Saxon Miniatures Royal Anglians

I saw that too... Lets hope its a seamless transition and things for the customer stay pretty much the same...

...and the reworked Saxons are available soon.

I heard warlord games have bought them

And I read Warlord Games have bought them  : http://www.warlordgames.com/warlord-games-purchase-saxon-miniatures/?utm_source=Warlord+Games+Newsletter&utm_campaign=b987fb3777-Warlord_Games_Friday_New_Releases_18_August_2017&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b7e928b4ed-b987fb3777-121422874&mc_cid=b987fb3777&mc_eid=22e2484050

No major shock. Glad to have a range that continues with the same sculptor. Hopefully it won't take too long to put them on the website this time...

[westwaller]

Oh... I look forward to Colins new dark age ranges with gurning faces then... (not)

I would have preferred someone like Northstar to take it to be honest...

[THE CID]

As long as they use good castors. I've had bad castings from Warlord and especially Northstar.
If Warlord has them let's hope they treat Colin well and he keeps producing great figures.

[Duncan McDane]

The Northstar metal ( Frostgrave )  castings are nicely put not the best ( double mould-lines on flat 28mm figs, low or no quality control, as seen in a pretty high % of miscasts and rockhard metal ) so I'm happy they didn't go to Nick. Sorry.
Warlord will see a major price rice I'm afraid but at least they can cast and my FLGS carries the line, so that's a pre.
Hope they will re-release them soon.

I'm glad I got about £250 worth just before they went to Warlord, as the Saxon shop seems to be closed now.
Hope Warlord don't take ages to release them, but I've got loads to keep me going 

[westwaller]

It will be a price rise, plus high postage costs plus highly 'variable' quality casting if my own personal experience of Warlord is anything to go by....

Oh well, at least they won't be OOP although it does rather seem like they might not be available until Warlord release their Dark Ages Hail Caesar rules 

[Lowtardog]

I think it is good news, Warlord will ensure they continue and can blossom, I have seen a good few smaller operations move to others and they disappear . Also they are in safe hands with Andy Hobday who also is involved with Footsore so great stuff all round

I won't argue with the casting (or some of the sculpting for that matter) but postage and prices do not seem out of line with what everybody else is charging. In any event though you are right: the line will be continue to be available... sometime (thank God they aren't plastic...).

.  Hear, hear agree HATE Plastic figures.

[Coenus Scaldingus]

Bunch of 'em have been made available already, not sure what they used to cost, but 6 quid for 4 seems a normal enough price for metal figures (larger pack of archers a bit cheaper). Good to see them released so soon.

[westwaller]

That's a good thing then, and actually the hearthguard are slightly cheaper than Colin had them for (although there's the Warlord postage to add)

Hopefully they will quickly add both early and later Saxons, Normans and the Arthurians in the very near future- Hoping to be proved wrong regarding my previous comments on Warlord!

[Antonio J Carrasco]

Damn! Warlord... Of all potential buyers it had to be Warlord. 

This is a sad, sad piece of news.

[Captain Blood]

Well, they seem to have kept the prices as they were - for now.

But yes, you do have to bear in mind Warlord's £5.00 minimum postage charge...
