It would be good if someone would pick the 28mm sci-fi scenics stuff up.

Yeah, I totally agree. That is some of the best sci fi scenery bits out there. Kinda wishing I'd picked up more before they closed down!

[JamesValentine]

well seems they have been picked up by a company paid for by wayland games.
Can't fully recall name. I was a little concerned when I heard Waylands name as they are conmen.
but these are just apparently on their paybooks

this is what happens when you have no focus on your games.
poor rule sets.
poor decisions such as legions.
grabbing popular IP's and just doing god knows what and charging insane money (halo)
flipping back and forth and having no continuity with releases.

its like warlord basically

Obviously a matter of opinion, and Spartan did aappear to have a lackof focus and support for their existing games but certainly the one I'm most familiar with (Halo fleet battles,) was a lot of fun. I certainly wouldn't call it poor. It wasn't that expensive either.

As for Warlord. I get why people don't like them but I'm not sure many of those accusations can be levelled at them either really. Their games are pretty solid in the main, well supported with regular releases, very high production values. On the higher end of the pp rice spectrum but not extortionate.

Just seems an odd rant.

warlords main games are supported, apart from fan/creator efforts the licensed games and th one off games are pretty much released and left to die almost.

Which ones are we talking about?

It seems Warcradle has bought both the Dystopian and Firestorm IPs. Here's the announcement:
