I succesfully ordered several miniatures from Obelisk by sending Josef an email a couple of weeks ago. He responded really quick and was very generous fullfilling distinctive wishes for special miniatures from random sets.
I ordered all chinese, the touareg footslogging zombies, one camel command zombie and two other camel zombies. Only product he could not manage to deliver was a set of pavians.
Regarding Black Cat Bases, I wrote to them and never received an email. I fear they are down. Would be a pity, they have some unique models.
