Top 10 Requests! (Jun '12)

[Leon]

It's been a while since I've updated these, so without further ado, here's the brand new Top 10 Requests!  We've ticked off a few from the last list, so there's some interesting new entries this time around, with Fantasy and Sci-Fi gaming getting a lot of interest.

Top 10 Ranges:

1.   'Chaotic' Warriors - NEW ENTRY
2.   War of 1812 - NEW ENTRY
3.   1920's/30's Gangsters
4.   Indian Mutiny
5.   Mongols
6.   Fantasy Bears
7.   Aztecs
8.   Yom Kippur
9.   Napoleonic Wars in India - NEW ENTRY
10. Korean War
 
The previous number 1 was the Falklands range, which has been ticked off and will be making it's long-awaited appearance very soon.  This has been replaced with two new entries, coming in right at the top.  We'll be getting to the 1812 stuff once we work our way through the rest of the Napoleonics, so that one will definitely be getting done.  The Aztecs have also managed to jump up a place.  The casualties who've dropped out of the Top 10 list are unfortunately the French Revolutionary range, and the Gran Chaco War.

And, Top 10 Items:

1.   WW2 Refugees - NEW ENTRY
2.   'The Walking Dead'/Zombies - NEW ENTRY
3.   Dark Ages civilians - NEW ENTRY
4.   AWI Cavalry in tarletons
5.   WW2 Italian artillery
6.   Celtiberian Warband - NEW ENTRY
7.   Colonial Fuzzy-Wuzzy on camel
8.   SYW Musicians
9.   Werewolves - NEW ENTRY
10. Extra WW1 foot poses - NEW ENTRY

We've got three new entries who have jumped to the top of this list, with another mix of historical and Fantasy/Sci-Fi requests grabbing the attention over the past 12 months.  The WW2 Refugees have had a good amount of interest, so we'll have a look at getting those done sooner rather than later, and Forum member Doug will be happy to hear we'll finally get some of his civvies sorted as well!  

As a result of those, a lot of things have been bumped down a few places, and things like the WW2 Personalities, and the SYW Sepoys, have disappeared for now.  Most of the vehicles have also disappeared, although a lot of these have been passed to the designer now, so they'll be taken care of.

So, interesting stuff all around, and we'll be setting aside the whole of August for one of the designers to work on some of these items.  We'll be putting up some new threads to ask for some input as well on this, so keep an eye out for those.

If anyone would like to compare these new lists to the previous Top 10, it can be found here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,3216.0.html


So, hopefully that's everyone completely satiated for the time being (   ), but if there's something you can't believe isn't up there, or you're ecstatic to see what's coming soon, let us know what you think!

Very very happy to see 1920/30s gangsters hanging in there.

Is the sci-fi "dungeon" anywhere in your future plans?

Cheers, Andy

I see the fantasy bears are still holding on there. Not sure what references you'd need to sculpt them.

It is, definitely, I just need to finish off the module pieces I've got on the side here and get them moulded up.  I'll see what I can get done in the next week or so, and throw some pics up.

Warsaw Pact infantry to go against Falklands War Brits would be good! Spetsnaz (not sure on spelling ) Cold War commander 2 cant be far away

Uz is rit -

And I'd agree. Then we might get some more TANKS

[mad lemmey]

Is the new Goblin Mage in that same batch, since it was all sculpted by Techno?

It will be, yep!

[Sandinista]

Are the Mongols likely to get done?

[Leon]

Are the Mongols likely to get done?

I'd think so, yes, but I'm not sure on timeframes.  The designer who would be doing them is the current Naps/ACW guy.  Now the Naps are going to keep him busy for quite a while, so other ranges need to fit in around those.  At the moment it's the ACW, then we'll be doing a quick range of Plains War stuff to fit in with that.  After that I think it'll be Indian Mutiny ( )... and then we should have a gap after all that!

 

[i_am_win]

Glad to see the chaotic warriors hopefully getting a range. That will have to be a new warmaster army for me now then!

[Martyn]

Indian Mutiny soon? Please. A special request: I did this years ago using the Foundry 25s and the model I really liked the Elephant hauling the limber and siege gun with a multiposed naval crew? Could you do that in 10mm Please! Please! that would make a really nice model. Good choice of period definitely buy (but only if elephants included! )
