"Cipher Studios announces that the Anima Tactics™ Miniature Skirmish Game is being discontinued. Anima Tactics™ has had a long run, launching in 2006 with over 150 unique characters released. The game has become unsustainable from a business standpoint due to market and global distribution changes, so the hard decision to discontinue the line had to be made.

We at Cipher Studios thank our fans for the many years of support in building a wonderful community of players and hobbyists around a game we have loved creating.

Anima Tactics™ and Hell Dorado™ will no longer be sold through distribution. The ranges for both product lines will remain available online through the Ninja Division | Soda Pop Miniatures web store.

The Cipher Studios web store will close March 13th. Stock will then be transferred to the Ninja Division | Soda Pop Miniatures warehouse and resume sale on March 30.

The last new figures for Anima Tactics™ will be released through the web store, including a special edition Celia model.

The Hell Dorado™ range will continue. Hell Dorado™ new releases will resume, with the next release wave beginning during Q2 2015.

They did, for a video game. That will carry on as usual, but the miniatures themselves are kaput.

they also did one for HD, that they seem to keep. No idea why, it's dying just as well as AT.

short story of HD:
- French Asmodee gave up, as it's not family friendly (don't fit their new image)
- 2 years of nothing, where Cypher acquired the rights, mold and made the English translation
- about a year or two later HD-Kickstarter
- HD-KS should be delivered 2 years ago, but were 1 year late (6 months for US, +6 months shipping to Eu). By that time everyone moved on, so no interest in HD gaming (even though the system and figures are good).
- Now almost a year later not a single new release.
so basically a dead system too on it's way of confrontation.

There are a couple HD minis I want to buy; so I guess now is the time to do it.
