Title: Tanks in my memory
Post by: fsn on 22 June 2013, 08:28:14 PM
Dear Leon, or Webby Person

You've got rid of the Zulu background, and mightily pleased I am. However, the background is now something really interesting: Shermans, and Churchills? You tease us (we dung beetles that push the Pendraken poop) but then, like every girl I've accidentally walked in on (4 and counting) cover up the interesting bit really quickly. 

Is there some way the we (the mayonnaise in the Pendraken salad) may be permitted to adore the full majesty of the the modern masterpiece that is the background?

That was a mistake, I picked a page at random to see the background change, nice Samuri, why have I never found those before!

Damn and blast and Penelope's Tits! (She's a keen bird watcher.)

Seeking the Samurai, I've just found the whole Renaissance section! I didn't know that I wanted Elizabethans before now. I don't even know what a Stradiot is!

It's actually been on Matt's website to-do list for a little while, so I wasn't sure when it was going to go live.  Looks pretty darn good as well if you ask me!

The same picture of Fred's entry is also adorning the current Pendraken catalogue cover, so it's definitely getting some use!

I think the Elizabethan and Tudor ranges would make nice Empire troops for some 10mm fantasy games

Well lets hope you sell lots more tanks!!

I have some of the elizabethan figs to make pike units for my Warmaster Dogs of War - and they do go very nicely with the GW figs - photos here http://www.kerynne.com/games/WarmasterDogsofWar.html

I think enbaji has a whole army using these figures which look really smart.
