Title: Old (Feb '11) Top 10 Requests!
Post by: Leon on 19 February 2011, 04:16:20 AM
I've been promising this for a while, so here it is!  I've split it this time into full ranges, and individual codes/figures.  There's going to be a design window once the Schelswig-Holstein range is completed, so we'll be looking closely at what's on the Requests when the time comes.  We've also scheduled a month of odds and ends in May, so some of the smaller requests may get done then.

So, Top 10 Ranges:

1.   Falklands War
2.   Fantasy Bears
3.   WW2 Home Guard
4.   Korean War
5.   French Revolution
6.   Aztec's
7.   Indian Mutiny
8.   Yom Kippur
9.   Wild West
10. Byzantine/Crusades

And, Top 10 Items:

1.   FPW Dismounted Dragoons/Hussars
2.   WW2 Italian artillery
3.   WW2 Personalities
4.   FPW Kneeling/firing/skirmishing
5.   SYW Musicians
6.   AWI Cavalry in tarletons
7.   WW2 Early German AT rifles
8.   WW2 Russian BA10
9.   Colonial Fuzzy-Wuzzy on camel
10. AWI Limbers and horses

Dont you already do Madist camels, those are Fuzzy-Wuzzies. Could do with a similar figure with Rifle, and same on foot, for Beau-Guest, can use some of the Frech 1870 stuff as l'Legion.

Bears, and Byzantium sound good

How much of a range do you need for Bears - are you thinking Bears with weapons???

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't there been four or five requests for dismounted Austrian 1866 Hussars? That being the case why no mention on them anywhere on the list and where did the votes for dismounted FPW figures come from? I've seen one request only so far. Fairs fair Leon.

I put the AT rifles on just because they haven't been recieved at this end yet.  As soon as they are, they'll be off the list.

I'll check on which of the Italian artillery it is.

They only just went into the 'Range' side, we're probably looking at about 5-7 codes, with armoured/unarmoured, running/standing, riders/riderless.

I'll double check the lists, but I know that number 1 was in double figures, down to number 10 which had 7 votes.  I may have combined them on the lists into 'Late 19th C. Dismtd Hussars', but I'd have to check.  If we were doing the FPW ones, it'd be easy enough to do the Austrians as well.  I'll get back to you on that.

I'll have to do a search for the specific names mentioned, but it was for the usual suspects, Hitler, etc.

I've had a quick check, and a lot of the votes for the FPW ones can be found in the 'FPW' thread in the Requests board.  Plus I also add votes for things we get asked about via email, and also at the shows.

On my lists, I've bulked them all together as one item, just because it'd be easier to do them at the same time instead of separately.  So I've got 'Dismounted Dragoons/Hussars - kneeling/firing', and a little note next to it saying 'Fr/Pr/Au'.

The original request was for Hitler, Guderian and Rundsted, but I'm sure there's others mentioned.  Rommel/Ramcke/Monty are already done, so take your pick from the rest.

German AT Rifles... YES!!

I'd also like to see more French Revolution figures.  I've just started with that era in 10mm.

With the dimounted cavalry for the Franco-Prussian War and the Austrians as well - can you incude the horses and horse holders.

Possibly, I'd have to see how many figures we can squeeze in with the designer.  The dismounted troops were the main request, so the horse holders might have to wait.

Hi there,

Just wanted to make my usual beg for a Falklands range.  It is the 30 year anniversary next year remember and we need time at Leeds Wargames Club to paint up a huge display game to take to all the shows and show off Pendraken figures!!!

Beg, beg

It's up there, and I'd hoped to have better news on it's chances, but we're still struggling wih vehicles.  Until we get another designer on board, we're stuck.

Vehicles barely featured in the conflict :( - wouldn't it be possible to do the infantry and add vehicles at a later stage?

We could, but you can guarantee that as soon as we released them, someone would say "But where's the vehicles..."!   :D

Send em in my direction for swift and certain 'application of the pointy stick' to eyes/nostrils/earhole/testicles (delete as appropriate) ;)

I think it would be a travesty if the range were released beyond the anniversary next year

Forget the vehicles for now -  please please please do Argie infantry and Brit Paras/Marines.  There weren't any vehicles at Goose Green (well there might have been one apc - and Julian Thompson did tell me that he really wanted to order the Blues & Royals in but had to go on the briefing he was given about the ground being too boggy).  Also if you're doing a personality pack don't forget he always had a pipe in his mouth !

Argies in trenches would be good as well. 

So come on Dave, how about just a small range of figures to wet our appetites-  and if they don't sell well I'll eat a Para beret !

cheers

I'm wary of putting timescales on things, as there are always delays to things, and then it can lead to complaints that we've missed deadlines, etc.

I wasn't trying to put pressure on anyone; just lamenting the continued absence of one of the most colourful armies from every 10mm range in the world.
