No need to be sorry mate. You raise some really good points. I agree %100 with you. I for one am very sad to hear that this company is going out of business! I really love their minis!

The company isnt going out of business, they are dropping an unprofitable miniature line.

As for the recession affecting the miniature business, I have worked in this industry since 1991, through 3..yes Three recessions and all as bad or worse than this one.. and the miniature business has done well. yes you will have casualties but most of the time poor decisions and bad business plans kill a company than lack of sales..look how many people on this and every thread discussing it on many boards are all saying the same thing.

Cool stuff..
To Expensive..
Impossible to get..

Its not a recession doing them in..

I seriously think all it would\'ve taken was a downloadable .pdf with some rules, pics, and fluff in English. I know for a fact that the people in our community worldwide can do stuff like that looking professional, done in a week, and probably have done in for free swag.

Whoops. My misunderstanding. Dropping the line is a bit different than going outta business. I\'m sad to hear they\'re dropping this line of minis is what I should have said. Doh! I\'m a Dumbass!

I bought a box of 3 Hell Dorado minis in Melbourne, Down Under (at Mind Games which stock their complete line of minis) last time I was there. The price wasn\'t too bad. Cheaper than buying 3 individual Rackham minis.

Also, there are some links to English rules etc available. Here\'s one link: http://helldorado.fr/ressources/telechargements/telechargement_id19/fichier.pdf

I forgot to bookmark the other link.

Hell Dorado could have done a quick rule system, like Hordes, just to get some rules in English until they had the English rules fully developed. Anything would have been better than nothing.

Guess I\'ll have to pick some stuff up soon. Anyone recommend a place to order from? Fantization is on back order for the particular miniature I want.

I guess there will be a mad rush for their stuff at salute.

You could try Maelstrom here in the UK, although they don\'t have everything in stock

I cry inside.:(

What amazes me is how many models from the range I hadn\'t even SEEN!

How long was this range/game around? It looks like years worth of releases, or maybe just a real well organized model release system. Man..... these guys really COULD have made it.

I picked up the alchemist sarrasin, She Ren Zhe (scary genie), Russian Trackers, and the Immortal Starter box. They are beautiful minis and very well casted. If you are in the US then try fantization.com they should have some models in stock.

You\'re not wrong. They have (had) so many cool minis! I got the Mercenaries Damned Rank & File box set. Beautiful minis! I\'m sure the sculptor is the same guy that made the Thousand Pace Jailer for Rackham. I\'m sure that someone else will pick up this line of minis and re-release \'em. If not, at least the sculptors will continue to make more minis and sell them. My only regret is that I didn\'t buy more of them Down Under. Seriously sweet minis!
