I keep asking about this at all the shows. Used by the French and Americans, with or without wheels, gunshield and flash suppressor.
A few pictures to help you along:

How about redoing the WW1 Turks. I bought some a few years ago and quite frankly they leave much to be desired so I did not bother and they are still in their bags. Is there any possibility that these figures could be upgraded to the current standard with some more poses?
How long ago did you buy them, because we had the Turks redesigned a few years back. Have you got any photo's, or can you describe the poses, as you might have the older ones?
Hi
It must have been 10? years ago. If they have been redesigned my apologies. Any chance of some pictures as I have been keen to do the battle of Kut for ages
You'll definitely have the older models there then. We've changed a lot of the older figures from a variety of the ranges, simply because they weren't up to the standards of the newer stuff. If I get chance to cast some off, I'll get some pics up.
David , as you have been adding quite a few packs to your WW1 ranges, can i suggest the following- Belgian Force Publique and Portugese Askaris for E Africa plus Ghurkas, Arab irregular camel cavalry and irregular mg s for the Middle East range. Ranjit.
I also bought some Turks a couple of years ago. The two poses. one crouched advancing, the other kneeling with his rifle at the ready. They could sure do with perhaps a more enthusiastic advancing and firing pose.
The one thing that lets the WW1 range down is the artillery crews. Would it be possible to have at least four different poses for gunners. Also have different poses for those manning the really heavy guns?
please do bedouin cavalry first as these could work with my Sudan campaign. I am not a big fan of the Mahdis cavalry, they look great for an Imir but not regular cav. I will definitly be picking up any arabs and especially any T.E. Lawrence figs.
saw the irregular arab cav on the WWI list will check them out. Have some questions on them in the Historical section.
Agree with Martyn's comments. The heavy gun crew are the same as field guns and carrying a shell or a gun spike for a field gun does not give the impression of what they should look like
You can count on me as a customer for any Belgian Force Publique and Portuguese Askaris (some Portuguese Metropolitan army would also be nice). I have already spent a small fortune amassing most of Pendraken's current East Africa range, but these figures would really round out the range and open up a whole new assortment of scenarios.

Hi,
How about a WWI U-Boat? Not sure if it's worth it since Pendraken make a WWII variant.
S.
How about an armored train with optional cars ? The track could be used for multiple periods too.
S.
If you do that, I would like to see it in "N" gauge so it will sit cleanly on standard RR model track.
Is the N scale compatible with 10mm then? That opens up a whole range of possibilities ;D
It's not far off, 10mm is roughly 1/150th.
even ww2 armored train :)
Capt. Verbeek, you culd use the Spahi's from the Franco-Prussian range as Bedouin cavalry?
Leon - thank you for the reply. I think the WW1 U-Boats tended to be smaller. On this site, there is a lot of info about all the different models:

For WW1

Thanks for the links Sgt., I was checking that site earlier when I first saw this thread. I've checked some pics as well, so it's something we'll bear in mind, although we could probably do with another designer at this rate!
Oh Yes, RCW & PolishWar of 1920. I am up for these.
Agree with fitting to commercial N gauge tracks.

How about some late war Austrians in helmets? -infantry,trench raiders ,assault toops. Plus ,and not in helmets , alpine troops.
How about a couple of packs? A pack of infantry and one with mgs. The early war Serbs could do with some allies.
Apologies for the delay here! I've just uploaded some customer pics onto our Flickr account, and I've put them in the Photo's section:
http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=392.0 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=392.0)
I personally have been able to covert the WW2 U Boat into a WW1 U Boat not hard.
Yes please, great suggestions Curry,i'll certainly buy them. Ken
I am dying to do the complete Eastern Front for 1914. The current early war German poses are really putting me off though. The running pose in particular. Anyone else unhappy with them? Certainly having an extra pack of different poses would appeal to even those that like the current ones?
Thanks for any input.
We've got three different codes for the early war, GP1, GP23 and GP24 can all be used. If it's just the running pose that's not your cup of tea, let us know, and we'll just send the other pose.
Anyone suggested these? They could make for really nice models! I'm talking the Divisional or Army level guns (150mm and greater).
Having a 200mm or 300mm gun on the rear of your table would be quite a sight! Realistically though, I would love to see 150mm (or equivalent) done for the Russians, Germans, and Austrians at least.
Anyone else?
We've got:
British - 6" Howitzer, 9" Howitzer, and the 60lb'er.
German - 150mm Field Gun, and the 21cm Morser Lang Howitzer.
Russian - 152mm Howitzer.
We'll be doing an Austrian big gun at some point.
"German - 150mm Field Gun, and the 21cm Morser Lang Howitzer.

Excellent! Sorry I missed the Russian How.
I could certainly use the German How. as a proxy Austrian one in the mean time too!
The WW1 are really good, but any chance of a Stokes Mortar? I'm currently using 3" mortars from WW2 which aren't quite right. Also a some of the heavier British 9.45" and German 170mm mortars would be realy good.
Incidentally the British "toffee apple" mortars are lovely models.
I've added these to the list, so we'll see if anyone is interested. Have you tried just cutting the top off the Toffee Apple?
But the Stokes had a 3" calibre and the "toffee Apple" was 2" so usiing a cut off toffee apple would be inacurate :o
Also doesn't the loader in the toffee apple pack have a rather nicely modled toffee apple tucked under his arm where it's a bit hard to carve it down?
Actually i hadn't thought of this solution so I'll add a pack or two to my next order.
Dan
Also what about sappers/engineers and acrrying parties? There are lots of pictures of the PBI stugling forward with rolls of wire, pickets etc.

I think he's holding it out in his hands isn't he? Either way, we could always send you the loader from a different pack.

And I've added these.
I know that there are packs of riflemen with officers in it as I have several but there are no lewis gunners in kilts could this be looked at please, because at present I have had to caniblise a lewis guners torso a highlanders legs and head, to make these.
thanks
jon
BIG BANGS!!!
British 8", 12" and 15" howitzers?
British 9.45 and French 240mm heavy trench mortars, I think they were the same weapon, they certainly look alike in old photos.
German 420mm howitzer (Big Bertha?) 170 and 240mm trench mortars
As well as the Lewis gun, what about a Vickers team as well. And while your about it give them a tin hat for 1916 as well please.
hi, I was wondering if there is anyway the canadian auto cars can be put into production and a staff car?
thanks for listening
jon
Can I add my support for the MK V 8" Howitzer and the Krupp 42cm.
Both have a space waiting for them
thanks
jon
If Pendraken are going to produce these guns will they have correct crew figures to go with them? :(

Hello Leon
I do not know if others have asked but i would like to request WW1 Russian infantry Advancing in Greatcoat with Cap and fur hat please.
Thanks
I have a few pictures on my blog. You may have to look around but I think I have some on the linked page. Sorry they are a bit dark. Very nice figures.
http://myblog-lekw.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-01-05T12%3A39%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=7
If you would like I can take a few more pictures of the Russians and add to the blog this weekend?
Hello lekw,
Thanks for info.
Have looked at your blog, very nice pictures, hope you can add more, also maybe you know but in the Pendraken 1877 Russo Turkish war range there is a Russian figure adv with fixed bayonet peaked cap and rolled greatcoat which could pass for a WW1 Russian soldier, the code is RT2 Russian foot, furashka.
Cheers
Thank you very much I was not aware of the Russo Turkish figure and will have to buy some of those packs to add. I also seem to have misunderstood the original post and am sorry about that. I actually thought the post was asking for pictures of the WWI Russians. I hope forum members do not mind that I added the link to my blog.
Anyhow, yes I would also gofor new WWI russian packs. I am going to add some more 10mm pictures to the blog shortly. I am painting some of the WW1 Africa figures this weekend. Again sorry about misreading the post, and I hope the link to the blog was at least somewhat helpfull. I find pictures of figures go a long way.
Hello again lewk
Its good to see your blog, hope you put up pictures of your WW1 Africa figures
Toolsey
Okay added a few Russians to the blog. Hope to get the few East Africans I have painted up on the blog in the next few days. Hope forum members enjoy.
Hi
I was wondering what the chances were of these coming into production? Rifle grenadiers for the Briits, Americans and French and bombers for everybody. It would enable the proper squad structure to be used for platoon and company level games. 1x bomber squad, 1x rifle grenadier squad, 1x Lewis gun/Chauchat squad and 1x rifle squad for a Brit and American platoon, the French were a bit looser but still need the figures. German'sdidn't really bother with rifle grenades.
I don't have any of your WW1 Western Front packs, just the Middle East, so if these figures already exist in some packs then I apologise (but could you tell me which ones?).
Cheers
Agent Brown - the British Organisation is Leiws SECTION, Bomb SECTION, and 1-2 Rifle Sections. From memory the mills bomb was fires from a cup discharger which was fited to the bayonet fitment.
IanS
Sorry if my termnology was off but I'm pretty sure everyone knew what I meant. A platoon of 4 sectons then, each of roughly 8-10 men. Lewis section wth 1-2 Lewis gunners plus supports, Rifle Grenade secton with 3-4 rifle grenadiers plus supports, Bomber section with 4-5 bombers plus supports and a Rifle section with 8-10 riflemen.
Thanks Leon.
The French WW1 grenade launcher can be used for WW2 army lists as well, still waiting patiently for VB launcher to be done. Oh and mortars infnatry etc etc
HELLO,
Have you intention to make early Belgian lancers,Chasseurs à Cheval (with mitrailleuses Hotchkiss portatives), infantry in chapeau(carabiniers) and limbers?
French early chasseur à cheval, zouaves and limbers?
Thank you.
I'll add my support for this request as rifle grenadiers and bombers would help finish off the late WWI for the western front.
Me too - I quite fancy doing trench raids in 10mm and these would be useful figures to have.
Would you consider Russian higher command figures, winter variants and maybe a mortar?
Thanks.
Greetings
I'd agree. I've got 10mm Middle East figures and would venture into Western Front with the addition of bombers and rifle grenadiers as I could do 1:1 scale actions wiithout spending vast amounts.
Regards
Edward
Real outside request here, Seabrook lorries to go with the RNAS Lanchesters in Belgium/France/Russia
Big ugly brutes discussed in this thread on the landships site
http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=63528&p=3&topicID=37801392
Count me in for a couple of Seabrooks ;)
More concise info on the Seabrook here:

I was thinking of how you would cast it.
If the centre section was cast with one side up, the other down, and it slotted into the rest of the casting like a Thunderbird 2 pod (possibly retained by the gun pedestal having a "peg" at its base), that could give the customer a choice of to which side it was firing or even the option to "fold" the side up (OK, more cut and glue) and have it in transport mode. Might be easier to cast than as one piece as well.
Pendraken offers a casualty on strecher but what is missing are casualties on the ground. Just a pose (or two) per country and a few generics. I'm thinking that they could be used either as markers or, for details on terrain pieces. Face down, slumped over, curled up, sprawled out, etc...
Here are another gamer's really nice 28mm casualties that suit the description and are sure to inspire.

Could use some of those for my late war stuff.
Could use them fot VBCW as well :D
Always useful to have casualty markers, especially for WW1 games.
I have used the FPW casualties for early WW1, but could use some "official" early war and some late-war casualties.
