Thanks

The project is really coming together, the Saxon Archers have arrived so it's just the last bits of terrain to sort

A river with crossings, 3-4 more huts, a church and some walls to go

Then it's on to beasts and monsters :D

Needed some otherworldly warriors so made some from some old MM ghosts as I wanted them more in the style of the dead men of dunharrow

Corso, your figures and terrain look excellent.

Thanks

I've mainly been on a terrain kick as I need to star working out what to use for the mythical beasts

Corner River section, more useful than simply spliting the board in half and easier to fit in the box



Another dwelling and a well



Start of a defensive wall, decided to make it in sections since it's more versatile and easier to store

Most of those are readily available from Pendraken.
Headeosmwn are good.
There is also an interesting chaos warrior type.
Tigers and lions are available

Headeosmw?

For the dogs head warriors I'm probably going for a mix of the lancer and eureka ones

Most of the rest will be Pendraken

I presume it's these. Nice beastmen types.

Home>10mm-12mm FANTASY>Old>Haedusmen
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

Corso

They look a bit too squat and oversized for my needs

I think we can fill most of those:

Banshee - Undead Wraiths, or Dark Elf Witch Elves, or possibly something from the Undead Necromancer pack?

BlackDog - How big does this need to be?

Big Cat/Cat of palug - Savage Beasts in the Monsters range: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-12mm-fantasy-monsters

Dog Head Warriors and Champion - Our Egyptian Mythology are dog-headed but obviously wearing Egyptian kit!

Dragon - We can supply the dragons from the Dragonmen range.

Dwarves - Hill Dwarves.

Ghost - In a sheet ghost or writhing wraith type thing?  The Undead Wraiths might work here too.

Giant - In the Monsters range again: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-12mm-fantasy-monsters

Giant boar - We've got Boars in the Woolly Beasts: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-12mm-fantasy-monsters

Giant Wolf - We've got a few wolves, there's the smaller ones in the Goblin range, the medium ones in the Dire Wolves: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/fantasy-eldritch-vampires-dire-wolves-fan-vam7 and then some massive ones that we've never done anything with.

Giant Stag - No giant ones unfortunately, just the regular one in the Deer/Stag pack in our Animals.

Hobgoblins - There's some of these in the Old ranges, depending on how you want them to look: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-12mm-fantasy-old

Serpent - Coiled snake or sea hydra type?  Coiled snakes are in the Dungeon section, or there's the ones breaking ground in the Monsters section again.

Otherworld Warriors and Champion - What kind of style are you looking for here?

Tormented soul - Wretched ghoul or an author with writers block?!  Wraiths would be my go-to again here.

Over on Facebook folks are suggesting Pendraken have taken over the Leven Miniatures Range. Is this true? When I try and visit their site, all I get is 'server not found'.

No doubt Leon will make an announcement in due course if the rumours are correct.

Leven make some very nice stuff, I can personally vouch for a fair few different pieces from their ranges  ;)

Nope, that was just one person who'd got confused with us stocking the Battlescale stuff. It shows how easily rumours start though!

I wonder if their website is having problems? There's no hint of any issues on their Facebook page.
