Just found this, from a total war gamer guy, on anothef forum with someone complaining.

"Labrat mentions Maelstrom Games going out of business - it is this company going under that has caused suppliers in the industry to cap credit - mentioned by the original poster.

Total Wargamer has been affected by this (as all retailers in the industry have been) - I hope this clarifies the situation."#

which seems.... bad.

So Maelstrom ruined things for everyone? Unfortunate.

Buying from Mierce is immoral.

But they have the best Beastmen characters and minotaurs I've ever seen.

I think the PP pirate range from the mercenaries fraction are fantastic. I plan to get some for my future free company of seadogs.

I like a good number of the mercenary range.

The pirates are nice, but I think a bit overpriced. I like the pirate warjacks the best though!

GamesPoet · « **Reply #1932 on:** June 13, 2013, 11:19:09 PM »

Yep, the price continues to keep me from picking some up.

Timbor · « **Reply #1933 on:** June 13, 2013, 11:38:13 PM »

Especially when the market is awash with nice pirate miniatures, with more pose variety, at cheaper prices.

Me too, but this:
Price: $44.99*
Model Materials: White Metal
Model Count: 10

means, that you pay $4.5 for a metal mini of A sculpt quality. I believe this is the minimum on the market, cheaper would mean lower quality or cheaper material.

One Pirate of Sartosa from GW is €11.50.

I wouldn't mind if they were cheaper.

Yes, I have seen many of them, but if you have any links at hand would you mind psoting them?

The problem here is the trust, after the downfall of Maelstorm, how can I trust a small unknown internet site to send them my money purely on the base of trust. At least with Privateer press I'm preaty safe.

Yes those are nice, I have seen them before, but how reliable is this company? Has anyone ordered from them - lately?

Never heard there were any problems. Aren't you thinking of Black Tree Designs perhaps?

They have been much better of late.
Two years ago they were very slow - delivered in the end, but could take several weeks. Last year, and so far this I have placed half a dozen orders that all came through within two weeks.

I also have used Black Tree recently and they were fine

I've also for stuff from Black Scorpion and they were good and reliable too

Crusader pirates.

DariusZero · « **Reply #1941 on:** June 19, 2013, 06:57:48 AM »

Nice minis. I also like the hoplites.

Does anyone know how big are these dudes? Suitable for Empire? I was thinking merecenaries.

Looks pretty cool, but I am a bit hesitant until I see more than just concept drawings - looks like they do good work though.

In other news, sculpts for the upcoming lead adventure knights:
