I thought you had sculpted the Pendraken Mongols, Phil?

I know you have done the cleanup on the TB Line Mongols (and also the Islamic) ranges? The Islamic range has a whole range of camel riders with bows and spears. 

Not sure that Amazons on camels feels quite right to me. But I commend Ithoriel on his extensive research on Amazon cavalry.

QuoteI'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"?

Surely a Legends of Penraken range: Millady, Leon, Dave, Phil, Clibby, etc...  8)

O Dinas Powys

QuoteKinda!  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.

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.

Techo vs Nobby; Hussar vs Orks...  :-\

I'd be more worried if I forgot what I'm working on at the moment, Ian.. ;)

What I DO find irritating, is getting an instrumental snippet of a song stuck in my head...and then not being able to recognize it....until about 5 hours later.

Oh, gods! I know that one!

Also remembering one line from a song lyric and not being able to remember/ find on the internet the song title or full lyrics. Usually because I have one word wrong in the lyrics I "remember."

I find that when I listen to the antidote to panel shows and they do the "one song to the tune of another" round, I will, for days sing ... one song to the tune of another.

Oh dear. Helion are releasing on 21st January a book about Ptolemaic Egypt. Now, I don't get excited by the Alexandrian Macedonians, I could be persuaded by something slightly less mainstream. How compatible will Pendraken's range be with the Egyptian? Who knows?

Leon probably.

Ptolomaic armies are basically Successor armies (Pike, skirmishers, cavalry, elephants) with the added option of native Egyptian Machimoi who seem to have been armed and armoured in a similar fashion to Republican Roman legionaries.

Machimoi seem to have been regarded as lesser quality than the Macedonian troops.

Shouldn't be a problem to assemble a force from the Pendraken options.

I am more intrigued as to how she put on a seeming one piece leotard with a tail. Some real contortionism going on there.  :D

One of the club members was complaining  about models of nude Gallic fanatics on the wargames table- said  he  expects trousers as a minimum. It kind of begged a response

Yes, that's what worries me.
