Is the mystery project a full range of figures for the Anglo-Zanzibar war of 1896?

Nope!

I do think it will be pre-C20.  :-

With buildings ...

Getting warmer...

Leopard 1 - can I suggest at least a couple of turrets to cover the different marks ?

Yep, no worries.

Pre C20 ... with buildings ...

It's got to be a new departure, so something like the Foreign Legion with a fort is out ...

Presumably something that people would want to buy ...

Maybe not building ... may be ships?

What about the Armoured Train?

Castle and siege engines is my wild stab in the dark on this.

There are other options for these in this scale, and I suspect that they are not big sellers. So less viable

I know I keep banging on about the Armoured train, which is also probably not a huge seller, but could be used by Poles, Russians, Germans, either as the same train or hopefully would be able to swap bits out.  Ie be able to replace gun turret with Tank turret or A.A gun, thus customising it to a particular protagonist.

The mystery project is certainly intriguing

Keep going on as I would also like to see the armoured train however I don't think it's this.

Unless his Obsidian Majesty misleads us, as is both his power and his right, the mystery projectt is pre C20. That scuppers the armoured train in anything like an interesting form.

My other thoughts (yes, I'm allowed more than one) is Trojan Wars, or the Great Wall of China?

Umm mystery......may be Carlist Wars? or Boxer Rebellion?

So nice Spanish buildings or massive Chinese walls and temples, oh and the legation......

Or how about 10mm Martian Empires?   Colonial Victoriana on Mars, so cool!

Is the secret project the upcoming collaboration with 4ground on their soon to be released Seven Years War rules?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

That is something we're doing but I'm waiting on some info from 4Ground before we make an announcement about it.

Phew! I'm safe.   :^o

Although I find the Samurai fascinating and have many books by Stephen Turnbull, I have never managed to paint a Samurai to even my low standards.

Unless, of course, someone posts something showing how to paint Samurai.

Then I'm scuppered.
