Post by: jaztez on 16 July 2018, 09:06:58 AM
I can't believe pendraken don't do a generic pack mule - but I cannot find it anywhere their ranges?

Only pack mules I can see are NW11 & NW12.

Yep, NW11 and NW12 for now.  We did have the old AC21 ones in the Fantasy range but they were considerably bigger than the regular horses and didn't match with the figures.

We've also got some new horses coming with packs and such on them, so they'll suit as well.

Yes - pack mules would be nice

and, as a feeble excuse to show some of my toys, here's NW11 in my 1840s French Army in Algeria

Shedman, those pack mule elements look good to me!

Indeed, I rather like the sweaty campaign battered look, and the basing says it all - this is Francois reporting from Algeria, hot, sweaty, knackered and p*****d off; very, very p*****d off.

I am interested in seeing the whole army  ;)

OK thanks Leon.  What range/release are the pack horses coming in?

Leon can I make a suggestion RE: Pack mules.

You don't need to sculpt one.

In the NWF range, there are pack mule maxim teams (NWF12).

One mule has the maxim, but the secod just carries boxes.  It's just a generic pack mule.

Why not pack those up and sell them as a generic pack mule?

We've just moulded them this morning so they should be released next week some time.  We've got another batch of animals coming for the SCN-NML range, so they'll be going in there.  There's also bare and saddled versions to go with them.

Sounds like a boon for virtually all the periods - camps, ambush scenarios, supply scenarios etc.

Yep they would be certainly useful

Take care
