This is really sounding like a 'what did I paint last year' list!
Only need three of those for the full set!

Lots of dragons mentioned there, does that mean new ones are on their way?
What of the Fantasy medieval humans?only asking as they have the dragon rider at the moment!

Fantay humans is where I would be interested in going. Already have a Warmaster dragon which is waiting for some paint, not to mention the Warmaster steam tank. And Ironsuke has posted a very good video on making hang gliders for crossbowmen.

AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I can hear those dreaded sounds now, 'Grandad, can you get us some of them - and paint and base them for us as well.  Pleeeaaaasssseeeee........... '.  Of course being a hard hearted, uncaring, and down right Grumpy Old Man - I start clicking on the 'Add to basket' buttons.    :)

Of course that also means that I had better learn the rules so as to play against the GK's, life can be so hard at times.   ;)

 :-bd Loving the sound of those army lists!

Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

The humans are one of the bigger jobs sculpting wise as we're starting from scratch on those.  The current Humans are simply our Late Medieval historical figures, so they don't match up properly to the slightly larger Fantasy sculpts.  Techno's going to be making completely new figures for those but we wanted to get some of the other ranges done first as they're quicker conversion jobs.

There are some revamped Dragons coming as well, Phil's been doing work on the various ones we had before to give more variety.

Given what I already have on my plate at the moment I'll hang on for those humans. Will take a look at the rules at Vapnartak if they're there, otherwise Triples.

I just got some of the Elizabethans for my human army as I like the look of the period. Though some Tudor and Late Medieval will be mixed in
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!

I'm up to play these rules, any idea if they can be done solo :)

Not having much experience with solo gaming, it's hard to say.

However, given the way that command and unit 'activation' works, I would say that they might do.

It will be interesting to hear the experiences of people who decide to use them for solo gaming.

It's all very well being a new member and all, but playing fast and loose with a patented by-line is a bit much....

Goes off to mumble and dribble in the corner.....

I can't speak for all solo players but generally what kills a game off as soloable for me is if it requires information to be hidden between the sides e.g. secret objective cards.

There aren't any changes planned to the horses unfortunately, I'm quite keen on them myself!  We could maybe do with some differently posed horses in the future, but that's something we'd need to work on separately further down the line.

The riders themselves will be getting the revamp treatment, little changes here and there to give more variety.

Hi Leon, if you ever plan to revamp your mounted figures, would you consider adopting 'separate mount and rider'?

Is that viable in 10mm?

Following the 10mm Bears thread it occured to me that being able to put riders on different beasties might be fun.   ;D

Possibly, but it depends on a few things.  The revamped Goblin riders will be separate to the wolves, but the new Hill Dwarves won't be.  Having them separate takes up a lot more space in the mould, plus it adds an element of time for the customers putting them together.  I think it's best reserved for codes where we've got a good selection of different horses/riders so that people can get maximum variety from being able to pose them themselves.
