Pig Iron Productions closing its doors...

Pig Iron bones....

Purely for selfish reasons I hope the miniatures stay in the UK 

[throwsFireball]

If anyone's looking to buy stuff, Battlefield Berlin and the Warstore have some parts of the range left.

I want to get a Feral HQ but Berlin's shipping is more than the miniature itself. Anyone wanna split shipping with me in the UK? :p

This was mentioned on the Reaper forum yesterday - link

Interesting reply from the Reaper guy...

ReaperBryan (their rep on the forum) said
"We are aware of the situation. We are not really at liberty to discuss any particulars."
If that weren't enough to get your hopes up about a possible deal, the thread was then promptly locked.

Reaper is generally pretty good about letting folks discuss other miniature lines on their site, so this does make the whole exchange more interesting.

One thing I do hope is that if Reaper acquires the minis and decides not to put the tanks into production, that they get the molds to someone who will.  I had one of their tanks for a while and it's still a lovely kit.

An additional factor is that since the Pig Iron figs have a crisp aesthetic without alot of fiddly details/filigree/antennae, they would be absolutely ideal candidates for casting in the Bones material. 

Probably a long shot, but here's to hoping....

One of those companies I always meant to buy from but never quite got round to because of time or money but If they are going I felt had to grab some stuff before is disappeared even if I can't really afford it right now. Hopefully someone will pick up the line.

That's exactly the same with me. Unfortunately right now is a time where cash is so tight I can't afford anything except food.

I bought several stuff, Last Order - i think- this week. It would be terrible for us, when reaper would geht this fantastic Range. I Hope that northstar would buy it for the osprey scifi book this year. But only a wishful thinking

Northstar would be an excellent fit I would have thought. Plus it keeps the miniatures in the UK which is a bonus for me.

Sad news, although not entirely without hope for the models staying in production.

I thought that. Another link between northstar and Osprey with the Pig Iron Productions figures as a quasi official Tomorrow's war range.

Ok, let's mail Nick, that he should buy the range!!!!

[Captain Blood]

A very great shame. Very nice people to deal with. Now I feel bad that I didn't buy more of their miniatures. And only painted so few of the ones I did buy.

Here, for posterity, are the ones I did get round to painting. (Just to remind you how gorgeous these figures are, and why it would be good to see them continue... )

I just received a lovely bag of heads from Pig Iron

I really hope that all of their efforts to produce such a great range are not wasted and get picked up by another company

I wish the Pig Iron family much happiness

Those are awesome captain blood ,the ferals just scream necromunda to me.

[Hupp n at em]

Sad news. I just went to place a final order, unfortunately aside form a pack of blades there were only head sprues left really.  At least their stock is getting cleared out so the transition will be easy for them in that respect.

When Lise told me earlier in the week this was happening it was very sad news indeed. Been the resident 'fambois' for years, it was Simon who got my spartan helmets cast for me. Great friends and that's why the decision is right for them
 Family comes first.

Sure they'll be picked up. Just sad to see them go.

[Onebigriver]

Sad news. Lovely ranges, I hope these stay in production too.
