Bloodaxe

Hello.

My name is Blood Axe or Starslayer on several game forums.  Im an avid gamer, role-playing, boardgames, wargames.  Played Warhammer, Warmaster, 40K , Epic, other miniature wargames.  Found Pendraken from hearing about Warbands.  Great stuff.
Sadly, hard to get in the USA. With the death of Games Workshops - Specialist Game branch- there is an empty niche. WarMaster fans might really like Warbands.
I wish this stuff was easier to get in the USA. Also the extreme lack of pictures is sad. People will not buy minis without pictures.  Ratmen, Dark Elves, others have nothing, no pics at all.
I could only find two places here that will have Pendraken- War Store- very limited selection(great wars mostly) and no special orders. Great Hall Games said they will order anything for me. (great guys!)

I'll be building a Hill Dwarf army. Maybe Ratmen....if I can get some pics.  ;)

Get your stuff out there guys!
And add pictures!!!!!

Thanks.

Leon

Hi Bloodaxe, welcome to the Forum!

Apologies for the lack of pictures, it's something we're working on as quickly as we can, but with 3500+ products now, it's a time consuming job.  All of the new Warband releases will have pictures with them, along with any other new products we release.

On the distribution, once we've got some more new Warband ranges/armies released, we'll be approaching a lot of games stores to see if they'll stock the armies/rulebook full time.  I'd hope that Warstore and GHG will both take us up on that, as we've been dealing with them for a long time now.

Hello Bloodaxe

Yes, it is a problem, not having the ranges pictured, but then as they point out if they spent all their time taking good photos they'd have less time to spend moulding up new figures, casting, making up orders and sending off parcels  :).

For pictures, a search of the forum and a Google Image search turns up pictures usually, except for the the SCW Moroccan Falange Militia which remain some of nature's mysteries.......(an old moan of mine...)

A quick search on Ratmen:-

I appreciate that- but I did check online & found all i could. I saw the ones you posted, but i appreciate the attempt to help. It would be great to have pics of the figure along with codes on the Pendraken site.

Hi Bloodaxe, welcome to the forum :-h

Pendraken's 'mail order' service is very efficient and reliable and has served me well in New Zealand

I am of course what challenges ordering from th UK poses to those in the USA

Feel free to ask questions there are many helpful people on the forum

Welcome to the Forum Bloodaxe, I look forward to seeing your Warband armies in action soon.

Bloodaxe

Thanks all ! I appreciate the friendly welcome & eagerness to help!

I'm in the process of making an order with Great Hall Games (I think,lol) and will hopefully have a force soon.

Welcome to the madhouse I mean forum :D Its been one of the most enjoyable forums I've been a member of.

I've ordered direct from Pendraken twice now and both times received my package in under two weeks, and I'm in Oregon. The customer service I've recieved from Pendraken is the best I've ever had, seriously top notch!

Welcome from me, as well, Bloodaxe.

Hi Bloodaxe. Welcome to the forum.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Welcome, Bloodaxe. By joining this forum, you have passed the first test (i.e., successfully diagnosed insane).  :)

I know what you are saying regarding photographs. On the basis of a previous and satisfactory order of miniatures from another manufacturer (shhh!), I once took a punt and ordered 'non-photographed' figures on the assumption they would be as good as before. Big disappointment. So much that I do not order 'non-photographed' products now unless I have seen them elsewhere. On that point, if you have any queries about what something looks like, you'll usually find someone on this forum who will oblige with a pic.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Hi Bloodaxe,

welcome to the forum.

I'll second Westmarcher in saying that people here are very good at posting pics of items that they have for which there are no images on the website. Not ideal, but definitely better than nothing. Obviously there may be items you are interested in that the people who post here don't have.

Depending on your abilities and personality the pictures of painted examples of figures which are being added to the site will either inspire you to new heights or plunge you into despair at the prospect of ever achieving anything so good :)
