# Pendraken Miniatures

> Pendraken Miniatures is a British manufacturer and retailer of wargaming miniatures and modelling supplies, established in 1992 and based in Middlesbrough, North East England. It is best known for one of the largest ranges of 10mm metal wargaming figures in the world. Pendraken both casts its own ranges (designed and produced in the UK) and stocks thousands of third-party products including paints, bases, brushes, scenery, terrain, flags, decals and rulebooks. The catalogue runs to over 11,000 products covering historical, fantasy and sci-fi gaming, with more than 5,000 codes dedicated to 10mm wargaming alone.

Pendraken is both a maker and a one-stop shop: hobbyists come to Pendraken to buy complete armies in a single scale, and to source everything needed to build, base and paint them. The company is the publisher of the "Commander" series of wargames rules (Blitzkrieg Commander, Cold War Commander, Future War Commander) and runs an online community forum and a physical retail shop.
