Pendraken March releases 2014.

Tarleton Failcast resin General (1) £48.60

Muppet !!....You've got the decimal point in the wrong place Luddite !
£486.00 sounds far more reasonable....Do you still want 10 'Goat'...Even I'll have a go if you're that keen. ;)
I'll have to do something in the 'Intro's' soon...seeing as I've been such a coward....And admit I used to work for the Evil Empire....I wonder how many others there are on the forum ?.....Bet it's not just me  ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil

I was their photographer (which is why I get so teed off with my efforts nowadays.....Did have £10K's worth of equipment to play with tho')....Then I was 'in charge' of the figure painters....Then 'in charge' of the figure designers....blah, blah, blah...
Huge fun half the time.....The other half ..... BIG YUK !!
Cheers - Phil.

Yep....'Fraid that's me Matt.
All the old rulebooks, some of the board games, and a few dozen very old White Dwarfs are really all I've got left from those days, now. :'( :'(
I'll have to dig them out at some stage and get all nostalgic.  ;)
Cheers - Phil.

Just had a look at an old (1988) 'Fantasy Miniatures' booklet from GW. Not only does it say that most pics were taken by Phil L, but there's also a small mugshot!  :o

So, Hi, Phil and keep up the good work!

Thanks Alex.
I probably still looked relatively young in those days :-<.....I'd just love to be able to play with the photographic equipment I had access to then.....Having said that I wouldn't have the room to set it up here  ;D ;D. I'll just have to learn to use the all singing all dancing digital piece of ****, I've got now.....
And learn how to paint figures again.....I'm so far behind everybody nowadays ! :'(

Phil, if you learnt photography with film SLR cameras, then you need a digital camera that allows you to take back some control from auto everything. While the cheapest digital camera's don't offer much control, there are many mid-range ones that allow the user to control enough factors (though sometimes finding out how to do this can be tricky - but the internet is your friend someone as probably posted a video or photo instructions somewhere on the web for any and all models of camera).

I currently have a fairly low end Canon DSLR and it is great, but prior to that I had a Kodak all in one with 10x optical zoom, that was a really good camera for under £200 that had enough controls to allow decent mini photos, as well as taking good general photos.

Thanks for that Fred.
You're right....I learnt using a 35mm SLR.....The monster I used in the studio was a 5"x4" plate camera.
I've got two digital cameras....One's a little 'un....But with a fair old amount of control...with fully manual or the different priorities...
That's the one I use to take shots of Wips of the little chaps.....But being an idle git I almost always use it on programme.
My excuse for that is I lost the instruction book....But I've found it now....So I'll see if I can improve with that.

I've recently got a Canon digital SLR....And have JUST started using it on manual...Sooooo.... hopefully I'll have some luck with that too !
The chap who recommended that particular camera is forever telling me to look at 'Youtube' for helpful advise....Just as you are  ;D ;D

Cheers - Phil.

Make sure you get a tripod - even if its just a £10-15 one.

I'm guessing your a visual chap so I thought instruction videos would be more your thing than instruction books  ;)

Still got my old tripod Fred.....And now I've found the instruction book for the little Pentax I can use the tripod in conjunction with the self timer .....Huzzah !
You're absolutely right....Watching something is usually far more instructive than plowing through an instruction manual ! (Bl**dy things  ;))
I'll see if I can made a better job of the photo's with the next batch of the Falkland's figures !
Cheers - Phil.

Don't be daft man. Buy it now, it will only be more expensive in the future / not available / made in resin [delete excuse as required]

If that happens, I may be forced to unleash my Angry Birds artillery, pointing to North Yorkshire. You are warned  :d
