I am much better known on the retro/Oldhammer scene through my blog http://realmofchaos80s.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1/ than on historical miniature gaming forums. But I have a secret historical passion for the ECW and Biblical periods. I have tried so hard to get organised in 28mm but due to a lack of time and space it never comes to fruition. Someone suggested trying out 10mm so here I am.

EDIT: Link fixed.

A real blast from the past on that blog there!

QuoteSix: Phil Lewis at work photographing miniatures. Phil was a vital part of GW at this time and we would love to interview him, so if anyone knows his whereabouts today please contact me.

This might help, then.  :D

Welcome to the forum....Is Phil wearing flares in that photo?

Picture 11...Cosmic Encounter...I still have that somewhere
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Techno, someone's looking for you!   :D

Remember kids, Phil worked at a time when you couldn't see the photograph until it was developed. I'd imagine that snapping hundreds of models all day must have been hard work indeed.

Do we need to start a 'Save our Techno campaign'?

Early as possible really, though perhaps biblical isn't quite the right term. Mesopotamia, Canaanites... anything ancient near east or africa really. Like I said, i have been trying to build armies for years with 28s but just cannot find the time with the 'day hobby' with old school fantasy. Hence a move into 10s. I am also partial to Dark Age England and the events surrounding the Battle of Brunanburh. Great interview with Phil the Techno by the way. I'll be borrowing some of those details for the old school guys.

Hi Orlygg,

welcome to the madhouse :-)

Been looking to get into 10mm Sumerians myself. Not something Pendraken do but a couple of nice ranges out there in 10mm.

Seem to remember the realmofchaos blog from when I was looking at doing an armylist for Warmaster Ogre Kingdoms, though I may be misrembering. My memory isn't what it once was  :(
