Welcome to the brand new Minibits board!

We've been slowly building our product range, with most of it being available on the main Pendraken website for some time now. Our own website is currently nearing completion, so please have a look at www.minibits.net (http://www.minibits.net) and let me know what you think, any feedback gratefully received!
If you've got any suggestions about what you'd like to see, any bases sizes you think I need to add, products you're having trouble getting hold of, or if you'd just like to say 'Hello!', you can get in touch with me at leon@minibits.net.
Here's the current product listing (the codes are different to those on the Pendraken site) so if there's anything you'd like sending out, drop me an email with your requirements. Payment can be made by PayPal, card or cheque. Contact me for more details.

Good luck for the new venture!
I was just thinking the other day as I was trawling around the net looking for paints and spray varnish "wouldn't it be good to have a one stop shop for all the necessaries" to go with my pendraken's. I found site after site that had either one thing but not the other. The main issues when buying for me is the postage. I'm put off getting something if the postage outweighs the price of the product if I'm just ordering just one item from one seller. It makes sense to me if the posting costs are spread over a number of items. It would be nice to have a range of paints etc that accompanied a range of figures and could be bought together? I suppose it would cut down surfing t'internet looking for the right stuff and keep the costs down but maybe that's part of the fun!
Keep warm
agree with Dickie, paint and glue etc. However this might not be cost effective for you as different people prefer different paints.
Good luck with the new venture
I'm currently working on getting a full paint range in, but I'm waiting on some info from them. I'll be adding a gel superglue as well.
Postage would be 10% to the UK I think, as some of the items, like the sands and the trees, will require boxes and that will push the postage up for me. The 'One-Stop Shop' is what I'm aiming for, and any of these products can be ordered and then sent with your Pendraken goodies.
you will be offering a painting service next

Hopefully! I've been emailing a supplier, just waiting on replies.
Spray or brush on varnish ? Some brush on varnish would be very nice and easier to ship.

I'll check through the Vallejo stuff I've just got in, there may be some in there.
I rate the Vallejo spray-on varnish very highly, especially the gloss as a base coat for a matt final coat, but it doesn't seem to be easy to get hold of in the UK.
I've got the brush on varnishes, I'll check on the availability of the sprays.
Leon, do you every get the medium and larger scatter flock in? only ask because I go through alot of it basing my armies so they look like small bushes etc and would rather spend my money here than Model Active or Hobby Craft.

Not at the moment, it'd be something to put on my 'Future Stocking Items' list! :D

Thats great Leon. I go through so much of the stuff, put more effort into basing them than painting them lol
Steven
Could you stock Dullkote as well Leon, I'm forever running out of the stuff, pricey, but the dullest, mattest varnish known to man.

Gordon's right - this stuff will knock the shine off of chrome ;) It's bonkers good...
I'll have a bit of a lookabout and see what I can get hold of.

Maybe not Leon but I have painted Pendraken Minis for others before. But I am sure there are others as well (looks @ Nik...)

:-h Certainly have - and contine to do so...quite a lot of repeat customers too which is nice; I also seem to offload some of my less-used armies reasonably regularly too (to make room for new toys of course!)
But the good stuff is sold very quickly.... :'(
