Title: Fantasy Suggestions
Post by: sgtpepper on 08 April 2010, 01:24:23 PM
Hi,

I just got some of the night orcs in the mail. They're brilliant miniatures, but no calvary. Any chance some could be added to the list? Maybe a ram type beastie with curved horns??? Could also be useful for sand orcs ;)

Thanks

S.

Good option the ram horned (but not horny :-X) creature.

I support the idea of orc cavalry  :D

Post by: Leon on 08 April 2010, 06:23:36 PM
I'll pop these on the list.  We've got the boar riders in the regular boar range, but nothing in the others.

I like the look of those skeletal centaurs,how about some of the following? Werewolves-i'm surprised they aren't already listed,,skeletons with scyths, mounted wraiths or vampires,skeletal cavalry with swords and finally some dire/undead/zombie wolves. Ken.

Post by: tuva on 17 April 2010, 12:03:23 PM
The men and beggar ranges are really impressive, but if i could add anything  i would suggest the following- MEN- fighting monks/clerics/priests ,rangers or scout /archers and a pack of fighting pilgrims/religious fanatics etc. BEGGARS- hooded cultists ,evil worshipers/priests and some large thugs , big ,pot bellied,shaven headed ,broken noses/cauliflower ears ,they could also pose as mercenaries. ken.

Post by: ziparoo on 18 April 2010, 10:36:33 AM
I second the motion for clerics - I'd like to see little dudes with maces and platemail.
Title: Re: fantasy-men and beggar suggestions.
Post by: jchaos79 on 18 April 2010, 05:46:54 PM
I think all the suggestions will be great. I seccond specially MEN- fighting monks/clerics/priests  and pilgrims/religious fanatics also some figures with shaven headed
Title: Re: new fantasy ?

will be great also skeletons with egypt mithology. There exist one entry, but different poses or so
Title: Re: new fantasy ?
Post by: nikharwood on 18 April 2010, 06:05:59 PM
I'd agree - anything that would be not-Tomb Kings would be great...I've got a great-looking TK army in 28mm & I used to have a great WM one too - but I sold it... :(

Would be nice to do it again  - but properly this time ;)
Title: Re: new fantasy ?
Post by: dicehead on 18 April 2010, 06:58:19 PM
That would be great, I'd definitely buy those. How about a Spinx to go with them?
Talking about themed armies how about snakemen? I wouldn't say no to a medusa either if you wanted to make my day.
I'm really hoping for an arabian magic carpet rider and some genies too, if you wanted to do some scimitar wielding arabs I'd snap that up too!
Title: Re: fantasy-men and beggar suggestions.
Post by: Leon on 19 April 2010, 02:58:20 PM
Cheers for those, I've added them to the lists.  I'll have a think though, because there could be something you could use in the other ranges.
Title: Re: new fantasy ?
Post by: Leon on 19 April 2010, 03:03:04 PM
Some good suggestions there.  The mounted wraiths could be done using the FE11 Mounted elves.  Their heads are covered and you could chop off the spears.  I think they look like the Nazgul.

Medusa is one that I'd been thinking of myself.  If I'd heard about the Clash of the Titans release earlier, I'd have considered doing some Mythology stuff to go with it.
Title: Japanese Fantasy suggestions
Post by: dicehead on 19 April 2010, 05:07:50 PM
Samurai apes look like they could make fairly decent demon samurai for a fantasy game, is there any chance we might see some more along those lines? Maybe naga (great for fantasy snakemen too!), undead samurai, japanese style dragons and some oni?
Title: Japanese Fantasy suggestions
Post by: Leon on 19 April 2010, 07:59:25 PM
I'm tempted to do some Oni, they'd be quite versatile for other things.  Our fantasy designer is doing some historical stuff for us at the moment, so new fantasy stuff will be limited to what me and Dave can come up with!
Title: Japanese Fantasy suggestions
Post by: jchaos79 on 19 April 2010, 10:12:30 PM
Oni sounds pretty cool!

There are plenty mithology japanesse deamons:

- The ones with his skull as a bowl of water
- Giant heads
- A spirit gehisa
- Tengu o bird style deamon

Mononoke princess and spirited awa (aka el viaje de chihiro) films are a great source of inspiration

maybe some frogs dress like samurai nobility
just my two cents
Title: Fantasy Requests
Post by: jchaos79 on 23 April 2010, 03:28:28 PM
The idea is make some heros very similar to films/comics of the eighties/ninteens heros and characters.

- The barbarian (Conan) you have a lot in your range, but is an icon
- Slainn (other gaelic barbarian)
- Ukko the dwarf/"gremlin"
- Madmartigan of willow
- Kurgan from the inmortals film
- willow ufgood with child (Elora Dana)
- The Beastmaster with hawk in his fist and a tiger (painted in black :) )
- Tulsa Doom
- Red Sonja
- King arthur in full plate armour Jhon boorman
- Mordred (son of king arthur ) in golden full plate armour with helmet
-Morgana lefay

More ideas?
Title: Re: Fantasy Heros and pesonalities
Post by: dicehead on 23 April 2010, 04:14:28 PM
I'd buy all of those for sure. What about a 10 figure personality pack with a barbarian, fighter, ranger, cleric, dwarf, druid, bard, wizard, dwarf adventurer and elf adventurer? Great for heroes, generals or dungeon delvers.
Title: Re: Fantasy Heros and pesonalities
Post by: nikharwood on 23 April 2010, 09:26:14 PM
Good idea - it'd also be coolio to have a 'dungeon' pack that included sufficient figures to game the nice Pendraken DW rules - so a character pack & then a sufficent amount of the dungeon-dwellers named etc....perhaps even a dungeon-builder pack that also incldued the scenery....

Hmmm - I'd be a customer  8)
Title: Re: Fantasy Heros and pesonalities
Post by: Fenton on 23 April 2010, 09:43:02 PM

Title: Re: Fantasy Heros and pesonalities
Post by: jchaos79 on 24 April 2010, 06:10:27 AM
I have got more ideas of charaters:

- The Hunchback of NotreDame (to use with beggar army)
- Primitive hero (Tygra fire and Ice)

It does not need to be exact like the films, but the idea. I do not know how many problems could give the copyright... but well Pendraken Sci fi range has some figures inspired in films, also Coppelstone miniatures has a lot.

The idea of the three heros as ral partha did, sounds good to me, also the pack of adventures and characters.

Werewolves- a great idea,i would  buy them, any chance Leon?
Title: fantasy suggestions
Post by: drake on 24 April 2010, 09:22:39 AM
How about some  Bugbears ,Gnolls and snakemen? Splintered light have really great  bugbears and gnolls, too big for 10mm and Lonegunman/ex Thanes Games  have excellent snakemen,again too large,perhaps as "giant" or heroes.
Title: Re: fantasy suggestions

Hooray, that's two votes for snakemen! I second the gnolls and bugbears too.

I have considered making a full Dungeon pack, with the dungeon pieces, some heroes and a selection of monsters to kill.  This will be done at some point, as soon as I can get to it really, cos we've got all the figures there, I'd just need to put a list/price together.  Maybe 'sixsideddice' can give me an idea of what would work well with his Dungeon rules?

I've just realised that pretty much what you're talking about here is the nice graphic at the top of the Pendraken website  8)

Having spent a couple of days re-reading a load of D&D stuff, I'm definitely toying with the idea of doing my slaying in 10mm...any furthre thought on that dungeon pack Leon?  ;) ;D
Title: Re: Fantasy Heros and pesonalities
Post by: dicehead on 02 May 2010, 10:25:06 PM
There's some good stuff already but I think some of those figs are in packs of 10. Maybe the most appropriate ones could be put in a dungeon pack.

I was thinking more of a set which look more like adventurers with torches and loads of swag. You can definitely get by nicely with what's there though.

Hi nik,

yes, the supplement will include all the rules for playing DW completely solo using a simple artificial AI to determine Monster reactions.

Should be ready to go in a short while; I just want to playtest a few things out with my local club(s) and family first to make sure of the balance.

Cheers for the interest.

I`m working on a suitable (balanced) starter set list of Heroes and Monsters - plus dungeon and essential furnishings/trimmings. Should have everything worked out by tomorrow evening for you to check out Leon. Coupled with an updated version of the rules; including the new supplement - this would make a really attractive and useful boxed set for 10mm enthusiasts to enjoy and really get their teeth into.


I`m also watching this thread carefully and taking notes on the film book and graphic novel characters suggested by forum members, and making up a few surprise additions to the game for everyone to enjoy. So please, keep the ideas coming... it’s all being stored away in my head *hehe*

Ok, the idea is quite freak: But the "old man" of the Scene 24 of the film Holy Grial (Monty pytohn), that gives the clue of the Quest of the holy grial to Arthur.

A crazy idea: This miniature (in the Dungon game) could be non an enemy but like an oracle to help the adventures (like a gamekeeper advice).

This proposal is sooo wierd (I know) but will not be delicious and surrealistic to have the miniature of the "old man from Scene 24"

I see that Highlanderstudiosinc have some really nice sci-fi 15mm bipedal insectmen ("space bugs"), and Khurasan miniatures their  "Vespulid " 15mm wasp- insectmen all heavily armed. So how about some 10mm or large 15mm  fantasy insectmen? I personally would like the grasshopper/cricket types  similar to Black Orc Games  "The Hive"  figures. Ossy.

In Glorantha setting there are a tribe who ride giant wasps. Always took my eye the idea. Do not know if is enough interesting to casting a figure, but is a original idea of having a "flyer" unit/character for fantasy.

Aaaah  what a sweet night.

Daughter had an all night stop over (4 of them in the house, but they were wonderful and watched their own DVD`s, num-nums and fizzy up in the attic and `hardly saw a peep out of them), so myself and `herself ` sat watching the movies downstairs. Fantastic night.

Did you get to crack any wickets, or did the weather remain iffy?

Otherwise, hope you enjoyed the nostalgic trip into DVD land as much as we did Nik :-)

How about orc and goblin boar riders, with the goblin boar riders looking either like the old pre-slotta base citadel great goblins or night goblins or some mixture?

Also nomadic orc and goblin wolf riders in nomad style armour and weapons and clothing, as nomadic orcs or hobgoblins? - some archers, some spearmen - and some mounted orc and goblin Khan and shaman figures?
Title: Fantasy Requests
Post by: Dunnadd on 14 June 2010, 08:33:20 PM
How about tribal style wood-elves - some with spiked hair like ancient Celts - and some even wearing stag horn helmets.

These could include archers, spearmen and wardancer or fanatic style light armoured close combat fighters armed with a mixture of swords and spears.

p.s if these ever get made i'd prefer them to be 10 - 12mm in height, so they fit in with my 10mm figures from other manufacturers. Some of the existing fantasy range (e.g hobgoblins and ratmen) are more like 15mm  - good for 15mm scale armies, but just don't fit in with 10mm ones.

Green horde o nomadic goblinoids are quite usual in fantasy games with Warmaster system. They are use as proxies of Kislev (out of production range), so I think nomadic green skins is a good choice because there is a lack of figures too. I am also interested in this figures

Title: Fantasy sampler
Post by: stevothedivo on 25 June 2010, 12:06:42 PM
Hey! Oh wow you've leapt right into the new technologies, huh? Forum and all!
Great work guys!
Now my suggestion/request (call it what you will...and I appreciate it's mostly a dream which will never come true due to the hassle of putting it all together for the manufacturer) concerns that lovely picture of the key fantasy figures on the homepage. Yup, that one that looks so cool with the dwarf with the well defined muscles, the wizard in his red cape, the henchmen, the Elven hero...
Now how cool (and useful for moi as I hope many others...even if merely as a little side "one off afternoon project") if Pendraken sold a sampler of its fantasy range with a figure from every code?
LOL! Yeah I know it's not going to happen but you could maybe consider it as a super-special Xmas 2010 deal or something. For a limited time only one of every code for GBP25 + postage. Then you'd test the market, see if it's viable, if there's interest...
Like "10mm RPG SPECIAL" - where for say GBP 10 or 20 or whatever you get one figure from each code which, let's be honest, adds up to a lot of figures for an individual to order but if like me you're also a gamer would just be amazing to get hands on.
I've personally never used Pendraken's figures for RPG (no wait...I do sci-fi with them, my bad! But Fantasy RPG would be a lot more widespread I reckon) but I certainly would (purchasing extras surely of the figures I need larger quantities of than one)
I'd love to have 11 different Goblin figures (totally different ones, one for each code) to RPG a scenario or a skirmish force and would certainly buy the range in a heartbeat.
But I don't really have much use for 1 x General, 2 x hobgoblins, 2 x bat swarms, 1 x giant spider, 6 x riders, 6 x warwolves and (actually these I might....) but 45 x foot does me little to no good as an RPG player. That's for people who field armies and I, well, don't. If I field 10 of a figure that's heaps and heaps. HEAPS! But 10 Goblins, to stay on the example, all the same just kills it for me. 10 Goblins made of a mix of the bow, club, spear and sword led by the command figure on a chariot...now that I can dig!
Believe me, I know it's impossible to do but this is a request page, right?
So my request is for Pendraken to market its entire fantasy range to the RPG community and I'll bid GPB20 on a fair price for it
Heck I'd even buy the dungeon sets to go with them just for a laugh and a little project to put together over a couple of weekends (I'm doing plastic spaceships at the moment so don't think I wouldn't)
Hope your van's back on track after the Phalanx incident and you're all well
Peace

Hi S, good to hear from you.  The idea of a kind of 'sample' pack is something I've thrown around a few times, maybe not the size you're talking about, but say 10 figures from a particular line, for £1.50 or so.  I'll have a think about it, and we might be able to do something along those lines.

The Dungeon Set is almost ready, complete with rules, I'll be finishing it off this weekend hopefully.

How did you get on with those Orcs and Heavy Weapons?
Title: Fantasy Requests
Post by: Holmesburg on 29 June 2010, 01:46:14 AM
The call of 10mm has been heard by my ears. The need for heroes, anti-heroes (pending on perception) and assorted NPC's has been awakened in my heart. My wallet is open, yet I  must close it, for what I seek cannot be found...

Down to Business. Here is my wish list for fantasy rpg, for what ever rules work for you.

The List:
Heroes (not necesarily one but an assortment ranging from gallant to rogue)
Anti Heroes (ranging from not gallant to down right naughty)
Villagers (Farmers, Smiths, Inn keepers, you know the type)
Witch Hunters, Religious Orders, etc.
Lackeys (for the above heroes and anti-heroes)

The historical and fantasy lines provide enough cannon fodder to provide for mass combat, alas the soldiers have nobody to go home to when all is said and done.

Please make it possible to make 10 mm the line where RPG, skirmish and mass combat can be had in one scale.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'd like to see a couple of new sculpts for you Fantasy Tribal Lizardmen range:

   
These would nicely fill a couple of holes in the range.

Thanks, Martyn

Yeah, thanks. I did think about using the 15mm range, but they're armed with spears & swords. I need them a bit more primitive for what I have in mind.

Cheers, Martyn

Also need fantasy range "Warriors of the Sun God". Could include Jaguar warriors, Eagle warriors, warrior priests, crocodile suit wearers, Cuachic veterans with flayed skin suits and Mohawks....ummm, I seem to be talking about an overdue historical range, don't I?

oooo  the HIVE from 100 Kingdoms done in 10mm  :o  That would be waaay too krazy awesome ;D  I would vote for something like them.  The Bugs in the Sci-fi range are great for the Starship Trooper type of games, but "The Hive" with medieval hand weapons and that flying wasps with riders would be great. Not to mention the range of minis FierceKitty was describing  8)

Truth be told...disastrous!
My in-house skills are much better in my mind than they are in the "lead"!
I mean they're not bad...but they're not good enough to present, either. Yet.
What can I say...I tried out a few, didn't like them (just didn't come out how they looked in my mind, really!), got upset with myself, ate lots of chocolate and moved on to other projects! Such as the glorious HOTT armies I ordered from you guys yesterday, which I eagerly await
LOL!
Soon, oh so soon, I'll give them another crack. Most of the minis I still have in the bag, don't worry. That said they're also been a move of my "games room" from my bedroom to my missus' spare room (she plays, too!)
It just takes more practice and patience than I can muster at present and it's a nice ongoing little project to dig my hands into from time to time.
When they're half decent I'll photograph them for you, and if I decide to give it another crack from scratch I'm happy to contribute a few bob to purchasing the raw figures to chop and slash away at
Regards
S.

Men range: Arabian Knights types - As well as Sinbad, lots of cavalry armoured/unarmoured, levy type infantry etc etc... this is not at all another plug for a mid-east renaissance range :P

Only for being sure: Werewolfs miniatures have my vote, as Andymix and Kesseki I also would like to build up a Norse army in the future :)

Title: Re: Fantasy suggestions
Post by: Dunnadd on 07 August 2010, 04:35:02 PM
werewolves, gnolls and bugbears - oh yes - got my vote. Would love some werewolves just covered in fur and fighting with claws and teeth and others half-changed into wolf-man form with shields and swords or axes.
Title: Re: Fantasy Requests

Anti Heroes (ranging from not gallant to down right naughty)
Villagers (Farmers, Smiths, Inn keepers, you know the type)
Witch Hunters, Religious Orders, etc.
Lackeys (for the above heroes and anti-heroes)

i'd vote for this too, anti-heroes including necromancers, liches, death knights (evil equivalent of a templar knight - half knight half necromancer), priests, healers, templar knights (half priest/healer, half-knight) etc

Foot and mounted packs and three stage character packs would be nice too

I am putting together a Warmaster Fantasy Samurai army.  See the trial army lists for the army selector.

Anyway, that army selector calls for Oni, Imps, Tengu, and Temple Dogs (I assume Fu Dogs). 

I've been looking for what I can use for Oni and Imps, and had resolved to use 10mm Orcs in loincloths, but can't find any.   I was thinking about 10 mm Goblins in loincloths or 6mm Goblins for the Imps.  If there are plans to make these up, I can wait a bit as I am finishing up my daemon armies.

I am planning on Sculpting my own 10mm Tengu.  If the results are OK, I will share.

I hadn't thought much about the Fu Dogs, other than considering using 10mm lions instead.
Title: Japanese Fantasy suggestions
Post by: BlackEd on 12 August 2010, 03:54:55 PM
Well, before I get reproved, let me formally add my votes for:

Tengu
Oni
Fu Dogs

Leon, thanks for pointing me to the 10mm Goblins for Imps.

The Warmaster list also calls for Ronnin.  I was planning on using Samurai without a back banner.  If you have anothger suggestion, I'd like to hear it!

Of course!  I visited Mongolia -- the soveriegn country, not the Chinese province -- about 10 years ago.  I remember that in Ulaan Baatar was museum that had the "Ten Terrific Dieties".  (I think the translator wanted the word "terrifying" but didn't quite get there.)  All had red skin tones.  All were snarling.  All were terrifying ( and terrific!).

Post by: Stormcrow on 30 November 2010, 05:06:10 PM
Hey Leon, Would ya need Licensing or Special Permissions to do a Classic Monsters Theme, to stock the Dungeons ? Maybe like a Universal Line- Frankenstein, Dracula, Werewolf, the Mummy Etc......... as Special Boss Creatures , or Character Driven Add ons. Say the release of Themed Dungeon Rooms, the Barons Lab ,  or Draculas Crypt ?

Stormcrow  ;)
Title: Re: Classic Monsters Theme
Post by: Leon on 30 November 2010, 06:45:27 PM
Werewolves and Mummies are fine as they are mythological creatures, and Dracula could be substituted for a generic vampire with nice clothes on...

I'm not sure on Frankenstein, as he was created by Mary Shelley nearly 200 years ago now, and someone will still own the copyright somewhere.

 ???  I think the Flesh Golem they made for "Ravenloft" aswell,so that would work awsome. I rekon he'd need to be slightly oversized model wise, to pack a punch, say slightly bigger than Human size. You could create some wicked scenrios, of being chased through the Dungeon,maybe rescuing a Femme fatelle or two. You could incorporate him and the Dungeon into different eras too, Sword and Firearm Eras, even pitch Monster against Monster for those classic B movie moments.  X_X

Hmm... I could look at converting one of the armoured warboars, take some of the armour off, and make a separate rider for them?  Wouldn't be as many to a pack though, cos they're a lot bigger.   :-\

Hello all
I am a big role playing fan and am so glad you make such great high quality figures with such a wide variety. I’ve just stared to slowly to build my dungeon and I am fully hooked! 

I would really like a treasure chest no dungeon is complete without some well guided treasure. You also have the disguiser in the form of a chest, would be good to use him in conjunction with a model like this

Adding my vote for a heroes pack.  (wizards, rangers, clerics, etc.).  Would be nice to have mounted versions too to represent heroes in mass battles.

I'll add my vote for Gnolls too... Although I was considering using Beastmen as a close substitute.
Title: Re: Fantasy Suggestions
Post by: Dunnadd on 26 September 2011, 08:41:04 PM
Tribal wood elves - some with with hair spiked Celt style, others with braided hair or with horned or antlered helms, animal skull helms, fur cloaks .

Also tribal wood elf cavalry with bone or leather head armour on the horses and with antlers attached to their horses' heads.

Like the armoured and armed gnolls/werewolves/wolf-headed beastmen they could also double for troops in a chaos army if painted differently.
