Congratulations, do you have any idea how big the movement got? Weren't the artist supply companies getting involved as well as the wargamers?

Well, there's a thing! I must confess I was convinced you had as much chance of getting the monolithic PO to change its mind as you had of shifting an iceberg with an outboard motor. Just goes to show what perseverance can do. Congratulations!  :) :) :) 

I was starting to think that as well, as time went on and the email discussions were always 'We'll be reviewing it in a couple of month's time...', I was getting less optimistic of a positive result.  I'm still quite surprised they've done it to be honest, for all of the flak they receive most of them time, they have to be given credit for listening to the customers and making a change.

Most of wargaming and quite a chunk of the railway and modelling crowds as well.  We got a few artists signing up but I don't know of any major coverages in their magazines/forums/social networks.  I did post it on the Facebook pages of loads of different 'painty' type groups, so I hope it got picked up by someone.

Great result on this Leon.

I'm glad that you preserved - and were able to convince a large organisation to change, something that is pretty hard to do.

Well done!

I didnt know Leon made Jam as well
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!

Absolutely - they cook it on top of the casting machines.

Some people dislike the grey skim across the top - but it kills the bacteria.
