ORDER STATUS AND CHRISTMAS CLOSURE

I have been ill for a lot of the last week so am slightly behind on orders but hope to catch up on some this week and clear some outstanding painting and casting orders. Unfortunately, things are taking longer to do while I am not well.

I will be closing for Christmas on the Friday 18th December and reopening on January 4th 2021. You can still order over this period through the website but no orders will be processed until the start of January and I won't be taking phone orders or responding to email.

Please place any orders you want before Christmas by 11th December and I will try and complete all orders up to 11th December by the time I close on the 18th.

Any painted orders placed in December will be worked on in January unless they are for stock items.

Fighting 15s Buys Black Hat 15mm

Fighting 15s is taking over the 15mm and 18mm ranges from Black Hat Miniatures, and ownership officially transfers this weekend at Colours.

All the 15mm ranges will be sold as Gladiator Miniatures – as they were before Black Hat produced them. The 18mm Martian Empires range will be sold under the Martian Empires name in the Fighting 15s shop.

All the codes have been uploaded to the Fighting 15s shop and will go live within the next week. I have been working hard to make descriptions consistent, and to remove quirks of spelling. There will still be errors that I will kick myself over each time they become apparent...

Until the moulds and stock arrive, the pictures will be the same as used by Gladiator and Black Hat - some of these go back to 2002 and the era of modems and tiny image files, and they are not satisfactory for today's website. Some codes were never photographed. I will be updating and adding photos as soon as possible, but there are more than 800 codes to ink, photograph and edit, so please bear with me.

I have all the masters and production masters, and I should take delivery of the moulds within the next week.

Looking ahead, I aim to use Fighting 15s' shows rep, Stuart Armstrong at Colonel Bill's, to offer army packs of the Gladiator Miniatures ranges at UK wargames shows, but this will take some months to organise. Stuart already takes some AB, Eureka and Fighting 15s figures to shows.

Mark Severin at Scale Creep Miniatures will continue to carry the figures in the USA so there should be no disruption in service to US customers. Olympian will continue to carry them in Australia.

In future, all Gladiator Miniatures will be cast in lead-free pewter. This affects the costs of figures, originally priced for a much cheaper lead-tin mix, and because adding VAT will also affect the price to customers in the EU I have taken the opportunity to reorganise the contents of many of the packs to reduce the impact on the total price.

Standard packs of Gladiator Miniatures 15mm infantry and cavalry therefore now contain 8 infantry or 4 cavalry to fit in with the rest of Fighting 15s' ranges - and most of the rest of the wargaming hobby. A standard pack is now £3.40 inc tax. Chariot packs and elephant packs are £3.60 inc VAT. Command packs typically contain 5 foot or 3 mounted, and cost £2.55 inc VAT - the number in a command pack varies from range to range and descriptions of command as being "1 set" will be changed as soon as possible. Standard Martian Empires packs will be £3.60 inc VAT and continue to include 8 infantry or 4 cavalry.

Note that Mike at Black Hat Miniatures will continue to produce and distribute Coat d'arms paints, as well as focus on his 54mm toy soldier business, Imperial Miniatures. Fighting 15s will continue to represent AB Figures and Eureka Miniatures in the EU.

I am contemplating selling off most of my 25/28mm ranges to concentrate on 15mm,Coat D’arms paint and my 54mm Toy Soldier company. The ranges are:

25mm Three Musketeers
25/28mm Samurai (match Perry in size)
25mm Robin Hood
25mm Gladiators (plus MTS rules)
28mm Mutants and Madmen Superheo and SF range
28mm Cobalt-1 SF range (including rules)
28mm Shattered Isles Fantasy range

These all sell fairly steadily and vary from 39 figures or so to over 75 packs in the Cobalt-1 range.

I thought I’d offer them here for people who are not in the Miniature Manufacturers group on Facebook.

If you are interested in details and pricing them please drop me a line at [email protected] and I can send you details of the ranges, minimum price for offers, mould numbers, etc

I am closing offers on February 7th.

I am NOT selling the 28mm Chinese Fantasy Range.

You can see details of the ranges: HERE and HERE

Many thanks

Mike
