Title: Tiny Tin Troops flags now available!
Post by: Leon on 09 March 2024, 11:32:50 PM
(https://www.pendraken.co.uk/user/news/TTTFlagsRelease.jpg)

We're very pleased to announce that we've teamed up with Tony from Tiny Tin Troops to offer his entire range of flagsheets!  There are nearly 500 different sheets available covering periods from Flodden to the American Civil War and available in sizes from 6mm upto 22mm.  There are also multi-sheet packs too, allowing you to grab everything for a particular army/period at a discounted rate.

We've put filters on all of these new products, so just choose the period you're looking for and then click the boxes down the left-hand column to filter the sizes you'd like to look at.

As with all of our other flags and decals products, these have got reduced rate shipping applied to save you a bit of money too.

Tony's working on adding some more 22mm options to some of the ranges, so keep an eye on those coming online soon.  You can find all of his other products on the TTT website here: http://www.tinytintroops.co.uk/

Need some 6mm ACW Union flags

Looking very nice (from what I can see of them underneath the anti-piracy / branding method on the images).

Obviously not Pendraken's fault (at least I don't think it is) , but it's a bit difficult to see the ACW Union flags in the images, if I'm being honest with my constructive criticism. [I only looked at the 10mm ACW Union flags, so don't if others are similar.]

Still, can see that they're very good flags, so it isn't too much of an issue - just to 'over-particular' people like me  ;D

I've made all of the images for these myself so the watermarking is entirely on me!  Sadly it's needed these days as piracy is such an issue (albeit much lower in this hobby than elsewhere!) but I've tried to make it less intrusive than on our own flag images.

I'll still be buying some - going to be putting in an order for some more ACW miniatures and a couple of ACW books (that I should have bought on Saturday  :-[ ) Oh and the decals I was looking at.

I forgot to come back in and tell you, on Saturday... Yes, the heaters were turned on (I'm just not used to the cold in that part of the North East  ;) )

I'm looking for flags for the British 2nd Division late 1811-12 in the Peninsula but these don't (with a couple of exceptions) seem to be available in 10mm unless I am just not seeing them.

So in this period the regiments concerned were:

Howard's Brigade   
   1/50th Foot
   1/71st (Highland) Light Infantry
   1/92nd (Gordon Highland) Foot [P]
   8th coy. 5/60th (Rifles) Foot
Wilson's Brigade   
   1/28th Foot [P]
   2/34th Foot
   2/39th Foot
   4th coy. 5/60th (Rifles) Foot
Ashworth's Brigade   
   Rto de Infanteria no.6 [T]
   Rto de Infanteria no.18
   Batallho de Cacadores no.6
Byng's Brigade
   1st/3rd Foot
   1st/57th Foot
   Provisional bn (2/31st & 2/66th Foot)
   ?coy 5/60th (Rifles) Foot

[P] = Pendraken [T] = Tiny

Try this site.

He has an example of every British regiment plus obscure stuff on Austria, the Indian Mutiny and others.  Download, scale them to 10mm and print them yourself.

Other than that there is the Warflags site but that is Waterloo-centric. 

Finally, find the flags you want in 28mm, scan, re-scale and print your own.  It is what I do most of the time.

Bear in mind that for the British, unless a regiment has a special badge, or unique feature, all you really need is one of the right facing colour.

Also Maverick Models. He's got a good range.

Seconding that - Stuart from Maverick Models is a star!

Seconding again, or thirding that.  I find Stuart's flags from Maverick Models go very well with Pendraken figures.

Thanks all - I'll investigate.

If only it were that simple !!

There are the honours scrolls (and getting the date they appear correct), the central badge & numerals (depends when the flag was issued) and a few minor items and a lot do have distinguishing features.

Cacadores, Rifle Bde & provisional units don't usually carry colours in the field.

I do regto 1-24 for the Portuguese.

I did base my choices of regiments represented on 2 battle OOBs so, if the regt wasn't at those, it won't be there. Some day I will try and find time to add a supplementary sheet covering other units that I haven't done yet but that is some way down the line as I'm still catching up with plans stalled due to back problems and cancer surgery.

Exactly.
