Hi Chaps,
How about increasing the Ancient range a bit, just by a few figures at least!
Such as: Completing the cavalry for the Archaemenid Persian range.
Scythian horse archers.
Hunnic Cavalry, Light & Heavy.
Even releasing a couple of these will get my megalomania running riot!!
Great job with the website!
Cheers,
Deejay
Cheers for the suggestions. I've got the Achaemenid cavalry noted down already, as it's something we've planned to do at some point. We'd also like to finish off some bits for the Macedonian Greeks, such as hypaspists. I think Dave would like to do some Egyptians as well at some point.
vote for achaemenid cavalry and scythes. :)
i'd like Hunnic cavalry too

I don't do a lot of ancients, but chariot armies could make me change my mind.
From Dour Puritan,
The 2011 Impetus army list booklet is going to be featuring the Macedonians and Successors. I am intending to get involved in a 10mm Successors campaign with an Antigonid army. Some Antigonid cavalry would be good, eg shielded heavies and Tarantine lights. Any chance as the idea of pike phalanxes of 60 figures is quite enticing!
Man, I vote too for scythian horse arches (and armoured nobles too)
I'll put a vote in for the Alexandrian and Successor fig lines being expanded. As well as the Greek and Persians.
Light horse armies - alsmost as much fun as tanks ! Add my vote.

I also think you should increase the ancient range. Some range renovations like the republican romans or the new carthaginians will be really great.
For example, a new range of greeks will be easy, because most of them are hoplites, and with 2-3 poses of them, and some peltast and other few sculpts, the range is ready and will be an cheap alternative to the expensive 15mm hoplites armies.
In general I think if the ancient range will be large and they have more armies to choose, lot of people will go with 10mm.

Yep, this is the plan for the next couple of years. Next up on the schedule is to revamp the Spanish, then the Gallic range. After that we'll have a think, but we'd like to progress through the ranges in a logical fashion if possible, so that people always have an opponent to face.
Great!
Chariot Period armies would be Awesome and greatly needed in 10mm ;)
I saw the WiP 15mm Scythians at http://lurkio.co.uk/blog/archives/3011 and _know_ that I want them in 10mm :P
We're looking at some options to expand the Ancients ranges over the next 3 years-ish, so we'll have some more next on that later in the year.

Put me down for an army pack!
Early Franks. Most of what has been mentioned is already available from one maker or another, but Franks are nowhere to be had.
Some in colour (a word I know how to spell, dear computer).
And here we have a few more. Perhaps the programme will allow me to post the wretched thing this time. I know very well I've already submitted it; if it hasn't been accepted, that is rather useless information.
These come from Phil Barker's Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome, a book that treats English as the Vandals did North Africa. The beards shouldn't be there, as the book itself states in the accompanying text.
Someone should tell them that horizontal stripes make you look fat, darling. Vertical every time.
That's why their descendants lost the struggle against Islam for the middle east.
Bog off :P.....I'm doing something else (that I'm not telling you about) on the ancients range.
Cheers - Phil

That's the last time I contribute to the Techno band-aid fund!
I'll be checking your contribution with 'Orcs', Alexander ;D ;D ;D
I'm sure that awfully nice Mr Leon will get me to go thro' as many 'ancients' as soon as 'poss'. (I'm doing some NOW......Not telling what they are though. :P :P :P)
(I'm doing a fair few 'ancients' for someone who Leon has put me in contact with.....Though these won't be very big ranges....And probably not available in the 'normal' sense of Pendraken figures)
Cheers - Phil ;)
Well .... that's clear as mud. :)
Thanks for clearing that up Phil :D :D :D

Did he get that hair cut by injudicious a-waving of that axe?

Aw rats! That'll just mean more barbarians for the Romans. Could we have some chariots?

That level of teasing seems like a whipping offence to me.
If you're going to be doing Franks, don't forget to include this figure:
