Chaps,

Has anyone out there ever tried these figures?

I'm looking to add a little variation to some Eastern European/Ottoman Turk Renaissance armies and these look like rather good figures.

Thanks,

CS

Leon mentioned this a while back. No one seem to know if the company is still up and running ( although the website is). A few people in Italy have been asked and no one seems to have seen the owner in a while on the show circuit. I would be wary about ordering from them until some definite information is known
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!

Thanks, chaps. A shame, as they look to be very nice figures.

I did email them a couple of years ago and after about 6 weeks I got an answer from someone there ( female maybe wife/partner/girlfriend) who wasnt quite sure what was happening

Unfortunately as the others have said, no one knows what's going on with TB at the moment.  They make some great figures, and Fabio was always a nice guy to chat with, so I hope there's some good news from them in the near future.

My problem wasn't communication. For months, I kept asking where my order was, they kept telling me it would be sent 'next week'... Finally, they sent me a refund.

And then sent the minis...  :-\

They are lovely, especially the massive, beautifully detailed Carthaginian Effalumps. Probably oversised for the real thing, almost twice as big as Pendraken's. Problem with all their minis is the number of teeny bits - separate shields, etc.

good evening everyone

fabio of TBline, is a friend and someone very well, but I know he went through a very difficult time, and he had to put to sleep TBline....... much regret !! !!!
but I'm pretty positive for the future ...... as long as everything is in order for him
I take this opportunity to advise you to try its ancient medieval rule "Anticamente" ..... probably the best rules that I have played so far...... in free loading and in English !!!! ....... and with superb figures Pendrakens, it will be just as beautiful !!!

Hope he's okay.
