AARKLASH ARCHIVE, Bibliotheca Down

Posted on 2011/07/16 | Comments Off

It is with great regret that I have taken down the Bibliotheca section of the Aarklash Archive. Legacy Miniatures is taking too long to get back to me about this site, and I am no longer comfortable with the content in that section available to the public. The Bibliotheca was dependent on the assumption that Rackham’s miniatures and Confrontation would remain out of print, but this is no longer the case.

I will continue to work on the Bibliotheca as private pages, just in case Legacy awards UtM the permission to publish some material for archival reasons.

I would like to take this opportunity to note that all of the material on this site was previously available for free from the old Rackham websites and various other places on the Internet. From the very beginning I limited the scope of my purview to that of compiler, and never intended to abuse any intellectual property rights. It is in this spirit, to ensure that UtM remains legal, that I’ve taken down the Bibliotheca section. I should also note, with impending regret, that other sections may follow.

All updates to the Archive are on hold pending the results of current negotiations with Legacy Miniatures regarding admissible content. I’ll post more information on this matter when I can.

RACKHAM MINIATURES, Confrontation Lives!

Posted on 2011/07/08 | 6 comments

CoolMiniorNot has just posted news that Legacy Miniatures has acquired the rights to bring back into production the metal Confrontation miniatures. From their website:

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.”

For more information, read the rest of the announcement here.

ARCHIVE UPDATE, more Wolfen and art

Posted on 2011/07/04 | Comments Off

I’m continuing to make daily updates to the Wolfen section, and have also added two new sections to the GRAPHICA category in the Aarklash Archive: Illustrations and Wallpaper. At the moment these sections do not represent all that I have (some files are scattered about on my HD), so be sure to check back on occasion for updates. Also, please note that two of the files in the Wallpaper section are fan made, and will likely be moved to an area devoted to fan productions.

ARCHIVE UPDATE, Wolfen

Posted on 2011/06/30 | Comments Off

I’ve started the Wolfen page at long last. The first entry is none other than Asgarh (pictured here).

I’ve had to put updates to the archive on hold for a while due to other responsibilities, but now hope to make regular (albeit small) updates on a daily basis until the project is done. I have lots of great things to upload, so check back often. Better yet, you can subscribe to the blog by entering your email address in the appropriate location in the bar on the left, or via RSS feed.

Confrontation 3, cards

Posted on 2010/12/19 | 3 comments

I’ve added a page to the Confrontation section featuring links to download the ZIP files containing most of the cards for C3. These are the same files that were available on the old Rackham Web site. The files are available in both French and English.

War Chest, selling Hybrid and Hybrid: Nemesis

Posted on 2010/09/04 | 2 comments

I’ve decided to sell my last “backup” copies of Hybrid and Hybrid: Nemesis in my continued effort to increase funds for the Mannikin Miniatures project. Both of these are brand new and still in the shrink wrap. All proceeds from these sales will go toward the production of some miniatures I’m sure many of you will love. Trust me. Oh, and the official announcement is just around the corner, and will include pictures of sculpts for the signature range. Stay tuned.

To check the auctions, click on the respective image or the links below. Cheers!

WIPs, August-September 2010

Posted on 2010/08/30 | Comments Off

Featured below is the start of a number of projects I’ll be working on in my spare time (very limited at the moment) over the coming month. The paint jobs for all of these will be extremely simple, excluding the Bronze Age troll and Anakron’s zombie bust, both of which I will give their due. You can track my progress on these projects here, over at DragonPainting.net, or both.
