Warrior Miniatures Glasgow.......Still going? June 2025 Update

[robh]

Anyone up north know if Warrior Miniatures are still going?
I have been trying to spend money with them but they are not answering emails (either account) or telephone calls.

Anyone in touch with them?


****Update June 2025:  Warrior is officially back up and running, John confirmed this week that they are back in production and taking sales orders again. They have a bit of a backlog to work through but will happily take orders again.********

I emailed John a couple of weeks ago and got nothing back which was surprising as he is usually very quick to reply.

I have been trying for over a week now.  I can understand email issues but the phone number does not ring or go to answer machine, just cuts off.

I have just put an order. Will see how it goes    Supposedly orders ship out between 3 and 5 days.

At least they still use the order now - pay later sales model so I will not be out of pocket if they have gone under.

I hope so. I wanted to order some 25mm Dwarves and Goblins.

I put in an order a few of months ago.  Got a reply saying health problems had struck and I would receive an invoice in about 6 weeks when the goods were ready.  I said fine, wished him well and waited.  Nothing so far.

I hope John is OK and still in business and I'll keep an eye on this thread.

I have still not had any response. I am not in any rush for the figures (Gallia Chinese) but would like to know if my order will be fulfilled.

This is on their homepage 

Unfortunately due to personal circumstances we are unable to take any orders or respond to queries at this time.

I received an email from John last night, he is unwell but thankfully recovering.
As stated on the website no orders or enquiries will be dealt with currently. He is hoping to begin going again towards the end of January.

Has there been any news about Warrior? It's been worryingly quiet for quite a while now.

John Coutts posted on his blog in response to a question whether there was an announcement:

"no comment as far as I know-I spoke to John a few months ago,and told me he just couldn't do it anymore(he's 80!!)"

3 years later…the website has the same message…but, the website is still up …anyone have any new info?

[robh]

Not really "new" info but John was able to fulfil my Gallia order eventually, although he did say back then getting Warrior up and running again was more an "if" rather than "when" situation.

All I can suggest is to drop him an email and ask, although it may take a long time to get a response. John is a great guy to deal with but is in his 80s.

good albeit cautious optimism for this

In an age when lots of small suppliers are closing down it is great to see one of the old school companies returning. The Gallia 15mm ranges still rank alongside much newer sculpts for quality.
