I am looking for pictures of the individual packs for the Boer War range.

I have found and old thread where Leon writes that they are currently being painted - which was 2 years ago, but besides an excellent army picture for a competition, I have not seen any of the minis.

Can anyone help?

I cannot on that range, but I am sure someone will be along shortly to help.
In the meantime, hello, welcome, pull up a couch, make yourself comfortable and wait for the wave of insanity to arrive!

We did have someone painting them up for us but unfortunately it didn't pan out so we only got a few codes worth done.  There's a variety of photos on here and elsewhere, including those from the painting competition.  Is there any codes in particular you were looking for?

Welcome :-h

I used a few of the Boer War codes in my 1917 project. As Leon said if you let us know what codes you are interested in I'm sure someone will have some pictures

Never done 10mm before, sø I really dont know what to expect.
I would ideally like a photo of each pack, but if that is not possible.then of the infantry and cavalry packs.

Can't help you with your request, Kaspar. (Sorry) :(
But a very warm welcome to the forum.

Just checked this out Kaspar,. Could only find one photo in Late C19th/ Colonial photos on page 9 - mounted infantry. It does give a very good impression of the quality of this range.

If i'm not mistaken, there was a demo game at crisis a few years ago that had pendraken boers. Will see if i Can find the pics later when i'm on pc, kind of hard to find on phone.

Seems that the army from the crisis game was actually the army from the painting comp  ;D

Those are probably the best photos we've got of that range, there's one or two more available through Google as well.  We can always send you some samples out if that would be better?  Just drop us an email through the Pendraken site: http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Contact.aspx

I don't know about Kaspar, but that certainly roused my interest. Superb photos.

It is a great looking army no doubt about it.

I am pretty sure that I will place an order in the new year, but since I don't really know what comes in each pack, I am having difficulty selecting which packs to get.

An infantry pack contains 30 figures with about 3 command figures, officers and the like, the remaining figures are a reasonably even mix of the various poses. A cavalry pack is 15 mounted figures with 2-3 command figures. Artillery is 3 guns with about 4 crew per gun.

These pictures give you an indication of the various poses in some of the packs

If you have any specific questions about particular packs I'm sure someone can answer them.

Also if you ask the nice Mr Leon politely they will tailor packs to your requirements, for example I got some Afghan tribesmen and asked for rifle armed only

gentlemen,

My apologies for overlooking this interesting thread for so long! Apparently I could have been of help since the army so often mentioned and praised (thanks!) is mine.
If I can still be of help just let me know!

My interest has been piqued with the appearance of a number of BBB scenarios, in a similar way to the RJW. Also, both wars are catered for in Square Bashing, which provides a good three hour session with some focus from the pre-game activity.

I believe I have most of the British packs but not many of the Boers (friend of mine did these) but I'll see what I can post here!
