Um ...  Leon. Isn't that a Chieftan? I'm just asking because, well I don't know how to put this, it's not, you see, the same as a Centurion, and if, come October the 1st, the Centurion that we (the plates in the Pendraken track) have all  been waiting for, turns out to be a little bit Chieftan shaped, then there may be some people who will be a little bit disappointed.

Just thought I'd point it out.


Also somewhat in excess of 1:150th scale too, I'd reckon.

I did some MF Berlin Brigade Chieftains in 10/12mm for my Very Modern British Civil War:





And, not to disappoint, here's one on fire:

Yep, and no needle tracks, no damaged nostrils and no dilated pupils. Better still, no "possession" charges.  8-} 8-} 8-}

Except when  you file your finger instead of the model

Quoteno damaged nostrils

I think we have all breathed in super glue by accident


Quoteno dilated pupils

Until we start trying to paint buttons and facial hair on 10mm figures

QuoteBetter still, no "possession" charges

Unless caught by SHMBO  accepting suspicious parcels  marked Pendraken from the postman





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!

Trust me, if you're married, there are possession charges  :(

Third platoon on me; let's get this done.
