It's the beginning of another month, and we've managed to pull together a massive 46 new releases for your gaming enjoyment!
The biggest news is that we've managed to cram not one, but two brand new, eagerly anticipated ranges into this months offerings, with both the League of Augsburg, and the 1st Schleswig-Holstein ranges making their long-awaited debuts! We've had so much interest in these two lines, and we're sure they've been worth the wait!
A couple of quick notes on the L of A range: As seen elsewhere on the Forum, we've sent a few figures back to Clib for work, so two of the codes are currently unavailable. We'll let you as soon as these are ready for purchase. Also, the pikemen figures come with open hands, so will need wire pikes, which we will be adding to the range in the very near future.
As if two new ranges wasn't enough, we've also added a couple of items to the WWII range, in the form of the Sdkfz 231 6 rad, and also a 76mm AA gun for the Russians. And on the BKC front, we've added new 2000pt armies for 1940's BEF and Germans, and also a Pacific pair of US Marines and Japanese. Full listings of the contents of these can be found by following the links below.
For all the 10mm Dungeon fans, we've finally got the first 5 Theme Packs ready, full details of which can be found in this thread: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2732.0 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=2732.0) There will be more of these coming in the future, so keep an eye out for those!
In the Scenics ranges, we've added a nice little assortment of palm trees to our tree range. At £2.70 for 10, these are fantastic value for money, and would be perfect for anyone currently considering getting into some Pacific gaming. We'll be getting some pics up of these asap.
And finally, we've now got some paint brushes to complement our Vallejo Paints. These are from the Humbrol Coloro range, a synthetic range of brushes that are suitable for all paint types.
So the full list:

Some great stuff there. What size bases are those Schleswig-Holstein figures on?
Cheers,
Andy

Blimey - how predictable am I then??! :-[
Fantastic, just placed my order for LOA figures online. Posibly being a bit greedy, but when will there be some grenadier figures for this range?
Hope they will be multi pose when they do come out.

I would think so yes, and yes!
Do the flintlockmen and pikemen in the LoA range have waistbelts? Difficult to see if they do in the photos.
Oooh palm trees. Any photo's? My dinosaurs need palm trees. Ecologically they don't but aesthetically they do :) 5 packs should just about cover it methinks.

It seems that they have waistbelts, and thus they are suitable for WSS after head swaping.
BTW. Clib, we discussed previously the possibility of making separate pack for AWI, containing obly heads in different headgear.
Could you do the same for LoA - produce pack with heads in tricornes. There could be several "plain" tricornes and 1-2 with plume - for officers.

I've spent last weekend making displays for them for the Falkirk show, so I'll try and take some pics at the show for you.
Leon,
No need for tricorns/head swaps to make the figures suitable for WSS. The wearing of tricorns in WSS is over stated/exaggerated.
Anhalt,
for me, tricorns are characteristic to WSS.
I know, that some armies didn't adopt it as a whole, but I would like to have the possibility to do tricorns in my troops.
BTW if you have any graphic evidence of "LoA type" hats in WSS, please share it.
Maciek,
I am not certain how to place an image on this form, so if someone could advise. I have a picture of a fresco from a church in Wilten,Austria showing the Bavarian Army retreating from the Tyrol in 1703. Not a tricorn in sight. The fresco is contemporary to the event. Do you really think that "floppy hats" were worn in the NYW ending in 1697 and four years later everyone was wearing a tricorn? Highly doubtful. The introduction of the tricorn was gradual beginning with the officers, "a la mode", and then the other ranks. We have 19th Century artists and illustrators to once again thank for a myth that continues to perpetuate itself. Whether or not you chose to have all your forces in tricorn is your decision.
Anhalt, I see it could be interesting discussion.
Let's continue it in separate topic:

When will all new LoA packs become available ?
Cheers Leon that would be cool

Not sure, it'll depend on when Clib can fit the repairs in.
Righty then, due to me being a bit of a dipstick, I've labelled the wrong code as 'Unavailable'. We do actually have the marching matchlocks, it's the marching flintlocks which have been returned to Clib for repairs. I've amended the website, and I'll contact everyone who's ordered them.
Doh! :-[

Anyone have a pic of SV61, the ruski AA gun?

Very nice, my AA regiment needs a couple. I like the artillery officer with field glasses as well, is he a new figure? The seated gunner has some potential too.
For example, while I would prefer Adrian helmets, here's a Romanian AA unit that could be assembled from your German or British guns (Romanians also used the Boffors 40mm) and your Soviet AA crew
http://www.worldwar2.ro/foto/?id=77§ion=6&article=37
Yep, new figure there. For Adrian helmets, a head swop could be a possibility.
