Title: Old (Sept '10) Top 10 Requests!
Post by: Leon on 07 September 2010, 02:10:33 AM
With the AWI command, and the T26 out of the way, here's the current list of the Top 10 Requests:

1.  Falklands War range
2.  Fantasy bears!
3.  French Revolution range
4.  SYW French with turnbacks
5.  Sudan Mahdi Cavalry
6.  FPW Personalities
7.  Vietnam LMG's on bipod
8.  Indian Mutiny range
9.  Yom Kippur range
10. Aztecs range

There's quite a few full ranges filling up that list now, which will obviously take longer to put into production.  But we're hoping to have No.'s 4, 5, 6 and 7 done by the end of the year, which should keep people happy for a while!

Keep the requests coming, and we'll see what we can get done.  Now, I need to go find a bear designer...

That said, it's good to see that the Mexicans are actually in the top ten. Maybe they'll be produced before my eyes pack up (turned 51 today, mumble mumble, has anyone seen where I left my teeth?).

Leon, I think you need Matt to overhaul the site, all the requests for middle easten medieval/renaissance have dissapeared - surely a malicious bug... ~X(

7.  Vietnam LMG's on bipod

I think what most people wanted was actually just  US infantry with M60 not on tripod.  The V8 Infantry standing with M60 headswap which you've already put into production will probably meet their needs.

A prone M60 gunner would not really fit on a stand with any of the current US infantry, though I'm just about to send you some more headswaps including a US infantryman kneeling with M16 which would fit alongside a prone figure just  fine.

Also on their way to you are some more headswaps usable for VC in bush hats, including one with an RPG which is another major hole in the range.  I've also put bush hats on the LMG and HMG figures  from the Indo China range, which would be usable as VC  though VC and NVA with 1960s vintage  LMGs would still  be good.

Ah right, I had 'on bipod' in brackets next to the votes, so I was thinking we needed another addition there.  If people are happy with the M60 we've just released, then I'll scrap this item from the lists and bump something else into the Top 10?

Except for DAK is there much point until there is a range of early war Germans in marching boots?

Hi,

This is just a small request but I am looking to do the Winter War - Fins v Ruskies and I need some figures  of Fins in winter Gear on skis.  I'm using Blitzkreig Commander and I need something to represent ski transport stands.  Just like swapping the foot troops for the motobikes or trucks when they dismount.

Just 1 simple pose would do??  And being cheeky how about a sleigh as well ??

thanks
Rob

A sleigh's not a bad idea; useful for real battles as well (Poles vs Muscovites; Knights Teutonic in eastern Europe). And with reindeer, useful for HOTT too.

Wouild have thought that the ATR is a simple conversion, and no there is no need for an early war German range, that is paint job.

Bit more involved than that you could well get away with painting short boots and anklets as marching boots but a lot of the figures are clearly sculpted with camo helmet covers. The problem is Pendrakens figures are just too well sculpted for simple paint conversions IMHO.
If not there would have been no need for the BEF range.

Vietnam Helicopters?

Come on - you can't do a Vietnam range without the hogs.

Any more thoughts on dead horses (for WSS, not Da Nang)

We've got the Huey's, and we've been discussing drilling them out to wit open doors and gunners.  Beyond that, nothing planned.

No info on the dead horses either, not many votes for them really.

Ooooo - Door gunners! (I've just bought the paints - Correction, Lady Hussar has just bought the paints, as she was getting a GW figure case, and I asked her to put them through at the same time.  Camo Green (the Khaki Green) and Catachan Green (olive drab) are now part of my Christmas Present.  I'll be buying the US army Pack in January)

Dead Horses - That's because people forget they need them.  Come on - you could literally be flogging a Dead Horse.  In absence - any suggestions on which ones you do would be best for a bit of judicious bending?

Not sure really, there's the regular ones which come with all the artillery/limbers etc, or the standing ACW ones?  You'd probably need to file down one side of them to make them lay properly on the base.

Reminder that not only do you need a Hog with door gunner, but a Cobra too.

in addition, don't forget riverine monitors make for great looking games.

if I knew these were coming in the foreseeable future Id be buying armies for this period from you.  =((
