Things not going well for Rackham

[greenstuffguy]

Explanations from Rackham. In short, that means:

-AT43 is doing great in the US, but not so well in Europe;

-Confrontation is not doing well at all, described as "at the end of its life cycle", and AT43 isn't doing well enough yet to compensate the losses from Confrontation.

-Rackham has gone through changes over the past months (read closing of the foundry, many people fired including sculptors, artists,...), the first effects of which are seen right now. Those changes will keep on going though.

-Rackham accounting is being reviewed right now.

This last part is typically a first step leading to the company shutting down if they're unable to fulfill the plan set by the reviewer.


Sad, on the other hand online shops are having great big sales, so buy buy buy people before it's too late.

P.S here is a online shop link:

A shame this but then I have a huge stockpile of Confrontation enough to last me quite a few years to be honest so I won't be needing to rush out and buy more.

with rackham giving up on metal minis, and GW going to plastic (and I've heard also looking into prepaints) and Reaper going to prepaints, it looks like large mainstream metal minis are going to become a thing of the past

Thats why we have to turn to the 'garage' company's like Hasslefree, Wyrd, Enigma etc...

Which IMO, make better models than GW, Rackham and Reaper do....together, in a sausage filling system.
