I read the title as theme parks, and thought Leon had a crazy new idea

Pretty much what Nik said,
if you had divers you could have an undersea version lair of the fish people,
Sci fi version using marines and alien types it doesnt matter that it is stone, set on a distant workd  :D
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

Wasnt there a 30's film series based on Atalntis?...that would be quite fun, they reminded me as Greeks or Trojans
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!

All what Nick said plus...

The Thieves Guild
Nadsokor - City of Beggars
Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Basically what Nick said, a variation could be a Necromancers Tower with undead, monsters and the creepy guy himself. And can you really do without a Dragon's Lair? In all cases I think that a theme pack should include appropriate scenery and accessories, as well as a good number of monsters.

A Hero pack could also be nice: various individual figures, maybe some side-kicks, pack animals, other bits. I'd pick that up straight away.
Water is indeed the essential ingredient of life, because without water you can't make coffee!

Good call - definitely could do with a couple variants of these  :)

Everything Nik said (excellent suggestions), and I like  capthugeca`s Thieves Guild idea very much indeed.

As for Pack animals, I already have some of these (I don`t remember what the order numbers are) which are now painted, based and varnished and waiting to go in future batreps.

Individuals, Civvies, side kicks, at the moment, I pick and chose minis as I come across them in various Pendraken packs.... a pack focused on just these would be amazing.

I've had a couple of ideas.

Firstly, packs based on suitable figures from the non-fantasy ranges, especially those from fire-arm eras.  I'm currently playing Conan-inspired Swords and Sorcery Savage Worlds, so the following have sprung to mind:
Picts of the Savage Wilderness: non fire-armed Woods Indians from the French Indian Wars (plus possibly Plains Indians).
"Zingaran" Pirates: Conquistador types with morions.
Warriors of the Black Nations: appropriate types from the Zulu Wars (and possibly the Sudan/Egypt range).
Stygia: I didn't see any ancient Egyptian range, but Ancient Carthage, Dark Age Arabs and possibly the Sudan/Egypt range and Ottoman Turks (and the snakes mummies of course ;) ).

Secondly, themed rooms/lairs including appropriate dungeon furnishings was well as the "monsters", eg:
Wizard's Laboratory: book cases, tables & chairs, tome on pedestal, fireplace, etc
Necromancer's Crypt: stone altar, coffins, crates of skulls, ...
(Goblin) Barracks: tables, chairs, beds, crates of apples, ...
Traders' Camp: fire, pack animals, tents, carts, goods, ...

The other thing I'd like to see would be a box (say the size of the booster pack) of corridors elements (with doors, floor furnishings and clean-up crew monsters).
(I know, even though it's fantasy  :o  ;)  )

Some good ideas here, I'll have a play about and see what I can come up with.

Just remembered - seeing the Sudan Mahdi cavalry here: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1733.0;topicseen - there's also a lot of desert nomad and Asiatic mountain men in Conan!

How about a "Prisoner of Zenda" type pack - late 19tth century , sabres and revolvers.
