Warband Rules!

[Luddite]

No worries.   

[Nosher]

What sort of prices will the army packs be?

Will you be doing any 'deals'? buy two armies and the rules etc??

[Steeleye]

Although I wish every success to Pendraken with their new Warband rules I won't be buying them...I simply do not buy rules I prefer to write my own.

What I am interested in, however, is the revamped (how do you 'revamp' a 'vamp'? Bite him/her on the neck twice perhaps?) fantasy range. I'm planning on buying a Goblin/Hobgoblin army and I'm wondering should I buy the 'old' range now (I always thought the Goblins were some of the best figures in the Fantasy ranges) or should I wait weeks, months, or possibly years for the 'new' Goblins to come out.

Although I cannot praise Pendraken figures enough, it has to be said that if Pendraken has a fault its the time it takes from announcing that a new/revamped range will be coming out and the figures actually appearing!

Any wild guesses as to when these revamped figures are likely to appear?

We're looking at £25-£30 per army at the moment, I just need to finalise the army pack compositions.  There will be a deal for two armies plus rules as well, but I need to figure out how to work that on our website, as the rules don't have VAT on them but army packs do...

The new figures are all moulded and ready to go, so they'll be released at almost the same time as the rules. 

On the delays to the releases recently, we've popped up some info about that here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11210.0.html

Drop the price of the rules when calculating the army packs, so that when VAT is added the customer still pays the regular price for the rules? Or is this a problem for keeping track of VAT?

[toxicpixie]

Probably a sod for vat tracking like that. Just add a link button to add the rules as a Separate item line - so no "all in one" pack but as easy as possible to do together?

It's just a hassle with the paperwork side of things, as a single deal the website won't recognise that the rules are VAT-free, so would add VAT to them.  So UK/EU customers would be paying VAT they shouldn't have to.  If we reduce the total price to compensate for that, then the non-EU folk would get them even cheaper as the VAT would be taken off...

That would be great, but the website software doesn't allow for adding buttons like that, we'd need the webguy to build that into the site. 

We'll figure something out!

Can you do a discount code for the webstore, so the rules + army packs are added then the discount is applied?

[Ironduke]

Sounds great, i don't see any problem, I'm guessing the movement trays won't break the bank, then at the end of the game, hey presto lift em out, can't wait to get my hands on the rules, I'd relish the chance to review them

Not with this current website unfortunately, Matt's working on some updates at the moment which should add some new functions for us.

[toxicpixie]

As a work around could you pop a comment in using Disquz with the hyperlink to the rules?!

Wonderful news to my ears.

Yeah forgot not everyone is as lucky as us who have to pay tax

Maybe just add a link to the rules in the description of the item , if that's possible

Hi Leon,

Do you have any better idea now if you'll have any of these to show at York this weekend?

Cheers,
Jim

The figures won't be ready in time for the show, but we are hoping the rules will arrive from the printers in time.  We might cast some up and bring them for folks to look at, but we've not got all the packaging sorted for them yet.

[Aquahog]

Step 1 Grab plastic bag
Step 2 Put miniatures in bag
Step 3 Repeat as desired
Step 4 Sell the bags to happy customers who don't care about packaging
Step 5 Get filthy rich and spread the ten mill gospel.

You know where to send the money for my business consultation services.

Well, I'll be dropping by your stand anyway, so I guess I'll see what you've got on the day! ;^D

We could do, but we're wanting to make these look a bit more professional, so proper blister packaging and everything!

No worries, we'll see you there!

First time for everything I suppose
