As most of you will be aware, the Pendraken furnaces have continued burning through the Corona outbreak and our staff have been fantastic throughout, working opposing shifts and odd hours whilst also maintaining social distancing in our workshop. It's been a long slog for all of them, so to say thanks we're going to give all of them a paid week off, from July 11th to July 18th. We'll be working hard to get as many orders as we can completed and posted out before we close, and any orders placed during that week will be processed as soon as we return.
I'd like to say thanks once again for everyone's support during this whole pandemic. The world is a very strange place at the moment but both your custom and your patience have been fantastic. We'll take that week to recharge some batteries and we'll soon be back to the grind!
If you need anything like bases, paints, decals, etc. to keep you occupied while we're shut, get your orders in to us asap and we'll make sure that they get processed before we take our break. We'll do our best to get the figure orders out as well.
Very well deserved.
Not an issue, put your collective feet up ;)
Well deserved R and R !
🐵
Well deserved, enjoy the break all
I hope the weather is lovely so that you can all make the most of a well deserved break :).
Blimey, Leon, you are sooo nice :'(
Well deserved all.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! :-*
Enjoy the holiday
I hope you all have a good break and some nice weather to make the most of it
Do you get nice weather that far north? :)
The rain gets warmer.
Hang on.
Leon buys a house. So will be moving in. That involves lots of physical work. Carrying boxes and fridges and the Power Staff of Dark Immortality (in it's presentation case).
Leon gives the casting dwarves a week off. So they will have a week available.
Coincidence? :-\
Well deserved break !! :)
Cheers - Phil
Well done on all your hard work!

Does this mean you get a break as well? - perhaps you should take one anyway.
No break here, Matey ! ;)
Got too much to do to take a break. :D
Cheers - Phil

Much deserved! Enjoy your break- please pass on our appreciation to all staff.
Thanks for all of the replies!

Sadly our moving date won't be until August, but I will be spending this week off packing boxes and doing some work around the house before we move out of it. I'm sure I can get the casting dwarves to help when we do move though, I'll bribe them with beer and snacks.
looks like I got my latest order in just in time then :D

Even if I paint really really quickly I don't think I would be able to finish my stock of Pendraken goodies never mind other manufacturers.

I CAN mix putty with my left hand and type with my right. (Multi-tasking, or what .) ;D ;D

What a great thing to do Leon. Well done to you and all the team for getting through recent events - and it seems for getting improved sales!

Hah, Pendraken could shut for a year and I'd still have stuff left un-based and un-painted when they re-opened.

Only a year ? is all I am going to say? ( and that's without other manufacturers stuff) Just hope Mrs Orcs does not see this, I have been convincing her the lead pile is shrinking. :D
They will all be decorating.
Enjoy your hols.

You painted approx 200 pieces, I have painted an extra 20 thats 220 pieces. removed from the lead pile
Since I sent these to you I have purchased
4 Units of French Dragoons
1 pack of Kneeling firing In tricorn
1 pack of Curassiers for my Dutch
1 pack of Dragoon Guard
4 Extra kettle drummers
15 standard bearers
Pack of spare cannon wheels
6 Guns
approx 10 packs of bases
In figures alone that 209 pieces so I have reduced the pendraken lead pile by 11. So technically I suppose I have. :)
Send them on... ;)
