Title: Which Are Your Favourites?
Post by: sixsideddice on 10 July 2011, 09:10:07 PM
Of the Pendraken Miniatures Fantasy Range, which are your most used races... and for the Dungeons, which monsters would make an appearance most frequently?

For me, as for Race: it would probably have to be Orcs...with Rats (which I call Ver`men) a close second. These form the meat and potatoes of many of my battles and dungeon crawls.

As for my most used Dungeon Crawl Monsters: Well I use the Slimes a lot, often in quite large numbers. Rats swarms would be my next most popular I think.

How about you; which miniatures feature the most in your games?

Undead, always the undead for me. I love having hordes of skeletons in the dungeon. Would like to see more undead types in the Pendraken range.
Better mummies, wraiths and some additional zombies would be good  8)

I`d die (scuse the pun) for some additional zombies.  I still have a notion in my head of doing proper, full on, Zombie games in 10mm.... if therer was a big enough range for me to make some of them look a bit more modern; aka George A Romero style.

Hmmm, I have a new favourite. I recently made (sculpted is too big a claim... they`re really just blobs) a bunch of Yellow Ocres; I have a thing about slimes, blobs, and jellies in dungeons.

They resemble giant botched bestial puss coloured egg yolks, full of putrid acids and bile - and I just love `em  :D

Having just received and painted my first 'The Pharoah's Tomb' (DNO4) I`d have to modify my new choice of favourite now as being the "Bat Swarm".

Its a really nice cast, and looks like the swarm are actually moving and flying when painted up and placed on the stand. I absolutely love this piece. But I can`t see it to quote the individual order number from the list  - I only see the Bat Swarm included in the dungeon Pharoah set?

Bat swarm is in Fantasy Accessories AC12

Search is your friend. Though it does turn up a whole host of unrelated battalion packs.

Ah yes, so it is. Nice one fred  :)

Yeah the Bat Swarm is a nice big mini: big base, stands nice and tall on the stand, and importantly looks like a swarm of creatures.

Cheers,

Six.

The knights on barded horses: useful for more colour in renaissance armies. The peasants and crossbowmen converted easily to parts of real armies too.

Yes, I use the Barded Horses too. Usually to represent King or Queen`s Life Guard in my fantasy games. Also they make great early Cuirassier for Renaissance and early Civil War battles.

The Peasants and Crossbowman I need to check out  :-\
