Welcome Bloodaxe (good Yorkshire Viking name). I notice IanRS' avatar is a 'bloody foreigner.'

Welcome to the 'mad house' - otherwise known as the Pendraken Forum, and of course to the world of Warband fantasy (rumour has it that this could be followed by Warband historical).

Hopefully we will see a lot of pictures going up in the next couple of months that should entice a lot more players.

'Ow do Bloodaxe, welcome to the wonderful world of Pendraken.

You sir, are most welcome here. 

OK...

1.  Well done for dipping your toe into Warband.  I hope you find it enjoyable.  Hill dwarves are a nice little army, although i'm hopeless with them... http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/warband-hill-dwarves-vs-goblins.html

2.  Pictures.  Aye.  You'll find it a constant gripe.   :(  Leon and the Pendraken goblins are doing the best to get the dageurrotype machine working, but boy is there a mountain of lead to get snapped.  As others have said, the community helps out as much as they can.

I've got some on my blog, e.g.

http://luddite1811.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/pendraken-warband-fantasy-army-packs_31.html
(there are others too if you have a search about).
jchaos has done some sterling work too http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,287.0.html
...as have many others.

Ask and generally you shall receive.   :D

3.  Pendraken offer the best customer service anywhere.  Best in industry without a doubt.  Drop them a line and they'll sort something out for you.

4.  We have effective firewalls here so very few trolls get through.  As least, not troublesome trolls.  Wierd trolls is another matter...

5.  It's best to avoid bringing up the topics of tanks or Aztecs.  Brace yourself if you do...

6.  This place can be VERY British at times.   :P  Don't worry though, we might tease but we love you all!  Except people from Liverpool.  Or the Welsh.  Or Foreigners.  Or that bloke down the end of the painting bench, etc. etc.   ;D

7.  I'm looking forwards to seeing your colonial Warband painted up and clattering about the battlefield.

8.  I was going for the magic 10. but i feel i've run out of steam... :(

Yeah, so welcome.

I married into a Scouse mob from Aigburth though... :-/ >:<

4. Can't think of a single person that would apply to....More than one....Yes !
6. Do you actually want me to make these figures, or what ?.....Consider yourself reported to the Moderators !
(B*gger...That'd be me, at the moment.  :P)...No.....I've just spotted Gordon's here too !...Huzzah !

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

And a welcome from me too, Mr Axe (or should that be Ax?)

This is a very friendly and well informed forum. There are also so unnaturally skilled sons of a hundred fathers who can paint really, really well.

Some people may lack a little commitment ... so ...

8. There are a number of in-jokes. You'll soon get used to them.
9. It's a great place to ask for advice. Like I say, there are a lot of knowledgeable people around. Take Techno for example. He's an expert on the English Civil War, having carried a musket through most of it (see 8 ).
10. Dive in. The Pendraken forum is like bathing in custard. It's a bit of an odd activity, but more fun if you really immerse yourself in it, and a great way to spend time with friends.
