Pendraken Miniatures are delighted to announce that we are teaming up with Total Battle Miniatures to stock their excellent 10mm resin ranges and take them around the UK show circuit (and Crisis in Belgium!)
Total Battle Miniatures produce a wide variety of high quality resin buildings and accessories, including their excellent 10mm 'Black Powder Europe' range. TBM also produce a variety of hamlet, village and town sets, each containing a selection of their buildings plus a flexible two-part resin scenic tile. All of the buildings conform to a base matrix allowing them to fit neatly into recesses in the scenic tile, giving the gamer dozens of options in how they arrange their towns!
There are some exciting new products on the way from TBM in the near future, including a extensive range of 10mm buildings for WWII North Africa, so keep an eye out for those as well! To see all of their current ranges, head over to the Total Battle Miniatures website: http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/index.html (http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/index.html)
We are very pleased to be working with Mark and Pete at TBM and look forward to showing off these high quality products at the shows.
We will be collecting our first batch of stock at the Sheffield Triples show next month, so please pop by the stand and have a look if you're attending. And for our customers outside the UK, not to worry, as we will also be adding the TBM ranges to our website as well.
And just to tempt you in a bit...

Nice one guys,
Their kit is very good, I have a load in 15mm.
Drool!
Good stuff. The TBM stuff is very nice, I have a bunch of it ( in fact most of the stuff pictured )
What's that you say? What's that noise? Oh, just the sound of my bank manager crying :)
I guess I have until Claymore to save up!
Those are particularly spiffy !
Cheers - Phil
Very attractive kit indeed!
Lovely stuff. They should do 'baggage elements'.
Greetings
That's very nice. I was saying only yesterday that I needed some C18th buildings as I was using 10mm Russian and N-scale British buildings as proxies for a town when we were trying out Black Powder with my SYW figures.
Regards
Edward
Yes, a mate of mine has some. The towns and villages are really nicely done. Not cheap, however.
Instabuy! my poor wallet!
Good news! I'm very happy with the models I won in the painting competition. In fact, I liked them so much I bought some more. Shrunken foot-print, correct scale height is a fine way to wargame!

Beautiful stuff; hope they will consider doing some 18th/19th century North American buildings...
Cheers,
Rob
Those chaps make some lovely little houses; I found them most useful with my Italian renaissance wars stuff.
Yes, that's great looking stuff! They have a lot of very nice modern 15mm stuff as well, I see.
Ace of Spades: They make an Americana line, I have some they fit well with ACW I believe a couple of differnt farm building's for sure which could also double for the American Revolution if that's what your looking for. Hope this help's? Rougue
We featured their Italian hilltop town in the 1859 demo game at Phalanx.

Thanks, I couldn't find it on their site but that's probably my fault then; I'll give it another go!

I hadn't realised Phalanx had been on as show for that long ;)
Thank you, we'll let you know.
;D ;D ;D ;D I'm very old.

The Americana range is designed for 6mm, although I'm sure it would still look good on the table with some of our 10's... :D http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/bigbattalions/6mm/americana.html (http://www.totalbattleminiatures.com/bigbattalions/6mm/americana.html)

Thank you Leon, you just saved my last bit of self confidence! I already wondered why I'couldn't find them... And since I do 6mm ACW as well... :D
Cheers,
Rob
Hi Leon
This is very good news - their models are brilliant - especially the 6mm items
Will you only be stocking the 10mm items - or 6mm as well.
Hopefully they will expand their 6mm range into 10mm - especially ACW snake fences....
Best regards
Kelvin

I generally use 6mm buildings with big battle 10mm armies. However I am very tempted to use 10mm Total Battle Miniatures Saxon structures with my 10mm Dux Britanniarum games.
lovely stuff..........
I have noticed these before and have been very impressed. :) I was going to buy a painted village as a Christamas present to myself if I got a work contract. As it happened that didn't happen until Feb and I was ready to order when they announced that they couldn't manage the painting any more. :'( I seem to already have lots of unpainted buildings in the queue so I'll put them back a little.
I really like the specially made base areas that have hedges and walls in the right places. :-\ This would fit in perfectly with my 18th - 19th century 10mm rules which allow the fortification of portions of villages and towns as strongpoints. Just the addition of a wagon or some bails/boxes and instant strongpoint. :D I have been meaning to ask if there are any suitable codes for using as barricedes etc.
This is something I will be doing, probably pick it up at a show (mmm Derby sounds good :)) or if they start painting them again I'll have one now.
Cheers, Rob :)

Only the 10mm for the time being. There's always the potential for us to order specific items for show collection maybe, but we'd need to chat with TBM about that, as if they're shipping them to us in advance of the show, it's the same costs as shipping them direct to the customer instead.
Hi Leon,
With TBM having just released a stupendous range of 100 Days Campaign Buildings in 6mm I looked to see if anyone going to SALUTE was stocking them. I couldn't find anyone. Like many members of this forum I use 6mm buildings to go with my 10mm Penraken figures, and I am always looking for new terrain to fill those odd gaps. I would love to get the four new churches in this range, and the Gemioncourt farm, just for starters. I would be surprised if I were the only one! Any chance you will think about stocking these for SALUTE?
Cheers,
Mollinary

No plans to stock them full time, as I'm hoping to persuade TBM to maybe scale these up for 10mm as well...
However, I've got a stock order coming from TBM soon, so I could ask them to send us whatever pieces you wanted, and then you could collect from our stand at Salute? Would that work?
Thanks Leon,
I'll e mail you.

Their homepage quotes a May 2015 date for these. A release date? Too late for Salute?

They are excellent little models, but am I alone in thinking the prices a little steep for unpainted items compared to, say, Leven?
Here is hoping they will do the range in 10mm as well as 6mm. I wonder what the numbers would be to convince them it was worthwhile? Perhaps if TBM let us know then we could see how many members here would be willing to pre-order them. Just a thought. :-\
I must say I am quite taken by the 'shrunken footprint' approach. Yes, the result is somewhat of a caricature of the actual building but the result is very plausible and attractive.
Will I buy them in 6mm? I don't know yet. This is because I'm currently pondering over whether or not I should convert all of my terrain to one scale - 10mm (currently I have 6mm terrain for my 10mm minis and 15mm for my 15mm minis). Additionally, if TBM introduce 10mm versions, what will the price be then? What are the price differentials between each scale for what is essentially the same building? In any event, whilst this has only made my decision harder (in a good way), bottom line is these releases have caught my attention and are very welcome. I eagerly await further developments.

Difficult to say, but I don't think so. Both produce lovely models. But comparing like with like (Papelotte farm, Mont St Jean Farm, Hougoumont) TTB are all cheaper, in the latter case half the price. But then they are modelled on a rather different concept, and have a substantially reduced footprint, so you get less resin. I hope there is a market for both makers, because they both offer tremendous value for money (I think so, anyway! :D)

Agree completely. Happy to pay more for quality ;)
