These ones have been previewed by Techno elsewhere, but I thought it was worth popping them all into one place before we get started on moulding them. We'll probably hold these ones back until early 2014, so that we can do a dual release with the new Imperial Romans, which Techno will be getting onto once he's finished with the Mongol range.
(Note: The red pieces of putty are to help with casting during the initial production stage, so won't be on the final figures!)

Looking good,
Far too tempting,
They will get used, even if just as a few wildmen!!!
LIKE THEM I LOVE THEM :D :D :D once again beautiful figures Phil, can't wait to grab ya gauls guys. Going to be like a kid in a sweet shop with all these new releases ;D
All the best
Sean
Yup, those are very tempting
Thanks Guys !
Cheers - Phil.
Great job Phil!!
Awesome work, Phil, as always!
Just two questions:
1) No chariot?
2) no cavalry command?
Again, great sculpt Techno. Bravo! A lots of things to buy.

Very nicely done, Phil, very nicely done indeed 8)

Cheers - Phil.
Great stuff, Phil.
Tell me, just out of curiosity, how many of these little masters do you reckon to turn out in a year? They must run into hundreds. They seem to pop up like ducks in a shooting gallery every five minutes. :)
In truth Ray, I completely lose count. ;D ;D
Depends on the scale.....6mm, 10mm, 15mm.
YEARS ago....I used to convert (and make new) a lot of 15mm figures for what was then Chariot.
The converting part was almost always from old Milliput masters....A fair old pain, in truth.
One day I was sent a werewolf, made completely from Green stuff to convert.
When I next spoke to Jed...The then owner...I asked..."Who made this then ?"
"Er....You did, Phil."
I truthfully couldn't remember doing it....But as it was made of Green stuff....I believed him. ( It did look like my 'style' as well.)
Conversely.....I've 'forged' the style of other designers, so that a single figure to 'finish off' a range wouldn't look out of place.
I like to think that if the other designers ever saw these figures, they'd get confused too !! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil
Quick question Phil:
The red and blue parts in the figs. Sylmasta A+B putty? I didn´t find any other putty in that colors...
Hi P.
Yes...Absolutely correct.....Sylmasta A+B.....For the red
Very similar in feel and 'workability' to Milliput.
Small word of warning with A+B.....It's one of the messiest/dirtiest putties that I ever use.
I always use latex type gloves when mixing it......otherwise I would spend ages scrubbing the colour off my fingers....It's that bad.
In truth, I don't find it of much use for detail on an actual figure at this scale...But more than fine for bases, and items like shields.
The blue is a mix of the blue of Greenstuff....and the White part of ProCreate....You will find this much more useful for the models themselves when sculpting.
But it does 'set' quite quickly....Be warned ;)
Hope that helps !
Cheers - Phil
Interesting!
I was considering to purchase some "color" putty, cause when I add small details I have problems trying to see if Im doing correctly. You think a mix of blue of GS and white from milliput could work?
Excellent cavalry, but... long sleeve mailshirts?

Depends on which is the hardener and which is the 'medium' P.
Long sleeved ?
From the reference material I was using, I guess the answer was yes.....Don't ask what the ref material was though....It will be totally buried by now. ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil.
Strange the long sleeve, but maybe I´m the outdated.
The trouble is P.....Who knows ? ;)
One historical expert may say or think one thing.....another may say just the opposite ! ;) ;D ;D
The 'sad' thing (to me) with certain aspects of the ancients is that that we may never know for absolute certainty, until some clever soul invents a time machine.
(And we can go back and take photographs. ;) ;D)......But then....If we go back and watch a single battle....Would that be the definitive answer.....Or might that be the exception ?
Cheers - Phil.

Although, of course, if some clever soul had invented a time machine, then we'd know by now as this kind of thing would be redundant...what's that line?
"The best thing about lending someone your time machine is that you basically get it back immediately" :D
"WHAT DO WE WANT!?"
"A TIME MACHINE!!"
"WHEN DO WE WANT IT!?"
"That's pretty much irrelevant isn't it?"

In fact, the issue about celtic chainmail in the academics is VERY clear.
And the answer is Phobis?
Found it !
Should have looked there yesterday.
Phobos is quite correct regarding the infantry.....They are portrayed as having either what (to me) are short sleeved 'capped tee-shirt' style chain-mail shirts....or sleeveless shirts with the shoulder pieces similar to Greek cuirasses(?) (Pretty sure I've done those right on the infantry.)
Ian Heath has drawn the cavalry with long sleeved chain-mail.
Where Mr Heath has taken that image from I don't know.....But I'll take his word for it. ;)
Like I say.....Will we ever know with 100% certainty ? ;)
Cheers - Phil

You mean Ian Heath in WRG Armies of the Punic and Macedonian Wars?
That's the one P !! :)
Page 154....Diagram 126.
The text is hardly comprehensive though........."Many might wear mail" is about as detailed as it gets regarding chain-mail.
Cheers - Phil
I think the illustration wears a long sleeve shirt of fabric, but no mail... at least, Ian illustrates it far different of the chainmail in other figures. But yes, not the best explanation of the book.
Anyway, lovely figs, and cover the mail in arms is not difficult with a little piece of putty.
Yes, the Ian Heath illustration 126 shows a man dressed in a checked sleeved-tunic. The helmet reference is to the Gundestrup cauldron:
(http://www.archeurope.com/uploads/images/Celts/Gundestrup/Gundestrup%20Cauldron%20003.jpg)
126 notes that nobles and their retainers might wear mail. The mail would look like 124 or 125.
(http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu348/markdienekes/Celts.jpg?t=1302543623)
I haven't seen any evidence for long-sleeved hauberks until later periods. The Romans credited the Celts with the invention of mail but we have to remember that it was very expensive to produce and may have been seen as a waste to protect arms especially if a warrior was protected with a shield as well.
Cheers, Michael
(http://images7.alphacoders.com/396/396980.jpg)
From Stephen Allen, Osprey, Celtic Warrior: "Mail-shirts were an even rarer sight on the battlefield than helmets. They were worn only by noble warriors of the very highest status."
I can always change them at 'whenever' stage.....And give a bit more variation if 'The Man' wants. ;)
Cheers - Phil
I LOVE that celtic helms...
I'm beginning to wonder if my dreadful perception of two dimensional images, has been 'having a laugh' at me ?
Looking again at the line drawing of the celt cavalryman........
Am I turning a tiny, tiny check pattern into chain-mail ? (And seeing chain-mail because it's mentioned in the text.?)
I'll ask if Leon will pop the cavalry back down......I can change soon the mail shirts into completely plain shirts.
Only take me a few minutes for each one.
Won't be a problem at all.
Cheers - Phil.
Update !! ;)
Yep !!....We're going to go with that, and I'll turn them into 'plain' shirted bods......and at the same time do a mounted command group, once poor old Leon's had a chance to turn the originals into metal masters and I can have a couple of sets. :-bd
Lots of thanks to Lemmey for his assistance today !....I've got it sussed now (I hope... ;))
Cheers - Phil.
:-bd
Wow Phil - those are just spectacular. You do amazing work.
Regarding the war chariot: The old one (the structure) is really good, it only need a couple of good new horses and new crew, imho. And a yoke for the horses! ;)
AT LAST ! ;)
About to tweak some master metal cavalry, so that they have plain shirt/tunics...(as opposed to the mail they had before)..and turn the originals into a command group.
Couple of comments regarding the command bods, which I'd appreciate any input on.
Intentions are.....
Chieftain.....WILL have a mail shirt, as he's 'upper class'.....Going to give him a sword, rather than a spear, so he stands out a bit.
Musician and Standard Bearer......Plain tunics.
Musician will have an animal horn shaped horn, rather than the elongated 'thingy' that I've given the foot musician.
Anything that sounds wrong.....Shout ! ;)
I want to try and get these right first go.....and they won't take too long once I've started them. ;)
Cheers - Phil.
Sounds good to me Phil.
Animal horn for the musician sounds about right too. I'd have thought the carnyx (the elongated 'thingy') would be too unwieldy to use on horseback but, since I'm neither a musician nor a horseman, treat that comment with the suspicion it deserves!
Im looking forward to the completion of this range can't wait to get my hands on them
take care

I know I shouldn't think of things from an aesthetic point of view TOO much :-[.....But I think the carnyx (Thank you 'I' ;))..would
look completely wrong on horseback, as well as causing casting problems.
Surely it would have been far too unwieldy to use on a horse anyway. :-\
I suppose the chap
could have turned it upside down and used it as an early polo mallet (?) to batter severed heads around the battlefield.
Seriously though, thanks for the input ! :)
Cheers - Phil.
Very nice. Can see my early Imperials becoming an invasion of Britain force.
Sounds spot on, Phil.
Somebody somewhere does think a poor guy can blow a carnyx while riding a horse! ;D

Not round here it doesn't. Replica and copy are interchangeable terms. Replica can also be used to indicate a copy in an alternate scale but replica = copy in most cases.
I speak only for meanings in standard English.

That wouldnt be a bad thing Phil.
Most kids these days have their own version of English, an example of which is where the word probably becomes probberly and end up being written like that.
Gibberish, all kids are fluent in it, bring back classes of 40-50, all forced to sit in rows and terrified of the teachers, maybe then kids would leave school able to read, write and add, instead of getting O levels in converstional Greek dancing or whatever.

Yes, I'm sure it would X_X
I really like the carnyx player - and the guy with the cloak and plumed helmet would also do nicely for a Celtiberian with soliferrum.
There's something wrong with the horses' legs and the poses they're in, but i think that's because they're old sculpts and horses are a hard thing to sculpt accurately.
Im not sure if this is the right place but there are a couple of additional units I'd really like to see in this range
1 war dogs and there handler's
2 warrior women

Try jacket potatoes with pesto instead of butter; verrrrry tasty.
Main crop potato fresh out of the garden, cleaned, rubbed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and straight into over. For the filling fried onions and chopped grilled smoked bacon, mixed in with the potato 'core' and butter, then put back into the 'jacket'. Optional extra of topping with grated cheese and finished off under grill. Simple divine comfort food =P~.

Super way to eat potatoes: slice about 2mm thick, layer in buttered dish with some garlic and salt (easy on both), cover with cream, bake long and patiently until they're a crispy sort of pancake with no liquid remaining. Joke all you like about French armies, but they know a few tricks in the kitchen.
Is there any thread, anywhere on this forum that ISN'T off topic :D
We have gone from Gallic sculpts to potato recipes :o
Love it :D ;)
If its any help I like Pommes De Terre a la Boulangere
Begins and ends with French people and food (more or less).
So, any idea of current release dates? Not that I need many, but a little of everything does you good ;)
Shouldn't be too far away hopefully, we've just been delayed on a lot of the releases lately. We've got the Mongols to appear imminently, then the Anc. Spanish, the the WW1 and then we can get onto the Gallics hopefully.

Cheers Leon :) I'd been hoping for new year, then Alumwell, but hadn't realised the Ancient Spanish were first and you're still working thru the Mongols etc :) I'll bait my breath and await a while longer!
Looks that I´ll have to wait for my galatian units. Antiochus won´t be happy... :(
Was he ever?!
I don't have a need for masses, just the infantry and chariots and slingers to fill out a Warmaster "Albion" army alongside the warped warriors and hero I entered in the painting comp :)
Seriously considering retiring most of my Albion army figures - well reallocating them to my Chaos one - and replacing them with PD Gauls. Of course some Fimi .... Balori so I can revert to my original idea for the Ogres would be good too.
It's a slow burn project for me, but I've actually just finished my remaining bare lead for it (second unit of "warped warrior" Ogres, three assorted chariots). I'll see if I can get a piccy out when I've based them properly!
In more on topic news, any idea of release dates for the new Gauls :D
They're still awaiting master moulding, as we were getting some tweaks done by Phil, which arrived last week. We're probably looking at early summer I'd think, as we need to get a few other ranges released first.

I apologise in advance if this info is already bidding somewhere in plain sight and I've missed I - but what's the pack sizing going to be? I do t want enough slingers to justify a bag of thirty but I do want a thirty pack of warband! Chariots would be handy either singly or in three's. Although I'm not buying in bulk so it's no great hassle - I'm sure I could shift or use any extras up :)

I have found Leon very very helpful when it comes to part packs.
When I ordered my AWI of Clib's wonderful sculpts [
Quality :)] I ordered 43 different codes [
Choice :)] of which only 11 were in multiples of packs, 2 were half packs, all the rest were numbers of figures ranging from 3 to 164 [
Service :)].
PS Sorry Leon, only just realised how fragmented my order was :-[ :-[
Who me picky :o 3 figs AWA9 Continental comm. hunting shirts (15) [No standard please] ;D
Leon is a model of helpfulness in these things, I find.
Yeah, I was similarly awkward (but on a smaller scale!) recently with some Ottomans to round out a few bases. Guess it might have to be exact ordering, but if my needs fitted Leon & Cp.s set up it'd be easier and less hassle :D
Just a quick one to let everyone know that the Gallic mounted command arrived here last week, so we've got everything here now for the new range!

It's either the putty Techno used, or a '

I'm always amazed how regular those round shields are. They wouldn't be drawing pin heads, would they?
Did Gauls often draw pinheads?
I really hope these new Gauls will fit in with the old Early Imperial Romans so that I can do 43AD with my current Italian lads.
The round shields look handmade to me. Check out a ordinary drawing pin, they're usually huge compared to a 10mm figure. I know this because I had the same idea as you the first time I had to make a 10mm shield!

No Ray....
I've got a series of different sized bits of brass tubing, which I've 'sharpened' on the inside with a conical shaped burr.
I simply roll out a thin sheet of one of the harder putties and then use the appropriate sized tubing as a sort of mini pastry cutter.
Let it set...Sand it down to an appropriate thickness....And you can usually simply push the round shield(s) out of the rest of the putty.
The edge
might need a
tiny bit of neatening with fine glass paper sometimes....But job done !

Have you had any orders yet from the Berlin Bunker for new mass battle fantasy armies. If AH is anything to go by there must be a lot of unhappy bunnies out there. I believe he's also not pleased with his new flat in Sunderland?
Updates? :)

Hopefully very soon. The majority of the production moulds are all done, but there have been some delays as I'd forgotten to get some bits sculpted... :-[

:o X_X :-$
Over Two years to get these done :o :o :'( :'(
I think a clone needs to be sacked! :D :D

At least you can admit to your 'error' :).
Given how much juggling the Pendraken team does it is impressive that there are so few 'errors'
Except when I try and juggle scalpels ! :P

The missing bits was annoying. When we did the original lists for Techno I'd left off the javelinmen and slingers, as I wanted to check whether they would be covered by other ranges we'd be doing. Then I forgot to do that and they were left undone... :-[ Phil came to the rescue though, rushing through some new javelinmen, and the slingers are covered by the ones already done in the Spanish range.

I know, it's been a long time for these. The first year was down to the issues mentioned previously (http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11210.0.html) but since then it's just been other items jumping ahead in the queue such as the Warband ranges and some of the Naps.
any female warriors added to the range ?
take care

Not currently, but it's something we can look at further down the line.
Could you add my vote for these Leon
Take care

I've just returned from the Capitoline Museums. I trust there'll be a suitable dying Gaul in the new releases?
Any news on these Gauls, currently leaning towards Magisters (wash my mouth out with soap and water) range over the old Pendraken but could be tempted to hold off If these are on the horizon?

We've got 90% of the production moulds done, we're just having some little niggles with the last couple of codes. We've just sent a few pieces down to Techno to get them sorted out and then they'll come straight back to us to finish off these last few moulds. Timewise, I'd like to have them released shortly after Salute, end of April at the latest. These and the Romans have been sat on the shelf for far too long so I'm determined to get them released soon!

When this 'ere package arrives, I'll definitely do those bits for the Gauls first, and get those straight back up to you, Leon. :)
Oh....I've just checked with the courier. The box doesn't look like it'll arrive until Saturday. :( =)
Cheers - Phil
Phil work faster. How are the duck billed knights coming along ?

That'll be fine, no problems. You could order most of them in advance actually, the only codes which haven't been moulded are the ones listed in italics below.
These are the preliminary new range lists which are almost identical to the current ranges, just new sculpts. We'll also be adding a couple more codes in the future, light cavalry for the Gauls and also a mounted general.
Let me know what you'd like to collect and we'll get them sorted out. For everyone else, they'll be on the website as soon as we've got those last 4 moulds done.

Thanks Leon I will put together a list over the weekend and email across :)
Hmm... Gaesatae as Attacotti, (yummy, with a side of pannacotta)
