Confrontation lives!

Post by Darkson »

From the CMON newsletter:
Confrontation lives!

Legacy Miniatures is excited to announce that they have secured the license to the entire Confrontation back catalog, and will immediately start producing previously released and unreleased figures from this amazing and sorely missed miniatures line.

Confrontation was a game published by Rackham Entertainment until it entered liquidation in 2009, and some of the most amazing 28mm figures in the world ceased to be available at that time. Cyanide Studios, a prominent French video game developer, has acquired the Confrontation IP and has licensed the miniatures to Legacy Miniatures.

"We're incredibly pleased", said Vincent Fontaine Artistic Director of Legacy Miniatures and former Paint Director of Rackham Entertainment. "We're starting out slowly and doing about 2 to 4 releases a month, some miniatures that never saw production before Rackham closed its doors."

Working exclusively with CoolMiniOrNot, these "new" releases and re-releases of old favorites will first be avaliable at Gencon 2011 Indy, with the never before seen Hydra and the rare Flesh Golem making their debut. The plan currently is to produce limited runs, these incredibly hot miniatures will be sure to sell out fast!

"Obviously we're thrilled", said David Doust, co-founder of Cool Mini Or Not. "Although we handle beautiful miniatures every day, there is something special about Confrontation. We're looking forward to helping bring these miniatures back to life."

For further information, please contact info@legacyminiatures.com at Legacy Miniatures, or sales@coolminiornot.com at CoolMiniOrNot Inc.
My first thoughts were "great, there some really nice Confrontation figs I'd like to have".

My second thought was "Shit, how are Cyanide going to screw this one up!"

The answer to number 2 is they can't screw it up worse than rackham did. Confrontation 3.5 was one of the best games and systems I've ever played and the figures were fantastic I had 5 factions and would have brought more but.... Then they went prepainted plastic and radically altered the rule set. They did not listen to their established fan base and paid the price the game and the company died. RIP Confrontation you are missed :cry: . Burn in H Rackham entertainment good riddance :pissed:

From the discussions on Dakka it sounds as if this is more towards the collector market than towards the wargaming one. Also heard it will be resin

And that answers Darkson's question, on how Cyanide can screw this one up. We will get beta-resin, at full version prices. They will occasionally release small packs of green for us the fix their miscasts. :)

Looking at them ninja goblins I think I'll wait for Greebo to get his Nippon Gobbo's sorted out. (It's not like I'm in a rush!!)

Happy and sad.

Happy to get my hands on more confrontation figs.

Sad that my mid-nor chaos dwarf team will not be as unusual.
