It's a great shame we can't buy the classic Bolt Action castings anymore. Paul (or anyone else!) I'm assuming Warlords have the rights to make them still? Has anyone ever voiced the idea of a time limited reissue?

Unfortunately too late, I went with another manufacturer supplemented by some of the Warlord Games metals still available. In an ideal world I could afford to buy those, and hope another two sections became available someday, and retire the existing ones..  My other hope is the Renegade Miniatures ones coming back into production. Every so often I check their website only to have my hopes dashed again.

Not to derail the thread, I do however have the contents of that box kicking about. 10 blokes, some primer on, unfinished. Shah, if you wanted them?

sorry people - I think I misunderstood the situation and thought these Para section castings were no longer available, but now I see them on the Warlord website. Are all of those metal British Para packs designed by Paul Hicks?

Not surprisingly they remain the best of Warlord’s offerings. I tend to think of Voldemort Games not so much as a manufacturer but a venture capital outfit that buys up companies and asset strips them. Christ knows why they replaced Paul’s other ranges, the replacements aren’t a patch on the original BA stuff.

My Paras are a mix of Warlord metals Foundry and Black Tree the first two mix in perfectly the latter is a bit hit and miss.

And that reminds me it's now a year since I ordered Early War Germans from Black Tree and they still haven't corrected the original order after a year of emailing them about the missing packs...

So I send them another email, log another complaint with consumeradvice, and keep telling people about mine and other's experiences with them. It's kind of a Christmas tradition for me now.

So remember kids.. DON'T ORDER FROM BTD, AS THEY WILL STIFF YOU.
