(COMMERCIAL) Musketeer Miniatures News

From the Musketeer blog at http://musketeerminiatures.blogspot.co.uk :

Hello All

Its been a number years since Lord S and Darren at Gripping Beast took over the reins of running Musketeer Miniatures, and in that time we have seen many changes both for myself personally, and for Gripping Beast. I now find myself in the position of being able to take over the day-to-day running of Musketeer once more, and enable Gripping Beast to concentrate their efforts on their many new projects which are keeping them very busy. I'd like to send Lord S, Darren, Roger and Martin my immense gratitude and thanks for helping to keep the Musketeer ranges alive and kicking during this time, and making my move to the US possible. I couldn't have done it without them all so thank you guys.

Musketeer will be opening up in the US as soon as the logistics of transporting molds have been dealt with. The ranges currently available will be released one at a time as production molding takes place over time. I plan to continue production in the UK and this is being worked on at the moment too. Due to the logistics of this part of the reorganization, there may be a period when Musketeer ranges won't be available, but we hope to keep this time as short as possible depending on circumstances. Until then all Musketeer ranges will be still available from Gripping Beast until Sept 30th 2014.

This will be a large reorganizing and we'll announce more when there are firmer details available. We would like to thank our many customers for their patience during this time.

All the best

I want my Early-Saxon warband, damnit! I nearly bought it so many times, then when I went to finally buy it, the site was down and Gripping Beast were no longer distributing!

Musketeer and Gripping Beast have parted ways. Musketeer will be sold under the Footsore Miniatures label once everything has been organised. The US side has started selling some of the products but not many. The UK side has moved their casting machine and the piles of moulds into a workshop in Nottingham but is waiting on Chesney finishing his full time obligations to another company before he can get the UK end up and running.

At least that was the state of play a couple of weeks ago when I helped him move some stuff. There was an announcement on a blog... found it:
