Sci-Fi Revamp - It's Here!!!

[Leon]

In case my question was missed - are the Alien Creatures new or same as before (which they look to be)?

They're the same, although they've been remoulded so they're cleaner castings.  The new stuff is the Marines, heavy weapons, power armour troops, drones, zombies, survivors, grey aliens and termination robots.  Everything else has been cleaned up and remoulded where necessary.

Excellent! I like the new miniatures. Great works!

[Matt J]

very nice, I'll be adding a zombie horde to my next order.

Quick question £5 a pack, is that because masters were funded by Phil? (hope this question isn't too impertinent, slap me down if it is, just interested is all - at £5 they are still great value)

Not too sure what you mean by 'funded by'? 

We've paid for the sculpts as we do with any range, the price difference is really down to the number of variants in the pack (9), and the corresponding prices of the other Sci-Fi codes, which have always been slightly higher than the historicals (don't ask me why, they just have!).  So, if 10 figures are £1.80, then 30 would be £5.40, or £5 if we knock a bit off.

As Matt says, still great value.  Any plans to revamp any of the fantasy range?

The new sculpts blow the old ones away PLUS, with the Evil Empire's ditching of Warmaster, could be a good earner.

Nice one, expect an order from me in the next week or so!!

Damn you Leon, now I'm going to need all my 15mm zombie stuff replicated in 10mm!!

Possibly, maybe not a revamp, but we might look at cutting some of the older sculpts and putting them into a separate section at a slightly cheaper price.  Then the good quality ranges can be pushed more for the ex-GW 10mm guys, along with maybe some rules.

We do have the new Balori range to come as well, probably at the start of 2014 I'd think.

PS: 10,000 posts!

When was the last time I told you how much I love like you? 

[Matt J]

Not too sure what you mean by 'funded by'?

provide the sculpt/range for free then take a cut on any sales of that range. Which would make sense if its a bit niche and the sculptor just wanted to do them.

demand for zombies is a no-brainer though!

Ah right, I'm with you now.  We don't touch royalty deals, it's far too much paperwork, and ties you in to a neverending obligation which can become a hindrance over the longterm.  We're much happier to pay a fair price for any work, and then we live with the success/failure of the resulting ranges.

[Techno]

Ah...right...
I was wondering what Matt meant too.
As Leon says though, the paperwork can end up being a right royal pain....To such an extent that in the past I've been asked to remake old 'royalty based' figures to take those out of a certain firm's range where the original designer was getting something around $1 per year per figure.
The firm was ending up spending more on keeping track and paperwork than the royalties they were paying, so the simple solution was to 'dump' the original models and start afresh.
Hope that makes sense !

Cheers - Phil.

I blame the greedy sculptors

Isnt that what Pendraken do to their customers?...by producing new lovely ranges all the time we feel obligated to buy them

I blame the greedy sculptors 

I WISH !!
