Thanks a lot, much appreciated.
We prepare more Minis but we have a lot of work ahead until September where the campaign begins.

Any comments or suggestions are most welcome.. always :)

Edit: 40mm

The Miniatures of the game have scales:
30, 35 and 40mm

We have few ideas for something bigger but we still want to test it first.

I say, it's a bit rude advertising your product on another company's website old chap.   

If i were inclined to buy, that action alone would stop me.

Edit: and then to find you spamming multiple threads!  Outrageous!!   :o

I'm with you, Luddite.

Leon has been kind enough to create an area for non-Pendraken stuff so this should go there.

And for 40mm I would say the models for a start are pretty poor. Pendraken manages to get more detail on a 10mm figure.
BTW how can you have a zombie ghost - is that the spirit of someone who became a zombie and then died or is it the spirit of a dead person which then dies and came back as a zombie.I don't think either make much sense as one is spirit and the other putrid flesh.

As for for the painting, well they are not my cup of tea but it's OK.

I agree, very bad form indeed.

You could have at least put the post in the right area, or asked first.

The miniatures/paint jobs are a bit "meh" especially for 40mm, they look a tad scruffy, not something to shout about considering your trying to launch a product.  :-\

What's with the Amityville connection? Reading the blurb, it doesn't make sense at all!  :o

Good luck with your board game (somehow i think your going to need it) but to be honest, I'll stick to playing RISK!  ;)

To be frank..

Bad models, bad painting, bad manners.

Have you actually ever purchased anything from Pendraken? I am sure if you had you would realise that 40mm minis with such poor sculpting isn't going to be of interest to most members of this forum.

Move along the bus, nuffin' to see here,

Cheers

Why is the third one sitting on a large turd?

Hey!

Kardafox is the managing director of Mage Company and they have a forum.
What say, we put some photos of Pendraken's wonderful figures up on it!  :d

Only joking but it's tempting!  :D

Not my thing, i do wish anyone the best of luck in a new project but  i do think you should have shown a bit of interest in the forum and put it in the right place or at least shown a bit of professional courtesy and asked Leon or Dave first.

Nice iDEA for the figures and I do wish you luck, but seriously not my thing.
Good luck.

Thanks Mate.


Now to the rest comments:

1. Capthugeca: Not I'm not the managing director. However feel free to post anything in the forum of MAGE. Beside there is such a board for that.

2. Tiny Terrain: Your manners are not good and I feel sorry for that. As for me I spoke to the admins and they know that I never post something here to spam or something but from my excitement alone.

3. I_am_win: The fact I posted something here is because I thought it was right. The only forum I have met a problem or such negativity is here.

At least folks you could say something more politely and explain to me few things since you are older and not start judging, this is something that everyone do. Even If I was really wanted to participate with all my soul here, be sure that I'm not in the mood anymore.


EDIT:
Nick the Lemming: The third is something like serpent-ghost, snake. These 4 minis represent the 4 basic characters of the games which are not alive but killed..basic they were murdered. They live inside the detective's head as spectral projection. The reason we see them transformed like that is because each one of them had a fear to face.

I've moved this over to the 'Non-Pendraken' area now.

I think the reason for a lot of the comments is because this is generally a Pendraken / 10mm Forum, so posting 40mm miniatures with an external link is a little like advertising.  If you had made an introductory post first maybe, letting people know your gaming interests, that might have been a better idea.  Also, we have a specific area for 'non-Pendraken' threads, so this should have been posted down there instead.

I sent a message to: Maenoferren
He replied back to me and explained to me that I could post that in a non  non pendraken section of the forum. He explained to me nicely that This forum is set up to promote Pendraken as a company, not like TMP which is why some people felt I was advertising.

I respect that, and I do not intend to try something similar.

However I'm really really disappointed from the manners of some members. As older here, I would prefer from them to explain to me few things and not pretend something. I'd really like to spend some quality time especially when this time is limited for me.  What can I tell? If I'm so bad feel free to delete my account.

Thanks for the quick reply, I've been away on holiday, so haven't had chance to catch up on things yet.

Usually I don't game at 10mm, not because I don't like but because my time is very limited and it takes a lot of time until learn something cause of the work always.
Since now you said to me how to handle this, I promise I will do the best :)
Again my apologies if I did something wrong. I'm very interested in this forum and in the Miniatures you make. We were discussing with some folks of mine to complete a very stangre army we have in our mind for a game we test now..is still early but step by step we will complete it. The specific scale is something we want to use for our game (not is not published or something, is something for us :)
