We've just got the first few masters for this range, with a lot more to come, but I thought I'd give people a bit of a peek as to what to expect. We'll be storing these figures as they arrive for a big release to start 2011! Remember, patience is a virtue! :P

Tease :P ;) ;D
Very nice indeed! Good detail, raised a bit which is nice for painting, and good choice of poses - looks like we'll get at least two variants per pose type? It's great to see a couple practical "march attack" and skirmish poses with some character, likewise the command set - the two officers in particular have a lot of a personality. It also looks like there is enough texture to the coat and trousers to take an ink wash pretty well. Good choice on the mix of "campaign" trousers along with some full dress details like the shako.
Looks like I better finish my ACW project this Fall and get ready for 2011!

Cheers Christopher! We're going for a couple of poses per pack, as a compromise between the gamers who want loads of poses, and the accurists who want them all regimented. Hopefully this will please everyone! The 'march attack' poses seemed the best ones to start with as well.
Teh beauteh.

I'm holding off Napoleonics at the moment because these are coming. Nice to see they are a reality now. What nations are you doing. Yes, I know French...
Starting with French and Austrians, plus some of the Allies for Wagram, then moving onto the British, etc.
vey nice sculpting indeed but what is the soldier doing with the musket between his legs :o

As for the mounted officer - most likley for he sake of casting you chose that the end of the boots are on the same level as the belly of the horse?
:o Well. Looking good!
I will buy some nice work.

This has nothing to do with forgetting the drill regulation, a most awkard position to load your musket, you would knock out your front man as well, the construction of the musket demands a certain way how to load it. ::)

Yeah, I was just joking...!
Do people think it's enough of a problem to need the figure resculpting though?
I don't (but then I'm not renowned for my purism)...I'm also not entirely convinced that a unit under fire would remember to place their feet correctly at that angle with the regulation positioning of the musket. I've just had a run-through of this with a mop and I find the position of bracing between my feet to be much more intuitive...
...and if a musket can be reloaded prone, then I see no reason why it can't be reloaded vertically from between my feet...
Please do educate me further though von W (& others) as I am coming to this as a layman really & may have missed the trick entirely! ;D
I did not say to look at the feet, but why would you chose the most complicated way to load a musket?
Remember you were squezed in 3 ranks, for width about half a yard and the front men one yard in front of you.
Of course you could load a musket on the ground, sitting or keeling, but not in rank and file.
The length of a French musket was about 5 feet without bayonet, there it was always fixed with the musket (at least in combat) - it was more up to 6 feet length. The avarage French infantryman was about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 8 inches.
Now take a musket - place yourself into rank and file and then try to load it between your legs - possible yes - but very unlikley.
Here just for fun - a loading sequence of a French musket (Prussian and Saxon muskets are loaded differently as well as Austrian ones in the French revolution.
The loading sequence, the lack of space and the construction of the gun whould deem a certain way how to handle the musket
And yes - very nice sculpts, in case the sculptor can do such a in between leg pose, he easily can do it right as well.

vW,
In general I agree that the pose with the butt to the left is the more standard, however I do wonder how much we are over-influenced by close-order drill manuals. These are meant to be skirmishers, rather than a static firing line - with plenty of room around them, would they load in a different way? Was the close-order drill really the best way, or just the best way in close ranks? I don't know myself. Still, perhaps one pose that could serve two purposes, depending on how people wanted to use them (e.g. making up bases in firing lines), might be good.
Cheers,
Christopher
PS - I could swear I've seen that loading pose in a heroic painting or two, but can't put my finger on it.

I'll make a note of that, I might have forgotten in 20 years time...! :P
@CATemWolde
Even as a skirmisher you would like to load your musket in a comfortable way which makes it easy for you, you could steer you car with your legs - but usually you would use your hands and arms.
As said before, in case the sculptor can do a musket between leg pose he could do a better one as well.
He hasn`t got the right buttons either.
I have really wanted to do Napoleonics in 10mm for quite awhile but I have been waiting for multi-pose. Seems they are almost here! I am sold.
I have friends who were put off Napoleonics for good because of the eternal nit-picking among Napoleonic gamers about this or that detail.
I for one admire the craftsmanship of the models. Cast them and be damned, I say! :-*

Hear, hear.
Couldn't agree more.
I've been a wargame for more decades than i care to remember, and i consider that a difficult thing to claim as i have never collected, nor much played the Napoleonic era.
I've always avoided it precisely because of the inveterate nit-picking and pompous bluff od the average Napoleonic 'expert'.
That said, i do believe the point of contention revolves around this...
This clearly well practised chap reloads to the side, as per the drill manual illustrations.
OK. But the thing i'd note is how much space he's taking up and how much movement in his body. How wide the musket swings, etc.
So let's take a look at these chaps.
Very much more 'to the centre', and in formation seemingly far harder to reload.
Now add to that the stress and panic of being in battle with people trying to kill you, or your mates getting slotted right next to you...drill manuals be damned!! Just get the damned thing loaded any way you can!!
That said, i guess you chaps as Pendraken may want to look at a rescult to 'get it right'? It might put the purists off if they think the figures are 'wrong', or poor quality.
I for one however agree with Aart.

Cheers Luddite!
I spoke to the designer tonight about redoing the pose, so we'll try and sort something out. It might be a small point, but if it's going to put off potential customers, then it's best to fix it. He's going to be progressing with the march attack variations first, so it shouldn't be an issue for a while yet.
I've done 18th century re-enactment (I know, I know) and it is easier even when free firing at speed to load outside the legs as per the video above. It is a matter of balance and swinging a rather long bit of metal and wood around in close proximity to others on either side.
So I would like the pose to be as per Drill Manual if possible.
And It's more stylish that way...
Damn all this waffle - get the lil blighters cast and damn the scurvy dogs who care on such trivial points as 'inside' or 'outside', Im just chuffed to NAAFI breaks that theyre on the horizon!!!!
:D
God save the Queen
A pity that is is seemingly impossible to discuss anything related to a pose without nit - picking.
Here here!
I wouldn't worry. So far as I can see, the comments were appreciated by Pendraken and they're looking into possible adjustments, following some natural double-checking of their own. That's a very open process, and I'm sure we'll see more of the same from what I've seen here on the forum.
Cheers,
Christopher
Right then, Dave's been busy over the weekend, and he's done a conversion on the loading figure to make it more accurate. So here it is:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4098/4790772440_77953e3dc6.jpg)
What are peoples thoughts on this one?
And also, could the original figure be used as a 'fixing bayonet' pose instead?
Uhm ... (can't believe I'm saying this) ... isn't the musket stock supposed to be resting on the left side?
Quote from: CATenWolde on 13 July 2010, 05:10:38 PM
Uhm ... (can't believe I'm saying this) ... isn't the musket stock supposed to be resting on the left side?
>:( ???
If it is, then we'll have to get a fresh figure designed, as the way the arms are, we couldn't convert that ourselves.
I hardly dare to say, but it sould be on the left side - still better than between the legs.
With the arms where they are, I wonder if the original pose could be changed to a "priming the pan" position, holding the musket more or less horizontal from the chest. Look on page 2 of this thread, the top row of the manual illustration. Actually, between priming, ramming, and firing, I suppose all three basic positions would be covered. Given the scale, it could also represent a skirmisher waiting with a loaded musket, while his partner loaded, etc.
QuoteI wonder if the original pose could be changed to a "priming the pan" position
Nice idea.
I love this - we can use all these 'mistakes' as well, cor even more poses, I mean it would be a waste not to use the hard work the sculptor has done.
yuk yuk yuk
:D :D
These arrived last week, but I haven't had chance to get them up. They are the first lot of conversions from the French dollies we've put up previously, so let us know what you think!

Looking good! It's very nice to see a greatcoat option right from the start.
Trying to think of some constructive criticism ... about the only thing I can come up with is it might be nice to have some more modeling on the musket, to make the barrel easier to pick out, and perhaps make sure that the bayonet isn't "cleaver" thick. This might be a photo-angle thing.
The NCO is a nice addition, but personally, if I had a chance to pick another pose or two, it would be for a foot officer pose. You have one in every unit, and they tend to stick out, more so than the colour bearer (as the attention is taken up by the flag itself). Foot officer figures can give a unit a bit of personality all by themselves.
Otherwise, just keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Christopher
PS - going to be in London from the 3rd to the 13th on mixed family vacation and research, so if there's anything cool going on let me know! May also take a day trip to Bristol.
I love the figure of the long coat and the sabre... superb!!!

The bayonet's aren't too bad, and they'll thin down during the moulding process as well.
What kind of foot officer are you looking for? We've got the command for each pack, plus the NCO's as well.
I just meant that the "command set" (officer, colour bearer, drummer/coronet) could include an officer A and an officer B, i.e. a couple of different poses for variety's sake. For instance, the one you have is a great active pose, and maybe "B" could be more staid, etc.
Not a deal breaker, as most lines only have a single officer variant - just thinking out loud.
Cheers,
Christopher

I get what you mean now. I can have chat with the designer about a different pose.
Out of interest, would people prefer to have the command in with the 30 figures in the packs, or as a separate code of their own?
My vote is for separate command packs. There are so many different ways of basing Napoleonics that it would be hard to get exactly the right mix - some people will do 1:60 (or even higher) and want a ratio of about 1 command set per 12 figures, other will do 1:20 or even 1:10 and obviously need much less.
Quote from: Leon on 26 July 2010, 11:17:54 PM

A separate code, but of 9-12 figures instead of 30.
You are very good about special orders, but I think it would be nice to have two pack sizes in the catalog for most codes -- say (at today's price) 1.50 for 12 or 3.00 for 30. I don't mind paying a premium for the flexibility. It lets me budget an order around my unit sizes without putting you to extra work with odd figure counts.

I'll make a note of the separate command packs.
The smaller packs option is probably something we wouldn't want to do really. The moulds all contain between 32-40 figures, so to only take 15 off and melt down the rest would seriously reduce our production rate. We do keep spares of a lot of codes, but we don't have the space required to keep everything, so a lot of it would have to go back in the melting pot. We will always take orders for specific numbers of figures, that's not a problem, we just wouldn't want to encourage it too much.
These have finally won me over, I have been kidding myself for a while now that I will stick to 15mm for Napoleonics as the offerings from Pendraken and others have not quite been right. I have the 1812 French infantry and Lancers of which the former were disappointing but the latter excellent. These are just a whole new level of excellence. The only question is what to do until you bring out my favoured Prussians?
I'm sure we can offer you something to keep you busy!
I'm sure the French will keep me busy enough I'm now confident that there will be an extensive quality range of Napoleonics available in 10mm and will be prepared for a bit of a wait.
Would that be 1806 Prussians? I live in hope!!!
Will Pendraken please stop producing such fantastic figures? I already have a large supply of painted figures that I now want to sell and start again because of this. Thank you! :'(

Good stuff!, it's worth the waiting.
On the command set I aslo prefer it in separate packs... I do 1:60.
BTW are all the horses going to be the in the same pose?, this thing detracted me from some lines in the past... I hope for at least two variants. 8->

I would guess at just the one pose unfortunately. To provide two means either sculpting two separate figures, which doubles the costs, or sculpting the rider and putting him on two different horses, which then doubles the moulding required. Either way, it's not really practical. The command could have different horses though.
A simple trick I use with cavalry for variety is to (carefully) alter the horse's tail to different angles as well as staggering the placement on bases [even if in line] - this will provide a bit of visual break-up and with a nice variety of colouring amongst your gee-gees [including manes & tails & blazes etc] the 'sameness' drops out on the table. And with command being different it works double-well too. Simples. 8) m/ <)
I'm curious why you don't use separate horse and rider figures - too difficult to produce?
Thanks for the tricks nikharwood!, I have to think about it.

It's just easier to do them that way, and also keeps the costs down.
I prefer one piece castings too, easier to paint for me and no assembly. I know it's only a case of sticking the rider to the horse but I want to get them on the table asap. Seperate riders does have it's advantages though if the rider is moulded with the saddlecloth you only have to sculpt/mould one lot of horses you lose that if the saddlecloth is moulded to the horse but conversion possibilities are much greater.

I am curious if your new Napoleonics 1809 line will be compatible in scale, height and bulk, with your 1813 Russians, Austrians and French? Will there be new cavalry models for cuirassiers and dragoons or will the 1813 models fill those niches? Thanks!
Here's an appallingly out of focus pic! The new Nap French is in the middle, with a couple of 1812 Polish I found on the side.

I think the Carabiniers would be better with short light infantry type gaiters or overalls rather than the over the knee ones especially as you are aiming at 1809. This was a major reason why I did not buy the offerings from one of your competitors. Other than that top notch. :)
I agree with NTM about the gaiters. Very interesting the sappers

That could be why the range was never completed? I'm not sure, I'd have to check with Dave. Hopefully the new Napoleonic range will expand to replace these older ranges.

Can I request something?? - What about a standard Hussar? with dolman, pelise, plume in his shako - its just no- one makes a standard hussar - albiet MM do - but they look like dwarves on horseback!! Ive tried the old "risk" 10mm cav as they are 10 mm but they dont have the pelise :(. These could cover every aspect of "odd" country hussars - German states - and make do for other nations. Any thoughts??

All different poses, as requested! We'll keep using a variety as we progress with the range.

Very nice. Congratulations !!!
very nice indeed, when can we order :D
Excellent 8)
Just taking a second look they look great, however, not sure how many cavalry regiments took the standard into battle, I think none or very few indeed.

Three different poses of horses.
:-bd
Looking great! I love the fellow with the trumpet!
I think March's Releases will be some of the WW2 stuff that's been shown recently, so the next lot of Naps may have to wait until April. We'll have a look and see what we can get moulded. There's only the 3 cavalry types in the drawer, so it's not much of a release Nap-wise.
Leon, are the NPF numbers 1 - 17 available for purchase?
Ah yes but you have the masters!! thats a giant step forward ;)
And I like the 3 poses for your horses - great job on the Hussars!

Austrians will be started next, hopefully in the next couple of months.
There's a full list of what will be done here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1844.0 (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1844.0)
First off is the Carabiniers:

Those look great...
Note-to-self: you really don't need to be redoing your Napoleonics. No, really.
Note-to-Nik; But they are very nice sculpts, and you would have them painted in a jiffy, and you know deep inside that you really want these, no?
;D :d ;D
Alex (who is very happy that he has no interest in Napoleonics whatsoever).
Alex mate, that's not helping ;) ;D
Thanks though...
Wonderful!! Get them out to us yesterday!! ;)
I agree with Nic, all the Nappys are Great!! However we needed a lot more of the Cav. So Thank you!!!
:'( :'( whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy damm those evil sculpters :d
;)
yet more great stuff, my wish list is getting longer and longer :(

IanS (in the middle of refurbishing hos 15mm Nappys - give me tanks any day).

Oh no. No, no, no.
Hahaha. Re-doing them would surely be ridiculous. Out of the question. Perish the..
Or would it? :-SS
Cheers,
Aart
;D So lucky that I am just starting off with Napoleonics
Man, you are lucky - look at all of that 10mm Nappy Goodness coming our way :D
Great to see the Carabiniers in bearskin caps and not that namby-pamby white uniform they only wore for two or three years. Dare I say they'd also paint up nicely as horse grenadiers of the guard. :D
Oh Wow!
Looks like I am going to be selling the car after all.........
So how much will it cost exactly at a ratio of 1 to 1?
May be I should sell the wife's car first? :-w
