Title: Opportunistic rules support
Post by: Luddite on 01 March 2012, 11:49:10 AM
Something that several manufacturers seem to do, that as far as i can see Pendraken have so far avoided, as 'army packs' that support specific rule sets.

So Pendraken don't have for example 'Warmaster Ancients Roman Army Pack' or similar.

I was wondering why?
Would this kind of indirect rules support be something people would buy?

Personally i avoid them as they almost never contain figure mixes that i would need for my army builds, and i like Pendraken's flexible approach to their basic pack constitution.

However, Field of Glory (Ancient/Medieval, Renaissance, and presumably Napoleonics) have 650pt 'fixed starter lists', that would be easy to put an army pack together for.  I can see a possible market there...

Given that Pendraken currently don't have inhouse rules (does Dungeonworld count?) is this an opportunity missed?

What rules would Pendraken minis support most 'naturally'?

Now look here... >:(

If Pendraken are going to HIDE this sort of thing in PLAIN VIEW, tucked away on their impossible to find interweb shop site thingy, how is a chap expected to know about them?

Eh?

Answer me that and stay fashionable...

Excuse me while I crawl back under my muppet-rock.
