Warlord Games purchases Arsenal Miniatures range

[Kingscarbine]

I talked with Paul Hicks and intended to buy the range but he hadn't any information about the whereabouts of the figures. Pro Gloria was also interested in the models but it looks like Warlord got to them: http://www.warlordgames.com/39991/warlord-games-purchases-arsenal-miniatures-range/

This is great news - they are beautiful sculpts. 

I may have to start my Maltese Corsair project I've always wanted to do... Oh no!

[Maichus]

I know of at least two other companies/people + myself, who were interested in the range for some time but afaik no reaction from the previous owner, so this comes as a bit of surprise.

However, it's good to see the range finally getting into production.

[Cubs]

Warlord do a lot of this, buying up little companies with excellent models who are having trouble getting the most out of them, either because of lack of funds or lack of time or whatever.

I'd say it's a win-win situation for all sides, but I hope Warlord aren't over-stretching themselves financially and expanding too quickly. The last thing we want to see is them collapsing just as they're really hitting their straps.

PS. There's a certain Malta-obsessed person I think will be very excited about this.

[Kingscarbine]

I hope they expand the range as I'm still waiting for a good late 16th century 28mm line of figures. TAG also has plans for an Elizabethan range for quite some time.

I would also like to say that I was also very shocked to find that Warlord had been able to contact the owner and had purchased the range. Very pleased to see that they will see the light of day.

Hooray!  Maybe now the 16th century will no longer be the stepchild of figure manufacturers. 

[Sir Barnaby Hammond-Rye]

What does the range consist of? I could only find a couple of pictures on a blog.

Finally!

I have been waiting for these for years. Malta 1565, here we go!

Hear hear. Great figures Paul, and I'll certainly be getting them. Glad they've finally made it onto the market.

They mentioned that two members of their Forum help them. Maybe it was a problem of language. I think the owner is italian.

I also hope so, but we should wait and see.

Great news.

Wow 3 years ago I last inquired on these and now they will come to surface after all that time couldn't be happier! Great stuff
