Talk about getting the vote out !  The Pendraken party machine grinds into action.

The partisan loyalty to Pendraken  expressed by simply taking the trouble to vote, reflects more that just customer satisfaction.   

Its a cumulative expression of gratitude for the work and effort that Leon and Dave put into the hobby.  For the outlay in new ranges, the pandering to our often outrageous requests, and the principles displayed when faced with something like the BKC rules disaster.  And then there is this website. 2000 + members worldwide. A function way beyond a simple sales tool.  A self aware community of wargamers. 

All that goes a way beyond being in the business to make a buck. 

In this age of exploitation, profit driven decision making and hard commercial attitudes,  it is refreshing to meet and do business  with  two canny lads from Teeside.   Keep er lit Pendraken.

Now - have you voted yet ?  :)

Sunray,

You hit the nail right on the head! Could not have said it any better. Yep, I too have voted although I doubt they will be aware of my best convention - Nashcon, since that is local and the only one I ever attend!

I'll post this expressing my THANKS to Leon and crew!

Well done all!  Well said Sunray! When I posted  this, I just wanted members to be aware that the awards existed, and that there was an opportunity to express how they felt about Pendraken. I think it is a shame that awards like this are not more widely publicised, and so the same people and firms win year on year. We have seen the future!
2021 Painting Competition - Winner!

Just refreshing this thread.  If you appreciate Pendraken a simple click will register your vote.  :)

The Wargames Illustrated Awards 2018 have been announced and we came 2nd for customer service!  Thanks to everyone who voted for us, we really appreciate your support.  For a little (ish!) company working away in the 10mm corner of this hobby, to have achieved 2nd against some of the biggest names in the industry is a massive achievement and something we're extremely proud of.
