Title: WW2ish Fantasy
Post by: wargamingpastor on 01 September 2013, 07:22:39 AM
Wondering if people who knew the Pendraken ranges better could give me a hand.
I'm working on a little WW2 Fantasy project in the spirit of Panzerfauste initially inspired by the Desert Rats and normal fantasy Rats carrying assault rifles.
So I'm looking to cover each of the main fantasy races, humans shouldn't be a problem, but Orcs, Elves and Dwarves are where I'm stuck.
Can people point me to parts of the range for each of these races that would work with minimal conversion.
Here's an example of what I'm thinking:

Mister Orc F03 carrying a Polearm could easily pass for an Orc with a rifle and a fixed bayonet (so well I'm wondering if that is what he really is?). Also potentially thinking about the dwarves with handguns, blunderbusses and the flamethrowers.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Long live the small WW2 Fantasy niche!

I would say your biggest problem would be the difference in size between the different ranges  :-\

I did think the Dwarves I already have were pretty huge, closer to 15mm Dwarves I've bought in the past. Maybe I could mix it up a bit with 10mm for some and 15mm for others. Apart from that it is a fantasy setting so I'm not too bothered if things seem larger than you would expect.
