Is the mystery project a full range of figures for the Anglo-Zanzibar war of 1896?
Oooh! Fingers crossed!  ;D

I do think it will be pre-C20.  :-

With buildings ...

It'll be ... not on the list ...  

It'll be ...

I know! Finally, the chariots ... with pyramids!  :D

I may be wrong, Just worked it out.

A 1:150 scale Great Pyramid of Giza would be about a yard plus half an inch tall.

That would pose a dignificant obstacle on most tables.

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Leopard 1 - can I suggest at least a couple of turrets to cover the different marks ?

Pre C20 ... with buildings ...

It's got to be a new departure, so something like the Foreign Legion with a fort is out ...

Presumably something that people would want to buy ...

Maybe not building ... may be ships?

What about the Armoured Train?

Castle and siege engines is my wild stab in the dark on this.

There are other options for these in this scale, and I suspect that they are not big sellers. So less viable

I know I keep banging on about the Armoured train, which is also probably not a huge seller, but could be used by Poles, Russians, Germans, either as the same train or hopefully would be able to swap bits out.  Ie be able to replace gun turret with Tank turret or A.A gun, thus customising it to a particular protagonist.

The mystery project is certainly intriguing

Keep going on as I would also like to see the armoured train however I don't think it's this.

Unless his Obsidian Majesty misleads us, as is both his power and his right, the mystery projectt is pre C20. That scuppers the armoured train in anything like an interesting form.

My other thoughts (yes, I'm allowed more than one) is Trojan Wars, or the Great Wall of China?

Umm mystery......may be Carlist Wars? or Boxer Rebellion?

So nice Spanish buildings or massive Chinese walls and temples, oh and the legation......

Or how about 10mm Martian Empires?   Colonial Victoriana on Mars, so cool!

You might be onto something with Trojan Wars
