Pendraken Miniatures Forum

This is only my second ever post here (though I'm a long time lurker) ...so I'm guessing another "Hello All!" is long overdue :)

Anyway, I recently got in touch with the Pendraken guys to see if it would be OK to include a couple of photographs of their mini's in an upcoming project of mine ...and Leon not only agreed, but also suggested that I should post something on the forum to let everyone know about it :)

So, if anyone is interested, I'll be releasing a set of printable terrain designed especially for 10mm sci-fi miniatures later this week - which look something like this:

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QDp90-V0AoY/T-t1bovxnBI/AAAAAAAABEc/pVgkUH_J95M/s1600/z10eg1.jpg)

I've tried to make the buildings as modular as possible - so that they can be joined together in a few different ways, and have several little detail pieces that can be affixed in various positions - to allow for some customisation.

The booklet will be available in pdf format (so you can print off as many buildings as you desire), will cost $4.99 (a little over £3), and be available to download through Wargame Vault, RPGNow, etc. (however, if anyone here is interested in a copy I'll set up a discount code so that the good folks on the forum can get it for a couple of dollars less ;) ).

So there you have it ...apologies if this comes across a bit like a shameless plug (I wouldn't have posted if Leon hadn't suggested it) ...but hopefully it has been of interest to a few folks. Also, if you would like a few more pics, just let me know and I'll see what I can rustle up :)

Hello!  :D
Great looking building so far, can we have more pictures please!

Hello Kris, and welcome :-h

The buildings look great and versatile, something I'd definitely be interested in, especially with the forthcoming 'revamp' of Pendraken's Sci-Fi range.

More photos would be welcome.

Cheers,

Kev

In that case ...here's a quick pic showing how they can be put together (though when using the 'cube-shaped' modules you can of course put as many together as you like to create low warehouse buildings, tall apartment blocks, T-shaped buildings, L-shaped buildings, etc):

Here's a look at something similar to the above example when it's been put together:

And a slightly larger image showing some of the detail:

And here's an example of what's included in this first set:

Those look great

Excellent  stuff

I was also looking at this today http://cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/index.cgi


Some interesting stuff on there

I also found this which was useful

OK then, it's been a bit of a rush to get it available for sale today, but the first set of Zone 10 (as in 10mm) terrain is now available for download :)

Here's the direct link (or just go to the Wargame Vault home page and search for 'zone 10'):
http://www.wargamevault.com/product/103482/Zone-10---Basic-Set-%2810mm-terrain%29?manufacturers_id=3785&filters=0_0_0_0


The cover price is $4.99 ...but, as I said previously, since Leon & Co were happy for me to include a couple of pic's containing a few Pendraken mini's, I've set up a discount for folks over here on the forums so you can grab it for $2.99 (around £2).

Here's the super/special/secret link to apply the discount :D

Looking good  :D I have been making card terrain for years so it is nice to see something designed for 10mm rather than me having to resize everything  :-bd

Yep, looks like a very good buy at £2, just wish that Leon and Dave would see the need for a load of not-Land Radiers, not-Rhinos and some not-Eldar Grav Tanks, plus any other not-whatever that anyone can think of.

I love card terrain and they look just up my alley! As it happens, I have a need for some nice sci fi scenery right now! Ive just got the Slavage Crew-Star Mogul rules to go along with a load of 15mm GZG minis I just bought, but seriously I lack any scale scenery to play (I tend to scatch build everything, but I aint got heaps of time as Im trying to finish my 28mm battle damaged/ghost town for WFB) So just a question, would it be OK to use as is (being its 10mm not far off 15mm) or do you reckon I would need to scale it up slightly (By about 10% or so) But for your generous discount, I really think I'm gonna take you up on the offer!
Are you doing any other scifi paper kits in similar scale in the future?

So just a question, would it be OK to use as is (being its 10mm not far off 15mm) or do you reckon I would need to scale it up slightly...

Since most of the 'cargo bay' style doors are around 20mm high, and each floor is about 25mm tall, you might be OK. However, the small doors will probably look a bit out of place with 15mm minis - but you don't have to use them (as they are an optional detail piece).

Anyway, here's a quick (black & white) test page you can print out and check for yourself:

You'll also notice that I've actually supplied two sizes of 'small door' in the set - which is just to allow for the fact that not all 10mm ranges are the same size (strange though that sounds).

I hope that helps :)

Most probably ...though that's assuming folks like this initial set  :-SS

Looks great Kris - I'm not really a fan of card terrain, but good luck with these - really nice to see more support for 10mm  8)

Just bought your 10mm download - looks really great and I hope to see more.

Thanks for the discount !

Glad you like 'em :)

...I hope to see more.

I'll probably do at least one more set this year (possibly sooner rather than later), and maybe try to add things like landing pads, factory buildings, generators, etc.

Looking good!

Excellent work Kris

have you thought about applying your talent to 10mm scale buildings for historical periods?

I'm tempted to have a go at some 10mm fantasy (vaguely dark age) stuff in the future - as fantasy is where my main interest lies.

But generally speaking (and if I'm totally honest) I'll usually work on something that I need myself (rather than trying to dream up something that might sell well), or a subject/area that currently holds my interest (damn my gamer ADD :-[ ). Hopefully that makes some kind of sense.

So if I take up 10mm Napoleonics for example, I'll probably end up making something that I/we can use for that :)

succumbed and bought your first set - cos the Pendraken sci-fi range is so good..................and FWC rules are so good too...........!

so now I want the next set and the one after that.

Nice work and thank you very much Kris

Kris fanatsy will give a good range of ancient to napolionic buildings.

I'll probably be working on a new sci-fi set (or maybe a mini-set) in the next couple of months ...however I also have the urge to build a couple of 10mm fantasy armies (based on my RPG campaign world) for mass battles ...so that might slow things down a little (though it might also mean that I start work on a dark-age/fantasy set as well).

I guess it's the usual story of so much to do, so little time  :-\

:D that would be handy  ;)

These look interesting, though I probably have too many of the 10mm Dropzone Commander ones to need even more unbuilt paper buildings  :)

The 10mm DC ones are available as .pdf files here: http://www.hawkwargames.com in the Downloads section. You need access to an A3 printer for the larger buildings.

Always good to see people doing 10mm terrain- helps the Jihad against 15s and 28s

awesome and useful love the aliens in the picture also haha would be cool to play a game with them
