Plans for 2026 - Our most productive year ever!

[Leon]

Right then folks, as 2026 is going to be our Most Productive Year Ever^TM, it's time for a big list of what we're looking to achieve!


Future War Commander 2nd Edition
We can start the new year with a bang, as Future War Commander 2 is now complete and available for pre-order here: https://www.pendraken.co.uk/future-war-commander  The book will be shipping out at the end of this month so get your copy booked now!

10mm Sci-Fi Ranges
With the rules done, one of our first priorities will be getting 3 new alien ranges online, along with a few extra pieces too.

10mm Sci-Fi Additions
And of course you'll need some terrain and scenery items for your tables, so we've got more MDF buildings, some robots, martians, debris, post-apoc vehicles, roaming gangs and more.

10mm TB Line
Our other priority will be getting all of the TB Line Ancients ranges back online finally, along with their Mongol range as well.  These match up very well with our own figures so will provide some nice variation.

10mm Napoleonic Russians
This project won't be completed this year but one of our sculptors will be spending all of 2026 working on the Nap Russians.  The first batch are complete and you can take a look at those here: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,24056.0.html  We'll be launching these through a not-Kickstarter method, which should be live in March/April.

10mm Modern Vehicles
We've got T-72s and a handful of new trucks, so these will be appearing very soon.


Those are our urgent jobs, as folks have been waiting on those for a while.  Now we can get to the other new stuff that we may or may not have announced previously!

10mm Historials

Revamped Ancient Indians - These have been sculpted by Techno and will be heading up to Pendraken HQ soon.

New Macedonian Greeks - It seemed sensible to get these done alongside the above, so we'll have those here soon too.

Napoleonic Austrian Wurst gun - Just about done, just needs a final mould.

Men-in-a-Trench - This will be a two-part job, with a modular resin trench piece and then various torsos to plug in to it.

Vietnam Huey - We've had the chopper converted to an open-door version so we just need to get some door gunners sculpted.

Street Furniture - We've got all sorts of scenery items for your urban tables, including lights, benches, signposts, letterboxes and more.

Maus/Ratte - Historical-ish!  We'll be producing these two concept tanks in resin as part of a post-WWII What-If project we're planning.  There's also a metal KV-5 knocking about somewhere.


10mm-12mm Fantasy

Ratmen - Full new range, sculpting in progress.

Amazons - Full new range, sculpting in progress.

Halflings - Small range, sculpting complete.

Balori - Small range, sculpting in progress.

Revamped Dungeons - New modular dungeon pieces, new furniture items, and the relaunch of our Dungeon Sets, along with a new edition of the Dungeon World rules.

Misc - We've also got an assortment of other additions planned here, including dragons, yetis, flying lizards, treemen, golems, plagued villagers, campfires and other scenery.


Resin

Our new resin room is going to be seeing a lot of use!  In the pipeline here we've got:

Ironclad Miniatures - We've got all 400+ Ironclad products to get back into production, so those will be appearing in mid-February hopefully.  We've hired two new members of staff who will be taking the lead on all of our resin products, so we should be able to hit the ground running here.

10mm Urban Scenery - Similar to the metal items above, we've got sheds, phone boxes, skips and more.

10mm Sci-Fi Scenery - Boxes, crates, etc to add to your Future War tables.

10mm Tents - Various new tents to add to the current ranges.

10mm Japanese scenery - Finishing off the relaunch of the Castle Arts products, including that massive castle!

10mm WWI Trench system - A full modular trench system for the Great War.

10mm Vietnam scenery - Houses, trenches, pits and firebase to come here.

10mm North Africa scenery - Lots of different adobe-style buildings plus some extra scenery bits.

10mm Korean buildings - Not made yet, but on the worktable.

10mm WWII Armoured train - Made and moulded, just needs prepping for release.

6mm Monorail train - To go with our 6mm MDF rails.

6mm ACW Ironclads - We've only had these for about 20 years, so it's probably time to get them out there!


And finally we've got a bunch of stuff that we'll just call 'Elsewhere':

More Red Vectors buildings
We've got Wild West, WWII, Sci-Fi and more planned for our MDF ranges.

Cold War Commander lists
The Cold War Commander army lists should be hitting the Army Builder imminently.

28mm Personalities
Clib started sculpting these almost 10 years ago now and they've just languished in a master mould ever since.  We'll get them sorted and available very soon.

28mm Militia Miniatures
We're going to revamp these slightly with more robust weapons, as the barrels on some of the guns were a nightmare to cast.


And that's it I think!  I'm sure there'll be something I've overlooked in that lot, but there's certainly enough there to keep everyone busy!

And don't forget that the Painting Competition will be running next month, so make sure to get your entries prepped in time.

Wow!

My wallet:

[Daldnoa]

Great news! 

[Orcs]

As Nobby said - Ouch!

[Ithoriel]

So many possible new projects, so little time (and money!)

[Raider4]

10mm Modern Vehicles
We've got T-72s and a handful of new trucks, so these will be appearing very soon.

No chance of the FV432 variant with the 30mm RARDEN - from the Fox scout car - turret appearing then?

[fred.]

Wow indeed!

Glad these weren't posted last night as would have been too excited to sleep 🎅

"Halflings - Small range" how could it be anything else

[streetgang]

The men in a trench idea is a good one. Years ago I went about this with my Argentinean sculpts, an x-acto blade, and some green stuff.

[Raider4]

10mm-12mm Fantasy

Ratmen - Full new range, sculpting in progress.
Halflings - Small range, sculpting complete.

These interest me. Looking forward to what we get. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Halflings Yes!.
Adobe buildings - definitely interested

[fsn]

I've had a lie down, and a think.

Having divided this list between "definitely will", "maybe will", "maybe won't" and "definitely won't", that's just 4 new projects,  maybe an upgrade to the Napoleonic Russians and some bits and pieces.

I am intrigued as to what the "28mm Personalities" will be. "Napoleon"? "Conan"? "Lil, the Apple Picker"?

[Steve J]

Wow, an awful lof of goodness our way comes . I had hoped to have a quiet year on the purchases front, but plenty in there to tempt me and it's not even the end of January!!!

[sultanbev]

You overlooked Ironclad Miniatures?

[Leon]

You overlooked Ironclad Miniatures?

Kinda!  I'd focussed on the unreleased/new items and forgotten to mention the addition of the Ironclad products.  I'll go and add that in now.

I am intrigued as to what the "28mm Personalities" will be. "Napoleon"? "Conan"? "Lil, the Apple Picker"?

These are sets of historical 'rivals' so we had Caesar vs Vercingetorix, Richard I vs Saladin, Billy the Kid vs Pat Garrett, that kind of thing.  I think we had 8 pairs done with a load more planned, but they just got sidelined as we needed to focus on our main 10mm releases.

Dammit! I was hoping for "Lil, the Apple Picker".

Interesting. Could be a fun exercise.   

[Maraviglia]

Well going off this I'll never be rich but I will be occupied!
I think I might be most interested in the street clutter and scene bits though. A good table often has more uses than one good army.

That said, Amazons do appeal. Are they going to be more "leopard skin wearing cave man" style or mirrored Greeks?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

He Raitte will be a bit of a beast Do I detect some input from Dave.....

[Techno 3]

Greek. (ish)

Not leopard skin caveman types.

[capthugeca]

Good stuff!
What are the Balori?

I am promised that they will be more:

Though Techno has been "working" on them for about 8 years now, so they may have changed from what was originally intended.
