New League of Augsburg available for pre-order!

[Leon]

With the amount of interest and demand for the upcoming League of Ausgburg releases, in a first for Pendraken we've decided to put them up for pre-order!  As well as allowing you to get your hands on them as soon as they become available, this will also mean that you can buy them at current prices, before our impending price increase takes effect.  

Timescales on receiving the figures shouldn't be too long either.  If we receive the sculpts here in the next fortnight we'll get them master moulded straightaway and into production moulds, so the estimated date for shipping will be before the end of February.  That's certainly not too long to wait for these fantastic sculpts!

League of Augsburg - http://www.pendraken.co.uk/Renaissance-c12/League-of-Augsburg-sc258/
LOA33   French Dragoons (15 figures, inc. command)     £4.50
LOA34   Allied Dragoons (15 figures, inc. command)     £4.50
LOA35   Dismounted Command group (3 figures + 1 horse)     £0.90
LOA36   Mounted Command, standing (7 figures)     £2.40
LOA37   Mounted Command, moving (7 figures)     £2.40

PLEASE NOTE - These are pre-order items, and will not ship immediately.  We estimate shipping to be before the end of February (2016!)

Also, if there's anything else you would like to order at the same time, we will hold those items until everything is ready.  If you would like us to send your order in two separate packages instead, please let us know.



And the pics!

Price increase is Feb 1st, so you've got just under a fortnight yet.  No IOU's unfortunately, although Dave is partial to magic beans...

Very, very nice...but I am waiting for rebel musketeers, command and cavalry for my 1685 project.

I was getting all excited too.

I don't think those have been discussed previously, so they're probably not on the list to appear any time soon unfortunately?  Once this lot have arrived here, we'll be having a chat to see what will be next on Clib's schedule.

Thought they had been discussed early on, I know the arrival of the scythmen (LOA16) led me to believe more of Monmouth's men would appear sometime. Of course it could be done with repaints of existing figures but a more motley bunch with woolen hats, civilian coats and/or shirtsleeves would help- especially for the rebel command and shot. The cavalry just eed some chaps who are equipped correctly but perhaps look a little unsure on their horses.

[Sandinista]

You don't want to believe James II's anti militia propaganda, they were well trained and reasonably well equipped. James denigrated the militia as he wanted to get rid of it and replace with more regiments in the Royal army, an action that he regretted in 1688 as he tried to call on militia that had not been funded or trained for the previous 3 years.

Chris Scott the author of the new book on the 1685 militia previously did a PhD thesis on the subject downloadable here https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/7303

The book is The Militia of the Monmouth Rebellion by Chris Scott, Partizan Historical No:19 £17.50 from Caliver Books

Fantastic as always Clib, will have to move the period up from the basement on to the painting table. Will order a bunch of these will also have to add more cavalry from the range also.

Any one using Captain General for this period?
