Not that I'm aware of. I'm one of the first retailers in the US to sign on. I can ship to the uk, but you would be paying international shipping rates

Those appear to be very fragile minis.

They are not.

They are resin figures. I would handle them the way I would any other resin figure.

Different materials have different strengths it should be handled differently. Different tool for the job type of thing

That officer has a great Weird WW1 vibe, but he looks very small compared to the rifleman on your blog page. Bit of a scaling issue?

Shame the manufacturer chooses a private, members only facebook page as his marketing presence. Guess he is not that concerned about sales from the majority of buyers.  :?

Lord Marcus, I'm in the US.  What is your website (and do you have the figures in now)?

I have some of the figures now. I have a copy of the rulebook too

It's been rather popular, and my stock has been depleted by a few orders. I have more coming. Pm me if you want help with an order.

@robh, odd, I'll let him no it's not public

Scouts out just put up a post on their main Facebook page. The group being set as private was apparently not the plan but it somehow can't be undone.
