They're beautiful.

The only thing that would make them more beautiful would be lady bumps. (There's a sideline no-one else does!  :-\)

Nice stuff. Any chance of 432, BTR's and BMP's. Also 62 turret for the 55 (yes I know the hull is a bit longer but.....)

Is that the one with the funky carriage where you can raise or lower the height of the gun like some sort of military transformer?

Is that a bone fide military term - "funky"?  :D

May I also suggest "bitchin'", "smokin'" and "knot-ear"?

"I'd love a bitchin' Centurion with the smokin' 105mm. Pity it's knot-ear."

These have arrived safely at Pendraken HQ, so we'll get them into the moulding queue.  Early estimates would be sometime around September I'd think, as we've got so much to get released first.

Yeah, that's planned. I'm just wondering where my wishes will take me after Korea 1950?

From recent posts, I'm quite taken with a 1941 Russian army - so that would mean T35's. Perhaps a Meerkat army from the Battle of Great Fearfulness.  Then again, I'm still lacking a Byzantine army, and some Myceneans in Dendra army. Oh no! British Napoleonics - they're worth a good whinge.

Not that I don't have enough on my proposed purchase list: Ancients, 1944 Western Front, and I'm still toying with some early WWI and perhaps even some ECW.

So may options, so many Pendraken dreams to make reality.

The way I look at it, fsn, is that if the Good Fairy were to plonk them all down, fully painted and based, in front of you, you would be bored with them within six months. I probably would. So it's just nice to savour the anticipation. And to know there's yet another period around the corner.....  :)
Title: Re: Latest Masters
Post by: fsn on 04 June 2013, 03:39:09 PM
So true.

Unfortunately for me, I've been reading up about Centurions and all then other conflicts they've been engaged in. Suez '56 is looking good, Golan heights '73 - but then I'd need ....  well you follow me.

Don't appologise its been very entertaininge taking the mickey out of FSN, who by the way has taken it all on the chin.   We will need somethign to carry on with once his lusting for Centurions has been sated

When he finally does get them, will he go somewhat Pythonesque when firing by saying, "stwike him Centuwion, vewwy woughly!"? :-\

Filthy boys!

Without Chinese in Mao caps, the whole thing could be off. No point in setting myself up with Korean war Centurions without something to fight them.

Byzantines now. I've got Saxon, Viking and Norman armies waiting to paint. Fancy a bit of a Norman v Byzantine in Sicily. Any plans for Byzantines, Pendraken gnomes?

See, I told you it would be a temporary infatuation.

But maybe you could try and go with Australians in 'Nam?

So its official - fsn doesn't want Centurions.

Leon - cancel everything.

Oh well, if fsn is going for the Korean Winter then 'Biggus Dickus' as a
nickname may not be the best idea!  :d
