Greetings all  :)

I'm Jaymis and a new member on the Pendraken Forum.

I've been tabletop gaming (war-games and board-games) for about 15 years now and it's the one hobby I've retained and continually enjoyed. When I started out the big thing was Warhammer (4th/5th) & 40K (3rd) which I still enjoy but sadly with how things at GW have turned out I've cut my losses. Warband was one of the first (along with Kings of War and Mighty Armies) non-GW Fantasy games I've looked into and am loving it  :D Looking at joining up if there is a Tournament at PAW 2017. Within the past year or so I've also started getting into the Historical and Napoleonic side of the hobby with Field of Glory, Mighty Armies: Ancients and Black Powder all in 10/15mm. Would be interested to know if Pendraken are planning there own Historical Rules set at any point as Warband is superb and would love to see what you guys can do in a Historical setting. Looking forward to being more involved in the discussions on the forum and having some lively conversions.

Thanks. Jaymis.

A very warm welcome, Jaymis....

You'll get a lot of really good conversations here....As well as some that end up being completely and utterly mad !  ;)

Cheers - Phil

We're currently working on the Blitzkrieg/Cold War/Future War Commander's which cover everything from WWII onwards.  There'll also be a Ancient/Medieval version of Warband at some point as well hopefully, but not sure on timescales for that one.  We've also got some other areas we'd like to expand into over the coming years.

Hi Jaymis, welcome to the madhouse forum :)

Home to as friendly, knowledgeable and helpful a bunch of lunatics as you will find on the interwebs!

"Lively" conversations are pretty much a given. You will get used to the derailments of topics, the in-jokes and running gags, and the in-depth discussions of things you never realised you were interested in pretty quickly - if my experience is anything to go by.

As one forum member said to me when I introduced myself to the group - come on in, draw up a mushroom and take a seat :)
