QuoteGood stuff!
What are the Balori?

Irish legend beasties.

Good to see so many of the top 10 requests in there! How long has War of 1812 been at the top of that list now?

A long time but it's always been put behind the core Naps expansions that we needed to do.  We have explored some digital sculpts for it though, which might be something we follow up on later this year.

Quote from: Leon on 18 January 2026, 11:47:57 AMThese are sets of historical 'rivals' so we had Caesar vs Vercingetorix, Richard I vs Saladin, Billy the Kid vs Pat Garrett, that kind of thing.  I think we had 8 pairs done with a load more planned, but they just got sidelined as we needed to focus on our main 10mm releases.

Ah!  The rivalry of Lil the Apple Picker and Double Top Debbie was legendary in some quarters. Lil lead the "Flighty Girls" darts team, which did really well. She got her nickname for calling the green bull "The apple" her speciality was finishing with a bull. She was a legend at the Stoat and Muffin when I was younger, until Debbie arrived with the "Shaft Sisters". Her speciality was double 20.

The rivalry grew until the fateful night when Debbie dared to announce she was calling the apple. Well, Lil was not best pleased that her pet phrase was being usurped, and when Debbie went to the loo, Lil followed her. There was some screaming and some thumping, but they came out of the ladies with matters apparently settled amicably.

Last I heard they had moved away and set up a craft shop together in Stevenage.

Or was it Swansea?   

QuoteI am promised that they will be more:

That'll do for me but being 10mm I'm also ok with a slightly more fantastical look so they're noticeably different to standard Greeks.

Amazons - Full new range, sculpting in progress

I hope we have  camel riders like in  the original set

Excellent news... but I already struggle with making decisions... this year could be worse!

Not camels unfortunately but we could look at adding those later.

Looking at the many 28mm 3D offerings available these days it would seem the wisdom of the crowds is that Amazon cavalry not mounted on horses ride great cats rather than camels. Lionesses and outsized panthers mainly. And the odd dinosaur raptor.

My suggestion  would be  Bactrian Camels

Apropos  to nothing. My Sulphur Road  AI moderated RPG features Goths riding Yaks- of course they mainly communicate though quoting  Sisters of Mercy or Fields of the Nephilim lyrics

Omg, that is disgraceful; she'll catch her death!
Can someone get her some shoes and trousers!

Maus/Ratte - Historical-ish!  We'll be producing these two concept tanks in resin as part of a post-WWII What-If project we're planning.  There's also a metal KV-5 knocking about somewhere


Does that mean we might get a T44 model? Its a perfect tank for immediate post war what if Soviets

Were aroun 800 of those so good idea

Possibly circa 1800 but  the Soviets were very secretive about is so who definitively knows?

I just think its a really  good looking tank.

No idea at the moment, we've got the other stuff already moulded so we'll get those into production first and then we can see what else is needed.  There's also the T28 for the Americans, and the Black Prince for the Brits.

Going back a few posts. I seem to remember (so don't take this as gospel).....the TB Mongols had some bactrian camels.
Shame...they'll be a tad on the small side for the fantasy ranges.

The Pendraken Mongol range had Bactrian camels 🐫 for their musicians. You did sculpt then,after all.

May as well do the Covenanter as well then. Almost 1800 built, never saw action. Good for a what-if German invasion in 1941.

I only repaired them, Will.

Wish I HAD made them..they're rather splendid.
