Nice reviews and excellent pictures, Oh, and now following your blog :)
Cheers
Great reviews
Nice one!
All the shinies look good.
Good grief, I have a tonne of stuff to do for my other projects and now this comes out!! Excellent reviews and the figures look lovely, all its done though is make more work for me and more awkward conversations with the missus!1 :'(
Yep - top-notch review & pics - thanks, Luddite 8)
thanks for the review
pleased my dwarves and goblins will fit in with these updated ones :)
Luddite - Thanks for the reviews. I am really looking forward to getting hold of those Fire Elementals and painting them - and I do not think of myself ever having been into 'Fantasy', or should that now be 'I never used to be into fantasy! ;)
Great review, definitely be getting a few army packs when they are available
Regards
Jim
I am going to make an order for getting warband rules and some bases ( I ran out my bases, oh lord)..
Should I wait to March because will be fantasy new items, or the revamp will came later and then I could go for the rules now?
Any idea of what will have the revamp besides hill dwarves and goblins?
thanks in advance

The new Fantasy will be coming within the next 7 days, so you will be able to buy those very soon. The rules will be available through the main website by then as well.
We'll be making new figures for all of the army lists currently in the rules, so there will be 12 revamped ranges to come. The first two will be the Hill Dwarves and the Goblins, and then we're hoping to release another new army every month.

Love it; looking forward to seeing the new Dark Elves ;)
In the rulebook the Goblins and Orcs are grouped together as one army and since you have just revamped the Goblin figures will you be revamping the Orcs as well?
Also will the Orcs still be available seperately as an Army Pack?
Also will all the other non-Warband listed Pendraken Fantasy ranges still be available?
(By the way love the Goblins and Hill Dwarves.)

The old Orcs will still be available for the time being, but they won't get a revamp for the new rules. The other armies in the lists will be revamped versions of the current ranges.
As we get the ranges revamped, we'll start removing some of the older ranges from circulation. Things like the old Hill Dwarves and Goblins will go quite quickly, as the new ranges contain the same figures, but with a lot more variety and detail. Some of the ranges not included in the new rules, like the Gnomes or the Hobgoblins, will be taken out of the catalogue completely, whereas ones like the Amazons, Halflings, Ratmen or Orcs will probably get brand new sculpts done instead.

Noooo! Not the Gnomes :o
The Gnomes are cool :D
They'd be even cooler with some missile weapon sculpts ;) 8->

Ooh..nice. I'm glad the ratmen will make the cut. They're a lovely little range which i've had my eye on for a while. And if the halflings get some love too that's great. :-bd
Hope the league of Ratsburg are staying.
I admit that I would love to see is some
not steam tanks and some other bits and pieces that look a bit like stuff that was done for Warmaster
and some Dwarf Great Cannons and undead Mammoths and Goblin War Giants like Grenadier produced many years ago

Agree with that ;)

Me too!! :-bd
I would love to see some new Amazon sculpts, especially clothed, slightly less buxom ones. A Scythian looking horde of Amazon horse archers would be good!

Agree with that; they're just a bit too..."silly" for me.

Nice idea.
Mix it up with some 'Bactrian' style as well to add in camels, mammoths, some 'Mongolian Worm' type monsters and they'd slot in alongside the current Barbarian warband.
According to Herodotus when the Amazons fought the Scythians the Scythians at first thought they were fighting young men and it was only after examining the corpses after a battle that they realised the enemy (the Amazons) were actually women. The Amazons dressed like men generally, so apart from the chests being slightly more buxom there would really not be much difference from normal 'male' warriors of the period.

Also, people were MUCH thinner and, consequently women considerably less buxom. I'm sure armour would flatten things too!
However, this is a fantasy army so...meh
