from Dave, that mine are in transit.
They will get assembled into units (along with other figures), have pikes added, then shipped back to England for Pixie to work his magic. :)
Well travelled!
Not as far as the 'Clicky Mechs' I made years ago. :D
From the UK to the States....From the States to China.....From China back to the States...then the States back to me.
That was quite a journey for me to get a copy of each one back.

Well thanks I'm getting into this period & location of history.
Any good tips on a rule system?
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.

OOH you made those, they were really good. I still have two box files of the two factions I collected. Swordsworn and Highlanders. Must get them out to play with again.

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. :)
