October Newsletter - A Big Acquisition and Some Releases too!

[Leon]

Welcome to the latest Pendraken newsletter!

We've got some more big news this month with a significant expansion to the Pendraken empire!




Pendraken purchases Ironclad Miniatures!

We are delighted to announce that we've reached a deal to acquire Ironclad Miniatures!

Founded by John Lowen in 2005, Ironclad Miniatures has extensive resin scenery ranges in 15mm, 20mm and 28mm, as well as 28mm metal miniature ranges, including an excellent Victorian Sci-Fi range.

For the last decade or so, John has been producing all of our 10mm resin products, as well as modelling new ranges for us, to cover the ACW, Peninsular Napoleonics, Eastern Front, and more.  And after two decades in the industry, John's decided that it's time for a well-earned rest.  We'll be doing our best to keep him busy though, as he's agreed to continue making new models for us!

John will be running a 'Retirement' sale on his website from the 31st Oct to the 9th Nov, before turning his website off, so make sure to head over and grab anything you need before the ranges transfer over to us.  We'll be driving down to south Wales at the beginning of December to collect everything, and we should have it all up and running again ready for the new year.




Caissons for the Napoleonic French and Prussians!

We've got some useful additions to your Napoleonic French and Prussian supply lines, with limbers and caissons added to both ranges.  The French limber was already available but we've now added the artillery caisson too.  And the Prussians were missing limbers entirely so that's now rectified along with a caisson too. Head over to our Forum here for more info: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,23954.0.html




Dragon Rampant Starter Packs now available!

Dragon Rampant 2nd Edition has just been released and we've been working with Dan Mersey to put together some Starter Packs to go with the new rules.  These are very similar to our own Warband starter sets but with some tweaks to fit the Rampant rules better.  All Starters contain 8 units, priced at £47, and come with free 50x50mm bases as well.

"Dragon Rampant is (c) 2025 Daniel Mersey and published by Osprey Games. Pendraken Fantasy ranges are not official products but the author worked alongside us to select the contents."

These can all be found on our website here and the rules are available from Osprey here.




Portable Paint Racks now available!

We've got a couple of quick additions for you next, with a pair of portable paint racks now available. The 'Small' can take 99 pots of any 25mm-width paints, so Vallejo, Army Painter, etc.  The 'Large' has 64 holes for the larger 35mm-width pots like Citadel.

These and our other paint storage options can be found here.




Only Two Shows Left This Year!

With The Other Partizan and Fiasco both in the rear-view mirror now, we only have two events left before we take our year off!

So if you're planning to attend either Warfare in Farnborough on Sat 15th/Sun 16th Nov, or our own local show, Battleground in Middlesbrough, on Sat 29th Nov, make sure to get your pre-orders sent in well in advance and we'll hopefully see you there.


Right then, there's a lot to come before the end of the month so we'll get to it!
