June Newsletter - Games Day, Goths and Blaze Markers!

[Leon]

Welcome to the latest Pendraken newsletter!

We're less than a week away from our Big Summer Games Day so it's all systems go at Pendraken HQ!




Big Summer Games Day!

We'll start with a quick reminder that our Big Summer Games Day is taking place next weekend, Saturday 5th July, at Pendraken HQ in Middlesbrough.

We'll have a selection of participation games for you to try, as well as a 10% discount running in our shop all day, plus snacks and drinks available too.  We've got one spare table at the moment, so if you'd like to put a game on just give us a shout!

And if you're in the area, make sure to pop in!




Goths come out of the darkness!

We've had a lot of emails about this release so we're very pleased to announce that the Goths are now available!

Sculpted by the talented hand of Clib, this batch contains everything you need to harass those pesky Romans!  There's also a handy army pack too, containing one of each pack for you to get started with.  Check them out on our website here.




Extra AWI codes!

We've got a couple of extra AWI releases for you now, with some British infantry at trail and Hessian mounted Jagers now added to our already extensive ranges.  These can all be found on our website here.




Litko Blaze Markers available!

Moving onto some Gaming Aids, we've got some new Litko releases for you next, with a selection of Blaze Markers now available!

Ranging in size from 40mm to 82mm heights, ignite your tabletop battles with these vivid fire markers — perfect for representing blazing infernos, magical flames, or scorched terrain.  They can be found on our website here and don't forget that we can order in anything you need from the full Litko ranges.




Maintenance Week!

Every year we take a week in June to carry out any maintenance jobs that need doing in our premises.  This year we had some quite big tasks on the list, including more mould racks for our ever-expanding metal ranges, a new room ready for us to start bringing our resin production in-house and organising all of the 2nd-hand books that we've had stored away.  The resin room in particular should be a massive benefit to our business and avoid the lack of stock that we've seen for a while now. 

Maintenance week has taken us away from the casting machines for a week, so apologies for any delays on your orders.  We'll be working extra hard over the coming weeks to get back on track and get your packages posted out.




Techno's Night Terrors painted!

A local customer asked if he could paint up the Techno's Night Terrors range of 28mm chaotic hybrid miniatures, and he's done a cracking job of them!  These can all be found here.


And finally this month, we'd like to bid farewell to one of our staff members, as Chris moves from the humble surroundings of our laser room to the auspicious halls of Cambridge University to do his Masters degree in Engineering.  He was a really positive part of the team and we wish him all the best for the future!

Who painted the terrors?

Who painted the terrors?

He goes by 'Usiell', he painted the Arab-Israeli ranges for us recently too: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/10mm-post-war-arab-israeli

Excellent effort.

And having to sit up and listen to Techno all night must have been hard work.

[Techno 3]

OI !!!.

He's done a damn fine job on those.

OI !!!.

He's done a damn fine job on those.

He's not the first to try though.
Notes from British Medical Journal, London, 1939.
(Scene - 1939, physicists couch in dusty office, behind sits Dr Freud, on the coach lies Techno, looking exactly the same as he does today)
"So, Mr Lewis, tell me about your dreams?"

A few minutes later, a visibly shaken Dr Freud leaves the office,, carried by two nurses, gibbering.
Techno: "Same time next week Dr Freud?"
