A huge and comprehensive range please... pretty please....

We'll see what we can do...

We could use some French, Russians, Austrians for the 1805 period (I want to do Austerlitz in 10mm).

[Leon]

The Napoleonic range will be getting completely redone in the future, hopefully over this year, ready for release in early 2011?

[CATenWolde]

This is great to hear - is it a serious plan?  I know that as someone who has talked up 10mm Napoleonics for a long (long, long) time, I've revealed myself as a terribly picky old git by not really liking the Old Glory "strip" approach or MM's sculpting style.  GHQ seems to be doing a credible job at slow-and-steady expansion (but would prefer marching poses...), and Bend Sinister the same, but a comprehensive Pendraken range at the same standard as the SYW range would be perfect!

I'm more than happy to put my projects on hold for a year if the plans are solid.  It might give time to "clear the deck"!

Cheers,

Christopher

We've got a lot of stuff on at the moment, but the Napoleonics will be getting done at some point soon.  We've got a rough deadline we're working to, but it's fitting it in around other projects.

Hi everybody,
No, the war beetween french and allied don't begin in 1800. We could have some beautifull figures for the 1780-1799 period. 

[Ben Waterhouse]

I second this

[Coracero]

I second this also and nobody does it in 10mm!

[Leon]

That's a quick three votes!  I'll add it to the list!  We've got a range of Rev. Austrians already.

[Nicofig]

Thanks for this support

It would be great to see a large Pendraken Napoleonic range. I too would be up for the 1905 period armies. No cast on flags please!

[dopplebockdunkel]

Thats 1805 of course!

[duc de limbourg]

Are there any pictures of the Austrian range somewhere.
On this moment I thinking about starting the french revolution as a new period, never saw them in 10mm

[Leon]

I'm not sure if anyone else has any pics of the Austrian & French Rev. ranges anywhere.  I'll try and get some taken, but not sure when as we're busy getting ready for a show this week.

[Leon]

I'll make a note of the 'no cast on flags'.  That way we can sell you some flags as well!

[Last Hussar]

Phew- gives me an excuse to wait till next year before going over the top in another 10mm period!

Personally I'd like to see single pose packs- a unit doing 3 seperate things looks a bit odd.

2 flag poles with the Brits please!

And not just flags. I cant wait to see your EE (Early Empire) line. If you deliver and produce 1806 Prussians and Saxons and early bicorned French voltigeurs and whatnot by 2011, I can assure you there's a lot more you can sell me, including your mother in law. I'm really pleased about this news. It is obvious that a few posts in a forum do not a market niche make, but this thread alone must be worth a couple thousand quid in prospective Pendraken orders.  

Cheers,
Aart

--------Personally I'd like to see single pose packs------------

Ouch, I am exactly the opposite.  I like dynamic units composed of multple-poses as with their AWI, Late Roman and most other Pendraken lines.  Single pose figures look like a line of statues rather than a unit of troops-way too much of a static look. 

And right now, every manufacturer is single pose for Napoleonics which is the primary reason I haven't done Napoleonics in 10mm. 

[Leon]

It's a never ending debate between single/multi pose packs.  At the moment we're leaning towards single pose.  We could maybe do a slight variation of that pose, but by doing two completely different poses, you immediately double the time/cost needed to get the range designed.  If you look at the way our SYW/Marlburian ranges are structured, we'll probably do something similar to that, and then people can mix and match to their hearts content.
