It's been a long time since we've updated our Top 10 requests so we're definitely due a new list!

Top 10 Ranges:
1.  War of 1812
2.  Naps in India
3.  War of the Triple Alliance - NEW ENTRY!
4.  Boxer Rebellion
5.  Italian Wars
6.  Modern Insurgents (Afghan/African)
7.  Modern Infantry (UK)
8.  Medieval Expansion
9.  Mexican-American War - NEW ENTRY!
10. 2nd Anglo-Sikh War


There's a few changes here as we've ticked off the Yom Kippur and Modern US ranges, and we've just started the Napoleonic Russians too, so both of those have been removed.  The top 1 and 2 have swapped places from last time, showing the constant interest in the Napoleonic era.  We'd really like to get the War of 1812 range done soon, we just need to work up some sculpting lists and squeeze them into the schedule.

The War of the Triple Alliance has crashed straight into the top 10 at number 3, while the Boxer Rebellion jumps four places into 4th, followed by the Italian Wars in 5th.

Down the bottom, we've got another couple of new entries with the Mexican-American War and 2nd Anglo-Sikh War both creeping in. 

There's a lot of common themes across these so once we've got some sculpting space it might be worth approaching some of them in a batch.


Top 10 Items:
1.  1920's/1930's Gangsters
2.  WWII Italian Bersaglieri - NEW ENTRY!
3.  AWI Wagons/Carts
4.  Huey Conversions
5.  ACW Locomotive - NEW ENTRY!
6.  Colonial Gardner guns with naval/regular crew
7.  Colonial  Beja warriors foot/mtd - NEW ENTRY!
8.  Armoured Mongols
9.  Japanese Oni - NEW ENTRY!
10. WWII Japanese 37mm Anti-tank gun - NEW ENTRY!


We've got some nice ticks on this one with the WWII Italian artillery and Russia 37mm AA sculpted and due to hit the website in the next couple of months.  We've also released Fantasy Bears and Elizabethan jinetes since the last list, so that's numbers 1, 2, 4 and 7 done!

Replacing them are the WWII Italian Bersaglieri, which have soared up the lists, along with the ACW Locomotive at number 5.  Further down, the Colonial Beja warriors have managed to get back into the Top 10 and then we've got a very different pair of Japanese requests, one for demons and one for an anti-tank gun.


As always, keep the requests coming in and you can check the previous Top 10 Request here: https://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,19335.0.html

Interesting! 

Some interesting (to me)stuff in the Top 10 Items list. 

How do AWI wagons vary from the various wagon ranges that already exist?

Quote from: fred. on 26 February 2025, 07:08:04 AMHow do AWI wagons vary from the various wagon ranges that already exist?

With any AWI requests you can always look at the Perry range to see what people are asking for!  I think this request started out as purely limbers for the AWI ranges, but then it expanded to include carts and wagons, so I'd assume smaller ammo carts, tumbrels, larger ammo wagons, etc.

"1.  War of 1812
2.  Naps in India
3.  War of the Triple Alliance - NEW ENTRY!
4.  Boxer Rebellion"
That's like a bankruptcy alert for the next 5 years   
If my premium bonds come up I'll have to buy a bigger house andcommission those ranges....

Any news on The Armoured Train for WW2

Great to see the Bersaglieri up there!

I'll check with John this weekend, I think it's pretty much done and should be available soon.

What the hell are you going to do with an Armou... nope, it's Orcs; like he needs a reason...

I have  WW2 Poles, Germans and Russians ion 10mm . All of these used Armoured trains. 
The poles had around a dozen, and the tank museaum sells a three volume set of books on Polish armoured trains.  One Polish train was captured by the Germans and used against the Russians, who captured it and used it against its fgormer owners. There were instances or armoured trains firing on each other. 

I have several scenarios that require an Armoured train

Currently I have to use a 6mm one from Irregular miniatures, and while it is said " size doesn't matter" It does nothing for the morale of the army when they see the diminutive size of their supporting armoured train. 

This sounds like nothing more than justification and excuses.
