How about napoleonic casualties.  Gap in the market across most miniature ranges.   Good for game mechanic markers and scenic additions to bases and terrain.  Not a sculpter but a little play with the Awi ones would give the required result

[Leon]

Naps casualties is definitely something we'll be getting to, probably after we've fleshed out the French range a bit.

Personally I have never seen a wargame that included a marching band

One of the guys at the club has one for each of his ACW armies in 15mm

Gobsmacked to see a T35 on the list - does anyone apart from China have enough metal to be able to cast one up? I shudder to think what the postage cost would be! Would it work in resin with metal turrets?

Somebody does - I picked up a white metal T35 in 20mm off ebay a week or so ago. Weighs a ton

Overall, a T35 probably isn't that much bigger than say, a Centurion. It was a big tank (9.7m x 3.2m x 3.4m)  as compared to a Cent at  7.6m x 3.4m x 3.0m, but possibly because of the big turret, the Cent feels bigger.



Anyway. Someone else does the T35 - FSN

Leon good to hear about naps casualties and the other intended additions.  The whole financially viable issue must be a real conundrum/gamble for you guys.   don't envy the decision making process at all (do like seeing the results though)

It can be interesting at times, but the bigger sellers usually prop up anything that's not as popular.

I'd be interested to know whether the casualty figures are commercially successful or not.

To me 10mm means more troops per base and still cheaper than 15mm. But I don't want to remove bases as casualties. I also don't want chits, dice or bits of paper to record losses and unit status. Therefore casualty figures become essential.

As a matter of interest I have in the past purchased one or two items from Redline. They are not as good as Pendraken but the proprietor sends some nice casualties figures as extras in each order. Every time I try to contact them to order some separately there is no reply, I think they are as a company wobbling.

They also produce the basics of  a very nice ww2 Polish Range. I ordered some to mix in with those I have and they are very nice.

Casualties are usually OK, being just a single sculpt and a mould, so if we can shift 30-40 packs of them then we've probably covered basic costs.

So any update on the Indian Mutiny project since August? Is it still feasible as a 3 month project, and maybe do-able this year?

Tiger is definitely done. I got one just before Christmas. Ordered a Tiger, asked for the new model if available as I wanted something distinctive to act as "mothership" for one of my Goliaths.

Now, of course, I want to upgrade my existing Tigers to the new model too. Damn you Pendraken and your clever marketing!

[Dazza]

I hope the Panthers barrel is better than the last one, most of my Panthers have broken barrels

The Tiger is, by design, chunkier than it's predecessor so the barrel is correspondingly more robust.

I assume the Panther will be the same.

That said my Panther's barrels have been fine - possibly because they don't survive long enough on table to receive much handling!
