We've discussed Kickstarters on the Forum previously, and how we're not sure how viable they are in 10mm, so we've decided to try a bit of an experiment. After an email chat with one of the members, and the position of these figures in the Top 10 Requests, we're going to use a Mongol range as the basis for this experiment.
So, how it works:
- Below is a list of the prospective range, listed by code, with a brief description of the contents, and the price per pack.
- If you would be seriously interested in a range of Mongols, please check through the list, and work out what you would potentially purchase.
- Make a post here, stating what you would buy, such as 2 x MON1, 2 x MON3, etc.
- If there is something missing from the prospective list, let us know and we can see about adding it to the range.
We are looking to get 'pledges' of purchases over £750 total before we start production on these. There would be no money taken from anybody until the range was produced and up on the website.
The range would be sculpted by Phil (Techno), using new horse dollies for the smaller Mongol mounts. We would estimate somewhere around a 3 month wait from the point we reached our target, to the figures going on general sale and people being able to order them. Once they were on sale, everyone who has pledged would be able to go over to the website and make their orders as normal.
There is no obligation to purchase once the range is made, but please only state your interest if you are serious about buying into it. We can't really offer much in the way of discounts for these 'pledges' but we'll see if we can come up with some extra bonus items for those who have pledged. Maybe some extra General / Personality type figures which would be included as freebies. All of the sculpts would be posted here on the Forum for feedback from everyone.
So, as mentioned above, this is a complete experiment, and we have no idea how it will turn out. Hopefully loads of people will get involved, and a new 10mm Mongol range will become a reality!
The range:
MON1 - Light cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
MON2 - Light cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
MON3 - Light cavalry, with lance and bow (2 poses)
MON4 - Medium cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
MON5 - Medium cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
MON6 - Medium cavalry, with lance and bow (2 poses)
MON7 - Heavy cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
MON8 - Heavy cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
MON9 - Heavy cavalry, with lance and bow (2 poses)
MON10 - Cavalry command (5-6 mixed poses, including camel drummer)
MON11 - Dismounted cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
MON12 - Camp followers + pack horses (4 poses + horse)
MON13 - Genghis Khan + generals (3 figures) - Free to everyone who pledges to this project
MON14 - Yurts (3) - A pack of 3 different Yurts! We'll confirm the price on these once the masters have been made and we've got a good idea of the sizes.
MON15 - Keshik bodyguard (2 poses)
MON16 - Dismounted command (3 poses)
MON17 - Civilians (5 poses) - Free to everyone who pledges to this project
All packs contain 15 cavalry or 30 foot, priced at £4 per pack, unless otherwise stated.
So, that's it I think! Let me know if there are any questions on anything, and please spread the word among anyone you think would be interested in these. The more interest we can stir up, the more likely we'll be seeing these before the end of 2013.
UPDATE - GOAL REACHED, TARGET HIT, COMMENCING MONGOLS!!! - Thanks to everyone who has pledged so far!
Keep the pledges coming though, as the more we can get pledged, the more we can offer to those who have backed this project. Everyone who is on the list so far will be getting Genghis and a couple of generals as a freebie, and if we can hit £1000, we'll do a blanket 10% discount for all the backer orders as well.
UPDATE 2 - £1000 TARGET HIT!!! - Everyone who pledges will now receive 10% discount on their order. If we can now hit £1250, we will add a pack of Yurts to the range as well.
UPDATE 3 - £1250 TARGET HIT!!! - Everyone who has pledged so far will be receiving a free pack of Genghis Khan and his Generals, along with a 10% discount on their overall order. In addition, we've added the Yurts to the range as well.
UPDATE 4 - £1500 TARGET HIT!!! - Thanks to everyone who has pledged so far! As well as the freebies and discount, we'll also add the keshik guards and the camel drummer to the range now. Only 9 days left for pledges, so make sure you've got yours in! The next target is £1750, where we will add a dismounted command option as well.
UPDATE 4 - £2000 TARGET HIT!!! - We've done it! We have hit the £2000 mark, thanks to everyone who has pledged so far! We've added both the dismounted command and the civilians to the range now. Everyone who has pledged will receive:
- 10% discount on your order.
- FREE Genghis Khan and his generals.
- FREE pack of civilians.
We'd best get some sculpting and moulding done now then! :D

This is really interesting and I think a good way to go.
Not wishing to add huge amounts to range but can see a couple of useful additions
Command with Camel Drummer
Dismounted Cavalry with Lance
Dismounted Cavalry with lance and Pavisse
Artillery - mainly with chinese crew
I would buy a large army, at least 2 packs of each.
Plus adding extras to my existing eastern armies...
Great idea Leon,but I am sorry to say not my period of interest :'(
Cheers,
Craig
Tiny Terrain Models
Put me down for a pack of 4,5 and 6 :)
Hi,
You can put me down for 8-10 Packs. for a start ;D
Big_Paul182
l
Yes all of them.
Interesting idea..not my period really but I could maybe see me using some of them as horse archers for fantasy units
Good idea, I'm sure it'll work well!
I'll pass though on the Mongols, not my period or interest at the moment.
Good luck!
Yes please.
Not sure on what combination of packs (until the sculpts are done). But approx. £40 purchase.
Sadly, not my area of interest - but a useful piece of customer research which might well be applied to other periods.
Now I've got 'who wants short shorts' in my head too!

I like the Kickstarter idea, but not with Mongols. Just can't get worked up about east Asian armies. Kickstarter Macedonians and Successors though.
Kickstarter Aztecs anyone? :d
Thanks for the replies so far, I've updated the original post with the totals so far! Couple of queries:

I would definitely be buying two or three of the basic bow armed light horse, up my order accordingly.
Quote from: mad lemmey on 24 June 2013, 02:38:43 PM

2 extra packs, total updated!
£36 of goodies that'd give me a 1000pt Warmaster Hun army to fight my crusaders. Depending on poses they'd probably slot in okay with my Arabians as well.
1 MON1 - Light cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
1 MON2 - Light cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
1 MON4 - Light armoured cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
1 MON5 - Light armoured cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
1 MON8 - Heavy cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
2 MON10 - Cavalry command (3-5 mixed poses)
2 MON11 - Dismounted cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
I'd certainly be willing to pay that if it came down to it.
Sorry but Huns and Mongols look rather different......

These could be very tempting - especially at the back end of the year, in time for Christmas.
What is the planned difference between the light cavalry and the light armoured cavalry? Most army lists (which I know are just army lists) don't put in this extra distinction?
Would an allied/subject light cavalry figure be more useful than 5 light variations (not that more figure variations aren't good).
I'm sure I will be up for £40-50 worth - probably get me back to playing Hail Caesar to get nice Horse Archer rules too!

The lights would be in hats, no armour at all, and then the lightly armoured would have helmets and mail. I suppose 'Medium cavalry' would be a better term!

great idea and sounds like it isnt too massive like some kickstarters
ill go for 2 each code £88

Good luck with the project. Though Mongols aren't for me. How much is the pledging cost per person? And how does a kickstarter thing work?

GENGHIS KHAN
We can add some camp followers to the lists I think, and Genghis would be done as a special bonus figure for everyone who has pledged to the project.
I've added MON12 - Camp followers + pack horses to the lists now. This would be 4 poses of civilian, plus a pack horse and would come in packs of 16 foot / 7 horses, unless people would prefer a different ratio.
Let me know if you'd like to update your order to add this pack in.

Are you going to be doing some Yurts as well, or maybe you already do..the Pendraken site is being funny for me at the moment

Something we could definitely look at, I'll have to have a think on that.
Most games need camps etc in the lists would be good for that
I'd better get ready to order that film that Shedman recommended pretty soon I reckon. :-\

A pack of Camp followers is an excellent idea - put me down for a couple
However it would be quite nice to have a separate non-period specific animal range - eg pack horses, horses without any harness (ideal for both Mongols and Plains War Indians), pack camels, sheep ,goats and cows
If we get Mongols we will also need Russians, Persians, Turks, Hungarians...
just saying like ;)

I've done the sheep....But the cow looks awful...so far.

Leon, what's the likelyhood of this range making it as one of your £25 army packs?
If it's going to happen then scratch my 3 single packs order pledge and put me down for an army pack.

There would definitely be an army pack option, although I don't have a list for the contents at this stage. It would probably appear a little after the main release.
If we can get the pledges high enough, say around £1000, we'll look at offering a discount on every pledge as well as the bonus figures.
Morning Leon I would be prepared to do an army (Love these guys for Renaissance and now doing Impetous for Ancients :-) ) so probably in the vicinity of 100 quid for me as a min.

What about surrounded by his hareem?, if the scientists (or whoever said it) are to be believed, 1 in 200 males today are supposedly direct descendants of his :o
I'd be happy with mounted though :) (that's ghengis, not his hareem - ooh er!)
Cheers
Ry
Greetings
Interested - though I'd need to fit them in a single smallish box.
Who would their (Pendraken produced) opponents be?
e.g. can the existing ranges do any of Mamluk Egyptian, Georgian, Alan, Polish/Teutonic knight, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Seljuq, Russian etc? I'd prefer to avoid fighting an all cavalry army.

Edward

Good morning,
I'd gladly sign up for any figs I could use as Huns - doubly so if sculpted by Clibabnarium :-) in those instances, you could count on me for 2 packages of each, minimum.

It's all about timing!
I'm building a Mongol Army at the moment using other manufacturers, only because Pendraken hadn't done these before. :(
However I'd like some dismounted bows, camp followers and Genghis .... Three packs for me please.
A very warm welcome to the forum to dryerase, rcourt929, and kublabenzine. :-h :)
Rob.
Yes alright....I'll get this bloomin' cow done !! ;)
(And I actually started on some horse/pony dollies yesterday....And the DVD Shedman recommended should be dropping into the mail box in the next couple of days....Hope it's today, then I can watch it over the weekend ! :))
kublabenzine.....
Sorry.....apparently I'm making these wee chaps.....I'll make it a challenge to myself to make them super spiffy ! ;)

If Phil's making them then so much the better :-)
I'd still like to know what (historical) opponents I can build.
Say 7 packs for now (£28) until I do some army list research.
Regards
Edward
I know its Wiki but might give you an idea of the opponents
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Mongol_Empire
A great idea. This might just push me to start getting some DBA armies for the period.
I'd be looking to get 2 of the following. MON1, MON4, MON9,MON10, MON11, MON12 and one MON13.
Looking forward to seeing this range.
This is such a nice idea I'm going to support it. Even if I don't desperately 'need' a host of Mongols. (So many mini's to be painted still.) I'm sure the mini's will be wonderful. And I could always attach them to my Ottoman Empire as early migrating Turks.
You can write me down for the following:
1x MON1 - Light cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
1x MON2 - Light cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
2x MON4 - Medium cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
1x MON5 - Medium cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
1x MON6 - Medium cavalry, with lance and bow (2 poses)
1x MON9 - Heavy cavalry, with lance and bow (2 poses)
1x MON12 - Camp followers + pack horses (4 poses + horse)
1x MON13 - Genghis Khan - Free to everyone who pledges to this project.
optional addition:
2x MON11 - Dismounted cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
And the Warmaster Medieval armylist mentions the use of a Catapult. This might be a nice addition for siege games.
2x MON1 - Light cavalry, with bow (3 poses)
2x MON5 - Medium cavalry, with sword and bow (2 poses)
1x MON6 - Medium cavalry, with lance and bow (2 poses)
1x MON9 - Heavy cavalry, with lance and bow (2 poses)
1x MON12 - Camp followers + pack horses (4 poses + horse)
1x MON13 - Genghis Khan - Free to everyone who pledges to this project.
Great Idea this "non-Kickstarter" can't wait for these guys. Hopefully I discover a good way of painting 10mm horses soon, if I do I will add some on the final order.
Hi Leon
Just realised I could use Mongols v Templars :D
Put me down for half a dozen packs as a minimum pls
Cheers
Craig
Tiny Terrain
Welcome to the forum Neidhart !!
Cheers - Phil.
Welcome too
Leon - put my pledge up to £48 - I'm sure I'll get at least one of each.
For some written inspiration have a look at the Mongoliad saga by Neal Stephenson et al http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Mongoliad-Book-Foreworld-Saga/dp/1612182364/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1372418342&sr=8-3&keywords=mongoliad it is a bargain if you get the Kindle version.
I would seriously love some Mongels, already have a larger scale army of them but in 10mm!!! YES PLEASE!!!
Missing from the range are all the dismounted and infantry types, the Mongel army used conquered nations soldiers in its forces, so Chinese and Persian infantry would be a good addition.
As for a pledge... :-\ put me down for 10 packs as a starter 8)
Absolutely KIMC3 - it is one of the basic wargamers' rights that you can have the same army in more than one scale
I've already got a Mongol army in 15mm
Hopefully the range will expand in all directions - east, south, west & north
Hmm this is really tempting, although I cant think what i would use them for! All in all its a great idea Leon, our own private Kickstarter!
Leon:
Excellent idea! Even though I'm not interested in Mongols I wanted to show my support for this idea. Now, if you ever start a campaign to complete the French Revolution War range or start a War of 1812 range, I'll be first to sign up.
Dale
Thanks for all the pledges, and the comments, very much appreciated. I'll go and update the totals as we've broken the £1000 mark now!

A very interesting idea and glad ro see it's doing so well, but I would be rather more interested in another 10mm range of Mongols if codes were included armed with rifles rather than bows. There would need to be a light cavalry "firing from horseback" code and lancers etc. others with rifles slung on back in place of the bow and quiver.
OK, admittedly of limited use to those hankering to be Genghis Khan but a godsend for us Back of Beyond types and (if you pretendi thery're Crimean Tartars or Kalmucks and do a few mods) those seeking different irregular allies/opponents for C17-C19th Poles, Cossacks or Russians.

Welcome to the forum Peter.
Cheers - Phil.
I just found an email in my inbox from Pendraken about this project :)
I would have preferred the project to be for Huns rather than Mongols, as I'm looking for a historical opponent for my Pendraken Late Roman army. So far they only get to fight Celts/Gauls, Elves, Orcs and Dwarves. That said, these will do as Huns for now.
So put me down for 23 packs to start with. I'll need another 23 packs about 3 - 4 months later to finish the army. I don't mind if you put that down as 23 or 46 packs. So long as we're clear that they will be ordered in two separate batches.
Welcome to Hybrid too :D

Hi Hybrid. Of what are you a hybrid? Welcome anyway. :)
Hello Hybrid
Hello Leon,
I'll have

2 x MON3
1 x MON 4 thru to MON 12
Great Idea and worth supporting.

Mongols were like medieval nazis who massacred peasant farmers as they saw no use for them and rendered down dead civilians' bodies to make fat to grease the wheels of their wagons and siege towers. Shame on you, Kallistra, Old Glory and Magister Militum for making ranges glorifying them. You are each worse than Hitler ;)
Only thing i'd use mongols for would maybe be Easterling or Variag cavalry for a LOTR campaign.
Thanks for the welcome :)

Welcome to the forum.
The Roman armies that fought the Huns were what WRG and DBM army lists call Patrician Roman, which is kind of a cross between Hunnic/Byzantine style armoured cavalry with bows on unarmoured horses and relatively low morale infantry - and with a high proportion of barbarian allies. For some of the cavalry for Patrician Roman the closest figures in 10mm are probably early Byzantines, though Late Roman figures would probably be fine for many of the other units
I did play a battle which i wrongly thought was historically accurate long ago against my brother with me as Huns and him as Late Romans. It was very one sided in the Romans' favour, partly because Late Romans have so many high morale good foot archers and javelinmen that they take horse archers to pieces easily; and partly i think because the WRG 7th edition rules don't represent the unique bows the huns used, which seem to have been much more powerful than most nomad bows, and from archaeological excavations of Hunnic graves were a composite bow with a top half much longer than the lower half (found out about that from Terry Jones' Barbarians series - it'll likely be in the book too)
Huns Vs Patrician Romans would probably be a much more balanced fight than Huns vs Late Romans too.
Here's a link to the DBA army list with background historical info on the fanaticus website (http://www.fanaticus.org/DBA/armies/II83ab.html)
Hello all,
FYI there's currently a 2-for-£10 BluRay deal on Amazon and "Mongol" by Sergei Bodrov is in there, which I recommend. I usually struggle with sub-titled movies (painting/sculpting at the same time) but this was very engaging, spectacular and stirring, so I sat through it and enjoyed it immensely.
This is the link to the deal:

This is the previous release of the DVD with reviews:

Welcome to the forum Hybrid, you will soon over take me in posts, I'm impressed with the progress with the mongols - once we get them out is worth trying with a more popular range (only from my point of view being stuck in the 19th century) :-\

slowed down a bit recently
hope it picks up and reaches next goal
enemies of the mongols i hope will be the next kickstarter
do we have a date for release?
It might have slowed down, as Leon has gone on holiday for a week or so - which, as he said, was rather poor planning after having announced this!
I suspect when he comes back he will have a bunch of new forum members and new posts to sort out!
Yes it has, leons, back tomorrow 8) hopefully with a big expensive present :D

I've updated the total now, so we've currently got £1320 worth of pledges, which is a fantastic response. The Yurts have now been added to the range as well.
The next target will be £1500, so suggestions please on what else people would like to see added to the range!

Hi, just found this thread. You ask for possible additions to the range. My ideas would be:
1) A pack of remount horses already saddled, possibly with one or two warriors on herd duties.
2) I know you are making a Chinggis Khan figure as a freebie to pledgers so how about a commander pack for others, models of Jebe the Arrow, Bo'orchu, Muqali possibly in Chinese armour to represent the fact he spent most of his latter career against the Jin of Northern China and the greatest of them all, Subedai Bahadur, who, legend has it, he had to be carried around on a cart because he was so big.
3) A pack of EHC, all in the same position to represent the keshik or the khan's guards.
4) Siege machines and crews including officers -who could double up as commanders for the dismounted warriors.
5) To go with the Chinggis Khan model, a model of the Great Naccara or camel-mounted kettle drummer that signaled the attack.
6) Unarmed peasants that the Mongols used as arrow-fodder.
In case you couldn't tell, I have a mahoosive interest in the Mongols, possessing four armies already in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm and 25/28mm.
Put me down for a pack of the dismounted archers (MON11) and one of the camp followers (MON12).
Quote from: Just a few Orcs on 24 June 2013, 06:50:18 AM
This is really interesting and I think a good way to go.
Not wishing to add huge amounts to range but can see a couple of useful additions
Command with Camel Drummer
Dismounted Cavalry with Lance
Dismounted Cavalry with lance and Pavisse
Artillery - mainly with chinese crew
Agree with this
Grandmothers and eggs spring to mind. Sorry, missed that one.

Thanks for the suggestions as well, the camel drummer should be doable, as would the EHC bodyguard as well.
Just dropping by to see how this is coming along. I missed the "10% off" bit earlier. So that's a very nice surprise :)

Just had another pledge through by email, so that takes us a little closer to the next £1500 goal!

you need to update all those who said one or two of each as they will push up total by £4 or £8 - every little helps ;)
And get actual amounts of the two with ?? marks (IanRS and kubalibenzine) that should lift the total further.

Well that's the 1500 up:-D
Dad Dad Dad .... Is it much further is it is it is it is it .... Are they ready yet?

Well, that's the £1500 target hit! We will now add the keshik (Khan's guards), and I'll also chat with Techno about adding the camel drummer to the command pack. This experiment will officially close on the 31st July, so make sure you've got your pledge in by then! For anyone who has already pledged, if you can double check that we've got you down for the correct amount, that'd be great as well.

Hi Leon,
Just noticed my pledge to buy an army pack for £25 hasn't been added, It's still on £12 so a litle bump up on the overall figure.
As Asda say (or is it Tesco?) , every little helps.
As things develop I'll probably add to it.

But they wont stop me buying new figures for long,and i can at least give my surport,if not a pledge.

The regular army packs contain 7 packs, which are discounted to £25, but with the discounts on all the project pledges already, you're getting a slightly better deal as you are:
Normal price for 8 packs = 1 army pack @ £25 + 1 regular pack @ £4 = £29 overall.
Not-KS price for 8 packs = 8 regular packs @ £4, discounted by 10% = £28.80 overall.
We wouldn't be able to do an extra 10% discount as well on a pledged army pack unfortunately.

I'm using these for WM so the vast majority (given they'll mainly be cavalry) will be on 20x40mm. However, I will be basing them in 2s, 3s and 4s to represent the "horde" element. :-\

This is my first posting so bear with me if I make a mess of it.
I was delighted to hear that Pendraken are looking to bring out a new range - Mongols.
They have long been one of my favourite armies - from a long time ago in 15mm. Now I am a convert to 10mm (English Civil War and Ancients) I must have them.
If I am not too late I would like to pledge to buy the following packs :-

Not so much of a horde...more a Mongol team building away day :)
Thanks for all the welcomes to a new member of the forum.
I've already found a lot of interesting stuff in old posts, particularly on one of my interests - best, quick, satisfactory painting techniques for 10mm castings.
My favoured technique for small castings is a white undercoat, followed by a dark brown wash over the whole casting. This wash does a satisfactory, quick, final job of the face, of any other flesh and lines all other recesses.
I then paint all the colours using an almost dry brushing, leaving dark brown edging between different colours. The colours are just dabbed in quick, small quantities and then highlighted (including nose and forehead).
I do not try to be very precise going right into the edges where two colours will meet as the brown lining just appears like a dark, shadded recess. It is particularly good with red coated ECW figures.
Of course I finish with a matt varnish. It is a very quick way of achieving a reasonable paint job.
I now realise my maiden speech should not have been under the heading of "Who wants Mongols" but rather under a painting heading.
Just got carried away !

Well 1 figure per baase and you have a dba army with troops left over..or the is over confident like his namesake

1700 surely???
yeah your right...dont know whats happening to me these days
:) Who knows, but at £15 that's 3 DBA armies!!!
Sorry chaps - brain engaged in the boring world of reality and work (cringe). :-[

Hello there
Thanks for all the posts, I've updated the total now, so we're currently at £1728! Not far to go before we hit that next target, so hopefully we'll have some dismounted command coming before tomorrow night!

Please add the following to my order

Best add a couple of packs of MON 11, dismounted archers Leon.
Can we have siege engines at somepoint in the future too? Having read the Conn Iggulden Genghis Khan series, they are important.

Yeah, with you on this one Lemmey: siege engines are a must.
Hi,
This is my first post, so not sure if I'm doing it right.
I would like to pledge £30 for the new Mongols range, I'll work out the packs later.
Cheers,
Al
Welcome, Al, to the forum.
Hi Al, welcome to the horde :)
I think one of the biggest wins for this pledgexperiment is the number of new recruits to the forum: myself included. Kudos to all at Pendraken, keep up the good work guys =D>

We'll definitely look at getting those done as well. The only reason that they've not made it into this non-KS, is because they'd need to fit into a different designers schedule, plus possible low-temp moulding, so I don't want to promise something which would quite likely take longer to reach production. We'll get the bulk of the figures done and dusted for everyone, and then we can add more stuff a short while later.

Okay - I'm not good at resisting my lead mountain. And i know I will be tempted by more than 6 pack. Bump me up to 10 packs. I'll work out what i need whennI start to see greens or similar :)

It's a good job I'm not running Pendraken. I'd wait for two months then put up pictures of the worst Mongols you have ever seen. Include the odd missile launcher or horses with six legs, slender ankles that will break at a lark's whisper, outrageous headgear that would shame a Spanish grenadier and something that obviously started life as a Zulu, and hasn't progressed much.
Fortunately, the Dark Lord and his cohorts are not prone to such practical japery. Although I have no interest in Mongols (my tastes currently being of a more mechanised bent) I am 100% certain that the sculpting dwarves will do their usual excellent job and the figures will be little bundles of delight in 10mm capsules.
I wish the venture well.
Ok update time it is. Add these to my order, please
1xMon 11
1xMon 1 (for a total of 3)
1xMon 15
in total it should be 11 packs or 44£
I'll be definitely getting more but for the beginning I need to start small so I can also paint Ogadais Hungarian foes.
btw any chance of Jin or Song Chinese ;) ?
Welcome to Al from me too !!
Cheers - A Sculpting Dwarf (Don't think I won't forget that fsn....First of all I'm the Borg Queen....Now I'm a dwarf......Pah !! ;) :P)
I originally pledged for 12 assorted packs, please up that to 15 packs, to include the later additions.
Not sure about getting the yurts (is it painful?). Any notions on design and/or cost yet?
Regards, Rob.
If we all add in our P+P it must be over £2000: does this count? ;D
The 'generic peasants' sound good. I'd want a bundle of those as spear fodder for my Asian force.
Oh well he's hoping ;)

I need to do a bit more digging on the Yurts to finalise the designs. From memory, they came in varying sizes, with the biggest being around 30ft across, and the average being 15-18ft. So, we'd be looking at doing a few varieties, so maybe a 20mm / 30mm / 40mm diameter options? That should give enough variety while not taking up too much space on the table. Price-wise, we'll have to wait and see how much resin they take up, but I'd expect them to be somewhere around £5-6 once they reach retail.

Hi Leon,
Well i supose someone has to ask, now we have the mongols,who are they going to fight????? I think we need some new ranges so we can "Crush our enemis, see them driven before us ect, ect. Teutonic knights, russians , chinese or arabs.
What do we all think?
Steve.
We'll have to have a think on that one, and decide where to go once the range is up and running. We'll need to send Phil back to Rome after the Mongols though, to get some resculpted opposition for our newly resculpted Gauls!

Quick question for everyone regarding the Yurts:
From what I understand, the larger yurt would be placed at the centre of the camp, with rings of progressively smaller yurts forming around it. As such, folk will require more smaller ones than large ones? So, how will people be arranging their yurts, and what kind of pack composition would be best?
We can do 1 of each per pack, or 1 large/2 med/3 small, or even code each size separately? What would folk prefer?
:-\
why not sell in separate packs but do a village pack as well containing 6 - 10 models

I'll get the surveys sent out either tonight or tomorrow, and then we can see where we are and which moulds to do first.

We're still working through the production moulds, at the same time as some contract work, so it's taking a little longer. I am still hoping to have some of the orders sent out before Xmas, but it may only be some of the smaller ones, which don't require as many moulds to have been done.

The casting of all the packs is coming along nicely, not many more to do now! So, it's time for the pennies! I've just sent out all of the PayPal invoices to everyone who has placed their order, so hopefully they've all come through OK to everyone. If there's any queries, give me a shout.

Should be, yes. I've got around 75% of all the packs cast, so if I can get a good casting session in on Monday, that'll be them all done I'd think. There's more stock of the Yurt's coming soon as well, as we were a bit short on the Medium size, so everything's coming together now.
I'll also be contacting the people who haven't put their orders in yet, which is around half of the original pledgers. We can only offer the 10% discount and free pack on their order if they get it to us before the end of this month, otherwise they'll have to order as normal when the packs go on general release.

Payment sent - if you can get the WWI guns cast up as well, that would be great.

I'm quite surprised that so many people haven't turned their pledge into an actual order.

Disappointed yes :(
Mongols all done! I finished off the casting last night / this morning, so we'll start getting them packaged up ready for posting out this afternoon hopefully!

The perfect way to celebrate my 1000 post: cheers Leon :-bd
Any idea when they will be available for general release? I made the mistake of not pledging, but these are too good to pass on

Cheers - Phil.
And they've gone! The first batch of the Mongols has been posted, and they are currently en route to their various locations. If you've paid for your order already, it would have been posted today (except for one, which needed some bases adding to it), and I'll send everyone an email to confirm.
Hopefully we'll have some happy chappies in the morning when the packages start landing.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's my order :'( :'( :'(
Although I do have a rather hefty painting schedule :-[
Whoo hoo!!!
Yippee!
Two and a half Pendraken packages in a week.

It's kinda you! There's good news and bad news, as your Mongols have been sent out, but the bases haven't, so we'll send those separately on Monday for you.

I'll get started on recasting that one, and we'll get it sent out early next week. Apologies for the delay, hopefully the package might turn up back here if it's got lost in the Xmas post.
:(
Thank you Leon.

And thanks for getting the French artillery in as well Leon
Excellent all round
Holding my breath to see if postie has mine with him today
Cheers,
Craig
no postman :'( :'(
Mine have arrived. Nice one all! :D
Oh impatient me ;D
I now have my package in my hand :D :D :D :D
They look good and sizewise fit in with my Turks and Poles. That Mon1 is 1mm shorter than a Polish Hussar makes sense to me
Great work Phil, you are a star 8)
Postman heralded by the usual indignant barking of our aging greyhound has handed over a lovely package.
Yay, I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day!
and now the wife is squeeing over the yurts and the camels! Apparently she approves.
When? Where? Why?
Want .. want ... want ....
It appears I have pleased Genoms wife with my little erection....I ll get my coat.
Glad she likes the yurts ;D

I believe my Mongols are stuck on the M25.....due to heavy rain....
Sat in a pub by the A3 looking at the heavy rain and wishing that I lived far enough away to justify a cab :(

The sea's just taken a huge bite out of the main railway line at Dawlish - a place I know well. :o :o :o
Well the good news is that the heat here does not effect figures,although there is some difficulty in keeping, my
dogs off terrain building, as PVA glue seems to contain a fish odour here... Great!!!
Leon,
I was wondering whether this whole Mongol thing was a success in the end for Pendraken, did you get most of the money pledged, is it something you'd consider doing again?

I'm going to do a bit of an AAR for the whole experiment in the next few days, so I'll update when that's up.
AAR? :-/

ok AAR... can I just P&P.....are Mongols in wales? whats the welsh for Mongol.....
Talking of welsh...I asked an interview candidate today for my kitchen, How do you make welsh rabbit?
She said you take the chicken and skin it
boil it plenty add vegetables and flour
add rice and herbs....so on and so on...
I thought s**t my toasting grill will be f****d after that....
I said ok can you make chips.........ha,ha,ha.....
Nice seguay Marie! =D>
It been a long time since I studied Welsh, but Welsh for "Mongol" is probably "yr Mongol". (Remember Welsh for "microwave" is "popty ping".)

My old gran was a sea bandit. She had a sideline in pastry cooking. She had patents on pasties and pies. My sister inherited the pasty recipes but I got the pyrites :D
Can she come to ghana, and bring me Mongols??? ha,ha
seguay... gosh I had to google that.... I must practise my side step more often....
although with dodging snake and scorpions, lizards and such like...I can see more smooth transition
is required....now where are my tottering heels....
Just a quick update, I've added the Mongols to the website: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Medieval-c11/Mongols-sc304/ (http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Medieval-c11/Mongols-sc304/) I'll be doing the pics and a proper release announcement asap hopefully.

That's
too hot......Even for me !.....Mind you, it wouldn't take long to dry the ground out.....It'd be steaming ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil
How would that affect drying times? Would it delay anything vital? :-SS
I've got to watch the forecast now to make sure we're not in for a hot spell.
Techno...its true it does steam (ground) after the rain...
the rocks and stones give off this vapour (odourless to humans)
However my staffy starts going round after rain, just licking stones, like he is on some sort of high..
I think the iron mineral reacts with rain....Its quite fascinating to watch as he drags big stone and rubs them on his body... :)
People always tell me that it's a lovely 'fresh' smell when rain falls on hot ground....
Personally I don't like the 'niff' at all. ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil.

Surprised you can smell anything anyway. Smell is made of tiny particles of the thing you're smelling; by that rationale, I reckon you must have inhaled AT LEAST 30 kilos of green stuff by now; your conk would probably survive a nuclear strike! :)
What I find 'strange' about the sense of smell, is how different 'pongs' appear to affect different folk.
Mrs T can smell certain things.....That I barely notice.....Like someone having a bonfire MILES away.
Then there are the complete opposites.....
30 kilo's of green stuff ?.....Nah.....Not through my nasal passages....Probably through the skin on my fingers though !! ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil
I lost my sense of smell thirty years ago working in a printing ink factory in New Zealand. Some of the solvents we used were pretty fierce. Now, guess who gets sent out to clean up the cat mess in the garden? :'( :'( :'(
I had a stress related olfactory problem about 5 years ago: all I could smell was cigarette smoke. It then changed to aftershave :o
This is more common than people realise; very weird though :-\
yh, my son had a problem when he was twelve he kept smelling what he described as Hamster poop....ha,ha...but seriously it lasted 6 months...
I shot the hamster....lol...no I`m joking we only had a cat at the time....
