Title: 1000 Releases in 5 Years!
Post by: Leon on 03 January 2017, 07:52:55 PM
That one final release of 2016 pushed us over a rather large milestone, as we've now released 1000 new products over the past 5 years!

(http://i1124.photobucket.com/albums/l575/PendrakenMiniatures/Forum%20Stuff/1000Releases_zpselmqakkz.jpg)

This is something we're extremely proud of and I think it must make us one of, if not the most active company in the whole wargames industry?  1000 new products represents a huge amount of time and money invested so we hope there's something in there for everyone.  It's hard to keep putting out new codes for every range in our expanding catalogue these days, but we do our best to try and give each period a bit of attention on a regular basis.

So, onto the actual numbers!  There's a summary list for each year at the following links:

2012 - 207 new releases: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,12574.0.html
2013 - 184 new releases: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,12577.0.html
2014 - 116 new releases: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,12578.0.html
2015 - 230 new releases: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,13408.0.html
2016 - 263 new releases: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,15339.0.html

= 1000 New Releases!


2017 sees another extensive release schedule, with a comprehensive Korean War range making up the bulk of our plans.  Elsewhere we've got the final two Warband ranges to come, plus Napoleonic Brunswickers, a revamped 1860's Italian range and even some Aztecs knocking about somewhere...!

Notice the Sheridan didn't make the big picture.

it was number 1000 after all.

Just sayin'.

And yet (I'm saying it, though you're all thinking it) ... no chariot armies, no Byzantines, no modern infantry, incomplete 1809, incomplete 1815, no Amazons, no cowboys, no gangsters, no men in trench coats, no League of Ausberg Grenadiers wondering if they need a shave, no Incas, no cavemen, no superheroes. Ranges where support weapons are offered as prone poses only.

Several versions of the Centurion not addressed, no Challengers, no T90s, no whatever the Yanks are using at the moment, no TOG, no Czar Tank, no E100, not even a E25. Where's the Maus? Where's the Ratte?

Few trains, few boats, no sub-Saharahan dwellings, no igloos.

Are you really trying?   :P


Before the Pendraken death Squads come for me, I view this list as just a starter for the next 5 years.  Do you think that Pendraken will ever get to a point where they can say "well, that's everything?"

Hope not.

Congratulations Pendraken!
You are the great sustainer of "God's own scale".  :-bd :-bd :-bd

And because you are very forward thinking (and because requests are already pouring in for the NEXT five years - OK, requests from one person), I'm really serious about the Aztecs! I mean I've bought several books on them (haven't read them yet) and I have a whole imaginary world, complete with OpFor, waiting!  :)

Well done all!  Since I discovered 10mm Pendraken my 15mm days have gone, and in that time your sculpts have far exceeded in quality the old 15mm armies I had.  Floreat Pendraken!  Floreat!  Floreat!    :-bd :-bd :-bd :-bd =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

Huzzah, etc!

So, when for 10k :D

Surely between Aztec variants and Centurion variants that's easy to reach ;)

Sorry, a bit late on this one. Let me say congratulations.

The amount of "Dave" and "Leon" in this Pendraken endeavour deserves success and I wish you all the best as you continue to expand.

Cheers, Rob  :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
