Title: Undead release?
Post by: MattW on 18 June 2015, 10:12:21 PM
Hello all, has there been any news on the expected date for the new undead army to arrive?

Cheers,

Matt

Shouldn't be too far away, the sculpts all arrived at Pendraken HQ a fortnight ago and we got the first production mould done on Wednesday.  Once we're back from the show this weekend we'll get busy on the rest of them.

The last of the production moulds were done while I was away on holiday, so the whole range is ready to go now.  They won't be released until after Claymore though, as I'm not going to get chance to take the web photos (and wouldn't have time to cast any army packs for the show either!), but I should be able to get them all photo'd up for release early next week.

The better news is that the High Elves moulds are almost done as well, so we'll be able to follow on with a second new range pretty quickly.

In a last minute update, we've managed to get some of the new Undead cast up, so we'll have a handful of the armies with us at Claymore tomorrow.  Pop by and grab yours before they all sell out! 

For everyone else, I'll get the web photos sorted on Mon/Tues and they'll be available on the website Wed/Thurs.

Hi Wonderdog, welcome to the forum.

Yet another forumite I walked past (or even spoke to?) at Claymore without realising!

Be warned, the whole forum's mad except me and thee ... and I'm not so sure about thee! ;)
Title: Re: Undead release?

The Undead went really well at Claymore yesterday (as did the other armies as well!) so I'll have to get them all restocked again in time for Border Reiver next month!

At some point I'll be getting 8 lots of Zombies for my Vampire Counts army. I was going to get them from Kallistra. Not any more  :D.

The plus point for me is they'll cost the same but there will only be 200 figures to paint and not the 240 that (I think) would be the number from Kallistra. That and the variety of course!

Nice one lads  :-bd

The cavalry - 25 figures?

That's incredibly generous!
Title: Re: Undead release?
Post by: Techno on 07 August 2015, 08:20:17 PM
I'm wondering if that should be 12 riders rather than 25, Andy.  :-\

Says 12 on the first page of "New Warband Undead Now Available" but 25 on the 'catalogue' page.
Leon will know.  :)

Could have been worse. Could have been a heavy metal recording.

"Ladies and gentlemen. May I present to you the 'Undead' featuring Tech-Bad-To-the-Core-No, the screaming frontman, the man whose guitar playing sounds like the playing of a man with six fingers, which due to some very close antecedents could have been the case, the man who thinks a Riff is like a Berber, the man who blushes every time he plucks a G-string, them rockinest, rollingest, hard drinkingest (if you count Ribena) sheep-puncher every to get the 5:42 out of South Wales on a second class ticket! He wailed in 'Evil Empire', he was shocking in 'the Electricity Board', and he sort of moulders in 'Undead'. He leaves a trail of empty bottles, green putty and confused females wherever he goes! Do you think you know loud? Well Tech-me-home-again-Kathleen-no knows loud! He once wore a purple shirt with a green tie! He has been known to cough and not apologise! His Dremmel has no acoustic dampening! Ladies, Gentlemen and Forum Members, the one, the only, when they made him, they shot the sculptor! Give it loud for TEKKKKKKNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

I think the lead singer's name was Martin (Martyn ?)......Really, really nice guy.
The almost 'demonic', deep voice he produced on the record, was a million miles away from his normal speaking voice.

That's actually much better than I thought it was, which surprises me as when I first heard them I was well into thrash metal and death metal and all sorts of very loud shouty grunty grindy music, and I remember thinking it was pretty bad, but I'm pleasantly surprised!

That was Martin's band.
