Pendraken's 2020 Releases!

[Leon Pendraken]

Another year and time for another thread for all of the latest Pendraken Miniatures 10mm releases, as well as any other items we release on our Minibits side of things.

Last year we made some decent progress in a few areas so there's a review of 2019 on our Forum here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.p ... 333.0.html We also managed to release 191 new products, all of which can be seen here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.p ... 332.0.html

And finally we've got a lot planned for this year, so head over and see if anything might be of interest to you here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.p ... 351.0.html

And so, onto the first releases of 2020!

The revamp of our older Ancients ranges continues and this time we've got the eagerly anticipated Greeks and Persians! As well as updating all of the sculpts, we've also spent a lot of time expanding these ranges to add extra infantry and cavalry types, especially for the Persians. This gives many more options and also ticks off a few items on our request lists at the same time!

As with the recent Dacians and Sarmatians we'd like to give huge thanks to Will Denham for helping us (and the sculptor!) with these ranges.

Don't forget that our price increase comes in at midnight on Saturday night, so if you fancy any of these, grab them before the prices go up! We'll also have them with us at the York show on Sunday.

It's been a while since we had any new Red Vectors MDF products but we've got a few in the pipeline this month, starting with these handy Monorails to add some details to your Sci-Fi tables!

These are originally designed for 6mm models but there's no reason why they can't work for 10mm games as well. The pack contains 5 monorails (3 straights, 2 curves) and each piece measures 190mm in length, 50mm height and 14mm width. The rail itself is 5mm wide.


Red Vectors
6mm Sci-Fi - http://www.minibits.net/red-vectors/6mm/sci-fi/
RED-6S-03 Monorails x 5 £8.00

[Leon Pendraken]

Slight amendment to this one! The pack actually contains 10 monorails (6 straights, 4 curves), so that's nearly 2 metres of monorail for the bargain price of £9!

[Leon Pendraken]

A quick release now for the Modern gamers with the BTR-40 available! This one was produced from 1950 through to 1960 before being replaced by the BTR-152, although it remained in service across the world until the 1980's. Other operators included East Germany and Poland, as well as a licensed Chinese version under the name Type 55 where it saw action in Korea and Vietnam.


Modern Vehicles - https://pendraken.co.uk/modern/vehicles/
MDV73 BTR-40 £2.95

[Leon Pendraken]

With the lockdown easing off now, we've got a huge backlog of new products all waiting to be unleashed! So to get them all out to you asap, we'll be releasing a batch every day for the next 10 days. We'll have a variety of Pendraken 10mm items, Minibits products, as well as new third-party ranges available, so let the unleashing begin!

Day 1 of 10 Days of Shiny!

First up we've got a nice easy one with a selection of handy items added to our tools selection. Some of you may have spotted these hiding on our websites last week, but we can announce them properly for you now.
- The decal picker is a really useful gadget and is a lot easier than trying to peel them off your fingertip!
- We wouldn't recommend the mould line remover for use on 10mm figures but it's great for plastic kits, resin models and the edges of MDF bases as well.
- The tweezer set is a great one to have on your modelling desk and saves all the hassle and frustration of heads, guns and turrets being superglued to your fingers!
- And finally the dropper bottles allow you to mix and store your own paint colours in bigger batches. We've been using these in Pendraken HQ and it's a lot easier than trying to mix the right ratios on your palette time after time.


Tools - https://pendraken.co.uk/tools-putties-glues/tools/ and http://www.minibits.net/tools-putties-glues/
TOOL-TL7 Decal Picker £8.95
TOOL-TL8 Mould Line remover £6.95
TOOL-TL9 Tweezers set (x5) £14.95
TOOL-TL10 Dropper bottles (x4) £3.95











Tomorrow is Day 2 of 10 and we'll have some nice 10mm additions for the WWII crowd...

[Leon Pendraken]

It's Day 2 of our '10 Days of Shiny!'

Today we switch to 10mm and WWII in particular, with a set of drivers and passengers released for our American, British, French, German and Soviet ranges! These are all seated figures which will fit into any of our jeeps, halftracks and trucks, or placed on a bench/ammo box to add something to a command base or diorama. The drivers have their arms in their laps so they can be put in either the driver or passenger seats of transports. The passengers come with helmets and rifles and the pairs could also be cut in half if you wanted individuals instead.

These new codes can be found in the Misc section of their respective nations (except for the French which are a single set of codes currently).

[Leon Pendraken]

We're reaching the halfway point of our '10 Days of Shiny' and for Day 5 we've got some 28mm transport from RedVectors!

This lot are perfect for the Wild West and ACW, as well as the later 19th Century in general, especially the wagons. The wagons come in both 2-wheel and 4-wheel varieties and then we've also got a stagecoach and prison wagon as well. Finally, we've added some walking horses to pull them. These are all around the £5-£6 mark and the horses come in pairs for £4.

Day 6 will be some Pendraken goodies for the WWII crowd...

[Leon Pendraken]

We're into Day 6 of the '10 Days of Shiny!'

We're back to Pendraken and some 10mm goodies today with some revamped and expanded Opel Blitz trucks! We've replaced our original truck, AA and Maultier models as well as adding radio trucks, ambulance and a command version of the Maultier for good measure. The revamp process is a long-term commitment to upgrading our models and keeping them up to modern standards, so it's good to get these ticked off. Next on the revamp schedule will be the Pz IIIs which should be ready towards the end of the year.

For anyone wanting any of the old models to finish off existing projects, we'll still be able to supply them for a short period of time.

WWII

Day 7 will be a rather large Minibits release, so watch out 6mm WWII gamers...

[Leon Pendraken]

We've hit Day 7 of the '10 Days of Shiny' and we've got a big one from Minibits today!

We are extremely pleased to announce that we are now stocking the full 1:285th Raiden Miniatures aircraft ranges, now owned by I-94 Enterprises in the States. These extensive ranges cover both WWII and Post War with almost 180 aircraft available in this initial release. Whilst obviously aimed at the 6mm gamers out there, these may also interest some of our 10mm players as well, giving some options for those Off-Table Support units in Blitzkrieg Commander and Cold War Commander. 15mm Flames of War uses 10mm aircraft so no reason why 10mm BKC can't use 6mm aircraft!

We don't currently stock any flight stands for these but we'll be sourcing some asap and adding them to the site. I-94 were also waiting on a restock of some codes so we'll be adding those as well over the coming months.

We won't list out the full 178 products, but here's a quick overview of what's available:

WWII - http://www.minibits.net/raiden-aircraft/wwii/
- American
- Dutch
- British
- French
- German
- Italian
- Japanese
- Russian

Post War - http://www.minibits.net/raiden-aircraft/post-war/

- Canadian
- French
- Russian
- Swedish

Day 8 will see a few scenery items for Pendraken, to complement a recent range release...

[Leon Pendraken]

The days are flying by and we're already on Day 8 of the '10 Days of Shiny!'

Today we move over to some new scenery releases with the first batch of Feudal Japanese buildings now available! These are the Castle Arts range (which we purchased at the start of 2019) so we're excited to get them back into production. John at Ironclad has been doing some tweaks and new moulds for us, so these are all new crisp castings and look great. We've added pictures of the bare resin as well as the painted images supplied to us by Castle Arts. Ignore the chap in the painted images, he's a Castle Arts figure and not from our new ranges!

The next batch of these should be some of the walls and fences, which we're hoping to have ready sometime in August.

- Wall (for Vallejo or Army Painter dropper bottles)

The first two are simple desk top racks while the third can be mounted on the wall to free up that valuable hobby space!

[Leon Pendraken]

It's our final day of the '10 Days of Shiny!'

For the last release in this run we've got a little expansion of our Elizabethan range. Some of you might recognise these figures from Dave's own project last year, so we've done a deal and brought them into our range instead. We've got extra poses of arquebusiers, musketeers and pikemen, as well as mounted arquebusiers, command and the oft-requested jinetes!

Libertad! is a supplement for the popular Blitzkrieg Commander IV wargames rules, focussing on the Spanish Civil War from 1936-1939.

Written by Mark Fry and Rob Anderson, Libertad! contains 23 new army lists for the various factions present in this conflict, plus 5 historical scenarios complete with maps by Henry Hyde, as well as new rules for Line Commanders, Street Barricades, Molotov Cocktails and more.

This supplement is initially available as a pdf through Wargame Vault here: https://www.wargamevault.com/product/326490/Libertad

Hard copies will be available shortly, more info to come on that soon.

[Leon Pendraken]

It's been a while since we've had any new goodies for you so hopefully this long-awaited batch will cheer some of you up! These French Guard cavalry types were sculpted many moons ago and got themselves firmly wedged in a mysterious crevice where we couldn't find them... :-[ But with the shows all cancelled for the foreseeable we thought it was about time we caught up on some of those 'back burner' projects and get them released.

And here they are! We've got the Guard Chasseurs a Cheval and Grenadiers a Cheval, plus Empress Dragoons and Red Lancers for good measure. We've got some Guard infantry and artillery crews also in the pipeline but it'll be a little longer before we can get those ducks in a row.

[Leon Pendraken]

We've got another little release today with a few extra poses of 1860/70 Prussian infantry in greatcoat. These were done as customer conversions on our existing PPW7 and PPW30 packs to simply add greatcoats, and will provide some handy extra options for your winter armies.
