I'm torn between "Well done you!" and "You wuz robbed!"

Ditto! But in a competition dominated by the 28mm faction, it is an amazing result. Well done!

Definitely robbed. Pendraken customer service is second to none.

Well done, Leon! 
In a world of 28s you have your 10s punching well above their weight.

Wot they said

+ 1 to Pendraken -  well deserved.

And thanks to Mollinary for the 'heads up' about the vote.  Your epitaph will be " Mollinary, the emancipator of 10 mm wargamers" 

Leon - respectfully suggest you advertise the 2nd place nomination on both this forum and the shop web site.
Its from us, the    customers giving you the endorsement to use.

And next year....on to Victory.

It's already hit all of our social media accounts but we'll have something on the main website tomorrow as well as putting it in our next newsletter.

Second place. Second? Someone must have slipped the judges a briefcase full of used 50-pounders....

[Steve J]

Well done to all involved at Pendraken for punching above their weight against the 28mm big boys. Still the best customer service IMHO .

Interestingly not a single thing I voted for came first. As for mdf scenery winning best scenic stuff, well that's just laughable when you have the likes of Time Cast and Total Battle Miniatures out there. I really do wonder these days whether I am pursuing the same hobby as most "wargamers."

[petercooman]

well done!

i gladly voted for your excellent service!

I have opened a ticket with warlord games once 3 years ago, still waitig on a reply for a missing part. So you guys are truly number 1!

Funny thing is, if you put a 4 ground building next to a sarissa building, the 4ground building looks way better. However, the 4ground building is double the cost.

I think this is a case of "i vote for what i buy and like". i also buy sarissa buildings, but i find the 4 ground buildings prettier. Just can't justify the extra cost.

example: 28mm la haye sainte

from sarissa:   £  125
from 4ground: £ 285

I bet the same reasoning goes for resin manufacturers, wich often come up more expensive as opposed to mdf manufacturers. Not saying one is superior to the other, just a matter of more affordable = more people to buy them = more people to vote for them.

all my 2 cents of course...

[Womble67]

Congratulations and well deserved

Take care

And Leven, some lovely stuff from them too. None of the ones I voted for came anywhere other than Pendraken's second place. There really is a divide between the 28mm skirmish bollocks and smaller scale big battle wargamers, probably more so than any divide between historical / scifi and fantasy ones. But then we've sort of discussed that elsewhere within the last couple of days.

Congratulations to all at Pendraken Towers !! 

Cheers - Phil

I think you make an excellent point Peter, but weren't the categories BEST OF and not CHEAPEST.
