Well, their dream was granted. Even the old sculpts had two variants, firing and advancing. If you add the figures in peaked caps in the more modern sculpts in the German/Prussian line then there are two more, marching and on guard.    LUXURY,  :D

That said, it would be great if the command could be redone with the officer in cap.

Yes, they are quite "special" aren't they?  Can you tell the difference between the helmet for 1866 and the model 1867 for 1870 in 10mm scale?   Not sure I can, and the Saxons for 1870 are very nice.

Been there, done that!   They still look a bit odd, rather stiff as if riding to attention on a fairground roundabout!    The world has moved on a bit since then - I was perfectly happy with them when they arrived.

Can't we choose something that doesn't begin with 'M'?

Duke Speedy of Leighton

I have realised that my vote for minotaurs comes with an ulterior motive or two:
One, it will give me competition in the fantasy section, although Fred and I are not planning to repeat the 2013 'Dragon Off' it would be nice to have a friendly side challenge, but mine won't be minotaurs or wyrms. Maybe a flying snake or three!

I think I'm going to enter 'em anyway along with the poll winner (Mongol peasants as it stands).   :-bd

I voted for Archers, as I think they're fantastic sculpts, liked them as soon as they arrived from Techno.

Agreed :)

They just "look right".

Also, I thought the peasants would make a nice contrast; can't see many folks going for them ;)

I voted for peasants as I thought Grips would have the  experience and knowledge  in giving these a really good paint job
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

This is FSN we're talking here...

Depends upon several factors:

1)  The phase of the moon;
2)  The quantity of pills consumed;
3)  How many turrets he's lost;
4)  How bored he is;
5)  Which part of his multi-dimensional personality is in the driving seat today.

I have a formula where:
M = moon cycle
C = pills consumed
T = turrets
B = boredom
P = personality

Therefor:  Pantomime =  (M+C)3 + T2 x B / P

Oh Yeah!!!

I've just finished painting a 4000 point Empire army for a WM battle on Saturday.  Time to finish off my competition entries.

I'm going for:

Mongolian peasants (different);
Mongolian archers (awesome sculpts);
Minotaurs (one of PD's best fantasy casts IMHO).

Hoorah :) :) :)
