A bit of an interesting one this month!  What are your Top 3 items from our catalogue?  Not ranges, or codes, but actual figures?  It could be an officer from the AWI, a particularly nasty looking ogre with a club, or a much nicer looking bit of armour?  Pics as well if poss!

www.pendraken.co.uk - Now home to over 10,000 products, including nearly 5000 items for 10mm wargaming, plus MDF bases, Battlescale buildings, I-94 decals, Litko Gaming Aids, Militia Miniatures, Raiden Miniatures 1/285th aircraft, Red Vectors MDF products, Vallejo paints, Tiny Tin Troops flags and much, much more!

Duke Speedy of Leighton

1) Napoleon III

2) Aliens (the figures that first introduced me to 10mm)

3) 1870 Brunswick Infantry - hell, no, 1870 French, no 1870 prussians, erm... 1870 Wurrtenbergers... Lets' just say the entie 1870 range, no, the AWI American range, no the....

Ohh, too many to choose from!

Blaker

hmmmm  :-\   

I reckon my top three would be

1)  Austrian Field Marshal Radetzky circa 1848-49  (saw that one coming  :) )

2) CSA Cavalry trooper in slouch hat with sword

3) A new Alien type not associated with the movies

Just three?!!  oh the pain

Last Hussar

The 18th Century Carriage.  If I could work out the rules I'd do F1 in pre-revolutionary Paris
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Why not F1 in Revolutionary Paris - tumbril carts would probably win by a head. :d

Very specific, and tomorrow the list might be slightly different:

From the SYW line, french infantry marching.  Hard to explain, they just look good on the table.

The French line officer from the FPW line, every inch an officer.

There is a late war German WWII infantry figure with camo cape and panzerfaust (over his shoulder) who has this great "how many kilometers do I have to march today" look about him.

FierceKitty

1) Charging samurai horseman with lance forward.
2) Polish hussar (the single-wing chap; haven't seen the more recent version).
3) Turk on barded horse with mace.
   This seems a bit too inclined to the arme blanche, but horsemen do paint up so prettily.

Ok, bit late to the party, but:

1 - Fire Elemental: full of character.

2 - The bloke from WW3 "Carrier pigeon with wicker basket", just love the detail. 

3 - Beggar Women: loads of potential for conversion.
