First look at the Aztec sculpts!

[GrumpyOldMan]

Why can't I find a piccy of the painted Gauls in 'the shop' ?  :-

Me, not looking in the right place ? (Probably.... )

Cheers - Phil

They're lurking in Early Imperial waiting to spring upon the unwary😀😀

These are amazing. Looking forward to their release.

Thanks, Vic.

Thought it was probably (almost certainly) yours truly getting it wrong, again. 

Cheers - Phil

These look great - if only someone would make werewolves that good

[Tarty]

oh oh oh .... these look fun. Very nice indeed

[FierceKitty]

They're going to look even better painted.

[Blaker]

Good to see Aztecs. Cant wait till they are ready for sale! Great looking figs

Dave's moulding these while we're closed so they should be ready for release in the next couple of weeks.

[Glorfindel]

These really are nice - some (more) lovely figures to tempt the wallet.

Just one quick question - do they have any enemies already on the
Pendraken shelf ?   

On the fantasy front, I have Warmaster Lizards, so could use a proxy list
for the Aztecs.   

From a quick squint at Wikipedia, it appears that their historical enemies
would be rival city states (who, I assume, would use similar weapons) or
the Spanish.

This is the first time I've even looked at a potential Aztec army so would
be interested to hear from those with more know how.

From my own limited knowledge, they can fight themselves in localised tribal conflicts as you say so that's one option.  They can also fight sections of our Elizabethan range but we'd need to add some specific Conquistador sculpts to complete that range.

Has anyone explained to Dave what being closed means
Not you Leon, you don't appear to understand either

Unfortunately with Dave working the day job still, he has to go in over the breaks to keep on top of his workload.  We're working on fixing that though, we had a new caster start before Xmas and there's another starting on Jan 9th.

I struggle to take time off, I get bored sitting around and usually do some work to avoid having a massive pile to do when we go back.

Ooooh,yes please. Can we take this as a promise . . . ?

Cheers, M.

Great to hear you are able to add more casters and so hopefully will spread the workload
I'm surprised M'Lady hasn't got a long list of things for you to do

All your and the team's efforts are much appreciated

I did get drafted into wrapping some presents but luckily it was only a few.  I'm wanting to do a 19th C. diorama this winter but I've not found time to get it started yet, maybe next week before we go back to work properly.

All your and the team's efforts are much appreciated

Nice find Glorfindel, thanks!

[Steve J]

That is one very useful link. Thanks for sharing. Some of the descriptions could easily be used with fantasy armies, so may come back to this in the future.

[FierceKitty]

Time to post this one again, now that we're all getting out our obsidian paintbrushes:

When I clicked on the link I got a nasty big read screen with loads of safety warnings about the site!
