Seeing the photo made me think of a civilian skirmish scenario, to protect the farmyard animals from a wolf attack.

Great stuff. The kind of thing I use in my Dark Age games.

Are there any Pendraken 10mm dirty sheep?

They were sculpted, still in the production Mould stage?

There might be some dirty old goats.

I had some 28mm dirty cowboys. Filthiest figures I've ever known - after washing them, and letting the water out, the bottom of the bowl was speckled with black bits. Grimey.

Cool - I have recently purchased a bunch of 10mm farm animals - did Phil not sculpt some for Pendraken?

Might have.  ;)

Cheers - Phil.

Did Dave mould them?

Did Leon cast them?

Yes and yes.  But no production moulds yet...

I've got them all on the side, we just need to work out whether to put them into packs of mixed animals or code them all up separately.  Mixed works better for the moulds, but we'll always get folks who'll want just one particular animal.

Do packs of mixed animals :)

I'm sure most folks won't be afraid to ask for just one particular animal ;)
The rest can buy several packs to get what they want ;D

Assuming you had enough different animals I would do several mixed packs, i.e. a pack suitable for Western Europe, North African Desert, Sub-Saharan Africa, North America etc.

Still waiting for crocodiles, though in the knowledge that these aren't really farmyard beasties.

I'd suggest single type packs.

If Jim can suggest different mixes for different climates, this means people will want all sorts of ratios.

But I can see that a single mixed pack would be very convenient

I'd say single pack. Perhaps an "army" pack as well for the less discerning.

Hmm. No Tortoises in the Ancients range though.

Probably some dragon (or Draco) somewhere...

I've heard talk about a Ram, too

Dear Leon

10mm hamsters ....

That said, as I drift off to sleep I regularly find my mind dwelling on bizarre things as though my mind can't quite stop processing but can't quite connect the right things together. The other night I found myself drifting off thinking about an omelette for lunch the following day and was brought back awake by the realisation that my mind was idly flipping through a list of wargames companies ticking off those who didn't do 6mm chickens!!
