Title: Black Hat buys Shattered Isles
Post by: black hat miniatures on January 27, 2009, 11:49:07 AM

I am pleased to announce that we have purchased the rights to the Shattered Isles fantasy range from Mark Sims at Crusader Publishing.

The range currently includes Buccaneer Orcs, Dwarf Explorers and the newly released Halfling Militia.

There are a number of unreleased packs and half-completed figures and we will releasing these and adding to the range over the coming year. We have a number of interesting plans for this pirate/ship-based fantasy range.

The moulds are now with us and we will have stocks of the figures at the York Show on Sunday 1st February and hope to have them up in the Black Hat shop by the beginning of next week.

We will be merging our Distant Lands fantasy range with the Shattered Isles range to create one complete Fantasy line.

As well as the Shattered Isles range we have also purchased the rights to the start of a Pulp SF range called "They came from Uranus" that Mark was working on, this will be developed and released later in the year.

These new ranges will be available through our usual retailers including Rattlehead Games and Scale Creep Miniatures in the USA.

I'm confused. If that's Shattered Isles, then what's Uncharted Lands, the game that Spartan Games is supposedly producing that advertises the same miniatures?

The Spartan Games game is not connected with those miniatures any more.  Mark Sims took them back into his own range, leaving Spartan Games with the name.
