New packaging
(29/10/07)
Whether you have followed our progress or are new to this range of miniatures, there is some important news regarding some of the current blisters we sell.
The Problem
Earlier this year, the first Force Organisations for the new game were uploaded for all to see so that people could start playing (games). When doing the organisation lists, a choice was made by myself, that any lists made for a race should reflect how we want them to play as an army on the table as well as how we view their characteristics in their background. Obviously the style of each race will become more apparent as more background is released for each race but its important that people can at least get a glimpse through the stats and organisation lists we have.
However, that has created the problem that we have blisters that are packaged inconsistently to the formations in the Force organisation lists.
So we have been working for some months now to repackage the affected blisters to ensure that this problem is corrected. Repackaging our range has actually meant arranging for them to be re-moulded in many cases too, hence its such a big task!

The blisters should be available soon though the old packs will be available for a while on our website. All retailers who have restocked our products will have the new blisters sent to them.
So what happens to those who bought some of the old blisters affected by the change?
Well, those that want to, can email me for the separate models whether they be infantry or vehicles. It must be a minimum £5 order for this service as time required to sort out orders like these will be relatively high.
I will invoice you personally for the individual models, hence this will not be available on the website.
This offer will only be temporary so if you need the models please dont wait too long before you come to me and ask for them. I will give everyone some warning as to when this option is no longer available.
I do apologise for the disruption and hope that you understand.
Doug
