These are heading across to the USA shortly, if you are going to "Cold Wars" in early February, pop by and see Leon and Adele at the Pendraken stand and they should be there.

Some really top-shelf work here Dave - as per usual! I'm sure folks who are able to pop over to "Cold Wars" will enjoy them even more in person. And I must second your recommendation for Pendraken - they are wonderful, and they make great miniatures! Have to say your results on the Plains War stuff in particular are really excellent.
You got to cast them too? Wow! What must that have been like? I would be a touch nervous about the whole process myself (I'm already a disaster building models, and I feel letting be anywhere near them being cast would be an undue public safety risk) but that must be an extra cool thing - as you say, from ingot to the table!
Finally, a quick question - was there any reason for the round bases? Are they intended for a particular game? Or was this the just the ideal way to have vignettes? It sure looks great!
As for points, you undercounted yourself a chunk - these are 10mm, and cav/guns are 3points a pip, so you come up with 124 points.

I will always love well painted Pendraken miniatures. They look great!
ReplyDeleteCheers
DeleteGreat stuff
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you
DeleteWow, they look fantastic! How big are the bases?
ReplyDeleteMostly 40mm rounds , but the bigger ones are 70 , or 80mm ovals l cheers .
Delete@greg - casting is an interesting thing . The moulds are like women , as soon as you get used the them they charge the rules 😂 . Temperature in the workshop , metal fluidity etc, speed of casting machine , speed of pouring the metal . But it beats working for a living - it’s a wargames crack den .The bases were just a vignette creation to show them off , and I went for what looked nice .
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Dave - your results are fantastic.
DeleteThanks - was nice to spend some full creative time on them
DeleteThose are awesome Dave. I too am a fan of Pendraken. That's cool that you got to cast them too. I'm pretty sure my missus wouldn't let me near molten metal.
ReplyDeleteLovely little vignettes Dave. I love that your basing was by the Rule Of Cool.
