I seem to remember hearing the Fantasy range was being redesigned, is that true?  If so, what ranges?

Leon

Nope, nothing planned?   :-\

Locg-term, it would be nice to change some of the larger ranges, like the Orcs and Ratmen, to make them fit in with some of the newer ranges a little better.  I might separate the ranges into two sections as well, like an 'Old' and 'New' split.

Thanks.  Also, would you happen to know the status on order (the massive rat army)?

I'm currently casting from around the 25/26th, so it'll be early next week before we get to yours I'd think.

Hello chaps,

As a matter of interest, which of the Fantasy ranges count as being "newer"? I'm guessing Goblins and Sand Orcs at least but any others you could mention?

I ask as I'd love to do try sculpting a range (or two or more!). I have some examples of my work almost ready and will provide pics sometime soon I hope, but it would all be for nought of course if they don't fit in with the Pendraken ranges, newer/older, whichever.

Many thanks for any info,

Regards, Rob.

What sort of ranges were you thinking of?

I have Evil/Chaotic Knights and barbaric minions in mind, a couple under way already. Aiming for "Eternal Champion" styling. 

But updated Orcs, & Dark Elves, some Evil Dwarves perhaps? I could happily get stuck into any of those.

Any of those sound good, especially evil Dwarfs.

You may indeed! I've followed that for some time now, I am still intrigued as to where it may lead....such is Chaos  ;)

Last I heard, those were not being produced due to not being large enough. :'(

Yep. I'm working on it, tough.  8)

The newer ones would be the Goblins, Hill Dwarves, the various Elves, Barbarians, Beestmen, Beggars, Centaurs, Night Orcs, Apes, Sand Orcs, Tribal Lizards and the Undead.

The older ones which would eventually need replacing would be the Orcs, Ratmen, Gnomes and Halflings.  The Dwarf range wouldn't be replaced, as we've got the Hill Dwarves, similarly with the Lizardmen in favour of the Tribal ones instead.

We're always interested in seeing new sculptors, but we don't have much spare in the design budget for the foreseeable future.
