Yep its all interesting stuff to be honest, the whole economic situation with global events must be playing into stuff as you say. John was actually pretty upfront about them needing to make money at the end of the day, it was quite a cool little part of the tour being in his office and him telling us stuff.

Its actually quite nice for a company whos a big player to decide to be somewhat open about things, granted they are pretty poor at communicating on some fronts, and still have mental pricing in some cases, I forgot about those extortionate blood-red skies minis. While I remember the new release for blood-red skies is using colored warlord resin (sio-cast), we saw some in production at the open day, and I have to say they looked nice and might actually be a good fit for the material.

I’m also keen to see what happens with skytrex, they have approached it differently to previous buyouts, and kept the identity rather than absorbed it. I wonder if we’ll see some of their mini cataloged used as part of their blackpowder “push”?

Just remembered hail ceasar, I think that’s in the same boat a pike and shotte, will probably just trundle along, the rulesets fine, they made a range of minis (a bit dated now) but it probably just keeps selling and they have the plastic moulds so its cheap to sell, also you’d be made to choose warlord minis for that over victrix or gripping beast 🙂
