Pendraken – More 10mm Napoleonics

We’ve got the final addition to our 10mm Napoleonic French Guard now with some extra artillery codes all ready to go. The Guard foot get the 12pdrs and howitzers while the Guard horse (in campaign dress!) get the 4pdrs and howitzers. This completes most of our plans for the French, I think the only request outstanding now is some later 1815 French infantry so we’ll have a look and see what we can fit in later in the year / early 2022.

This also clears the sculpting drawers and we can focus on the Peninsular project going forward. The Brits should be with us imminently and then the Portuguese and Brunswickers will follow on quite quickly. We’ll keep everyone updated as we get things done and w

Also, this will be our last release before the big move! We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us getting everything ready and moved over to the new place so we’ll stockpile any new stuff for after we get settled in our new home. We also need to get the new website ready to launch so we’ll be pulling all of the current products out of both Pendraken and Minibits sites and getting them prepped for upload into the new site.

We've been making a few new moulds for our WWII ranges and while we were at it we thought we'd add a few little WWII German bits for you, including the 15cm Howitzer and some Jerry cans!

WWII German
Artillery
GRA42 15cm sFH18 Howitzer with regular crew £2.95
GRA43 15cm sFH18 Howitzer with winter crew £2.95
GRA44 15cm sFH18 Howitzer with DAK crew £2.95

Misc
GRX8 AA limber trailer (3) £1.50

We've also lowered many of the prices in the Misc section as well so that it's a bit more tempting to pop a few extras in your Basket!

And the pics!

Pendraken / Minibits Roundup

After what was clearly a rather different 2020, many of our plans didn’t quite work out and you’d think that maybe we’d try and tone it down for 2021… but why would we want to do that?! Full steam ahead with maximum shiny!

We’ll list all of our releases in this one thread, both our 10mm Pendraken items, and our wider wargaming Minibits and third-party stuff. We’re producing new stuff for all periods, scales and genres these days, so make sure to check in and see what we’re up to!

There’s a review of 2020 on our Forum here  and we managed over 200 releases which can be seen here.

And this year we’ve got even more planned so come and have a read through our optimistic plans for 2021 here.

And now on to our first releases of the year!

It’s our first release of 2021 and also a long-awaited one as the Guard have arrived! We’d had these sculpted a few years back but they were lost in the void known as ‘Sculpting Drawer’… But they’re here now and ready for deployment against those pesky Brits!

Two quick notes on these, obviously the Guard were present through until 1815 but we’ve put them in our 1809 French range for the time being, with their earlier descriptions. When we add an 1815 French range in the future they can be moved over to there. Also, the Young and Middle Guard wouldn’t have been issued with Eagles and would have bare poles with fanions instead. As we don’t currently produce those we’ve left the eagles on for the time being and folks can simply snip them off if they’re going to make their own flags.

Napoleonics
French
NPF49 Young Guard Tirailleur Chasseurs/Voltigeurs (30) £5.50
NPF50 Young Guard Tirailleur Grenadiers/Tirailleurs (30) £5.50
NPF51 Middle Guard Fusilier Chasseurs (30) £5.50
NPF52 Middle Guard Fusilier Grenadiers (30) £5.50
NPF53 Young/Middle Guard mounted officers (5) £1.85
NPF54 Old Guard Chasseurs (30) £5.50
NPF55 Old Guard Grenadiers (30) £5.50
NPF56 Old Guard mounted officers (5) £1.85

And some pics!

NPF49 – Young Guard Tirailleur Chasseurs/Voltigeurs

NPF52 – Middle Guard Fusilier Grenadiers

NPF53 – Young/Middle Guard mounted officers

NPF54 – Old Guard Chasseurs

NPF56 – Old Guard mounted officers

We were going to save these for the next batch of Fantasy releases but I know that a lot of people have been asking for them so I thought I’d pop them out as their own release instead!

The original Night Orc sculpts have been tidied up a little and then Techno has added a few extras to give us 3 spearmen and 3 archers, combined with a leader for both packs. These were always a popular little range so it’s nice to have them back online!

Fantasy
Night Orcs
FAN-NRC1 Night Orc Spearmen (25) £5.50
FAN-NRC2 Night Orc Archers (25) £5.50

From 1st January 2021 there will be changes to the ordering process that some of our customers will need to be aware of. Please note that this only affects customers in the EU, there are no changes at all for people outside of the EU.

1. Firstly, EU customers will no longer pay UK VAT (20%) on their orders. This will reduce the price of our standard packs from £5.50 to £4.58 instead.

2. EU customers will now pay the VAT of their own country when the package arrives in their country, similar to how you would currently receive an international package (eg. from the USA or Australia).

3. You may have to pay a handling fee to your own Customs department, but this will vary from country to country. From experience, not all packages are caught by the customs people so some customers might find that the package arrives without any charges at all.

4. All of this may change again on July 1st when the EU’s planned VAT OSS system comes in. At this point we would start charging you the correct VAT for your country as part of your order and you would not have to pay any
internal VAT charges or handling fees before you receive your package.

5. There will be no changes to our shipping rates at this time, we will hold these until we can see what increases are put in place by the various postal services.

If there's any questions then let us know, but please don't start getting into a political rants about this. It's happened now so we'll all just have to wait and see what happens over the coming months. No matter what the people in suits decide in the coming months, we'll still be making little soldiers and posting them out to people all over the world!
