Northstar are taking over the stocking and mail order of Copplestone castings figures. To allow Mark to concentrate on sculpting.
If I had known that was the problem I would have volunteered my services FOC.

EXCITING NEWS  AT COPPLESTONE CASTINGS
 

From 14th March the day-to-day running of Copplestone Castings will be dealt with by our friends at North Star Military Figures. This is really good for me because it means I’ll have more time to sculpt new packs for existing ranges and maybe work on a couple of new projects.
 

It also means that Wargames Emporium will be able to take our full range to UK shows.
 

From now until 14th March while we transfer stock and moulds we’ll still be taking orders as normal, but stock levels may be low and you may (temporarily) not be able to buy everything you want. Once our new website, integrated into North Star's, is up and running it'll be back to business as usual.  And there'll be a special limited edition miniature to mark the occasion.  More about that soon.

 From the Northstar news letter.

 We will send a further newsletter nearer the date, but for now have a look at the fantastic figures the range includes, and take note there will be special offers and a free exclusive figure once the range is listed on the North Star website.

 Time to save up and see what special offers will be on ;).

For what it's worth, the shipping rates are different and North Star's is higher outside of the UK, so it might be worth taking that into account if you were thinking of making a Copplestone purchase.

Copplestone:
Quote
10% on all items to UK and BFPO. Minimum charge £2.00.
15% on all items to Europe (including Russia). Minimum charge £3.50
20% on all items to USA/Rest of the World. Minimum charge £4.00

North Star:

10% on all products to UK and BFPO. Minimum charge £2.00
20% on all products to Europe. Minimum charge £5.00
25% on all products to USA/Rest of World. Minimum charge £5.00

Wish I knew if the limited edition mini was one I was likely to give a damn about!

I-m happy to  pay a bit more if  that means there will be more releases. :D

In any case alternative 15mm late romans and barbaric tribes also consider Westwind`s  Forged in Battle:

They`ve got a kickstarter going on for late romans, Franks,  goths and the likes. I  got a bunch of ancient germans from this range just to see and they`re only a little slimmer. Copplestone`s barbarians are more `heroic` in comparison.

Wazoom!

Just got the new Copplestone newsletter, and it seems, we have finally a proof of God's existance, because Mr C. has heard our call:

"The plan is for me to make regular new releases for existing Copplestone Castings ranges (initially 10mm or 15mm fantasy) and start work on a couple of new projects.   One of these will be a 28mm fantasy range and the other will be a quirky 30mm toy soldier range called Little Interwars."
