New update on their FB page:

Hi guys just a quick note to hopefully cover your questions,
Simon and Lisa have sold Pig Iron to us Alex and Helen.
The ranges are intact and will be available to purchase when the webstore becomes active fingers crossed in the next few days.
We will be restocked by the end of April.
Simon will not be sculpting for us but we plan to keep the same feel and quality of miniatures going.
There will be some new models coming soon, vehicles to add to the Near Future range (by the end of April).
We are likley to be attending various wargames shows in the UK to promote Pig Iron Productions and hopefully bring the range to a new audience.
Helen & Alex

Great way to get a huge amount of sales, though.

They HAVE sold the company though... so it must have been nice to get rid of some stock and reap the rewards before selling the business on.

Good for Simon and Lisa. Seem like nice folk, deserving of a windfall.

And as for new vehicles, sculpts and such in keeping with the aesthetic of the original range, I'm all for it.

Simon sure has a style. Hope he feels like pushing some putty at some point down the road.



Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

They're wargamers from York, apparently.

Well, I don't regret racking up the small piles of bits that I did anyway.
Good luck to Alex and Lucy with the company! I hope the lightning quick service continues  ;)
