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 :'(

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!   ;)

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  ;)
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

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
(I know, even though it's fantasy  :o  ;)  )

O Dinas Powys

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
