ADMINISTRATIVE, Legacy Miniatures Page

Posted on 2011/07/20 | Comments Off on ADMINISTRATIVE, Legacy Miniatures Page

I’ve started a page devoted to Legacy Miniatures releases.  At the moment there is just one entry, the Mid-Nor Hydra, which features photos of the original sculpt and all of the preview images of the final product that have been made public to date.

I’ll add an entry for the flesh golem later today, and others as information and images become available.  If you catch something before I do, by all means, please let me know.

I apologize for the blurry image at the top of this post (it’s the best I have), but found it fitting for an announcement tied to the Legacy project.  This is concept art for the Kelt living legend model on aurochs mount, which had a product code and release date at one time, but Rackham, for whatever reason, chose not to release.  I’ve seen pictures of the aurochs sculpt, but not the rider.  I wonder if Legacy will release this model.  <wink-wink, nudge-nudge>

AARKLASH ARCHIVE, Bibliotheca Down

Posted on 2011/07/16 | Comments Off on AARKLASH ARCHIVE, Bibliotheca Down

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.

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 on ARCHIVE UPDATE, more Wolfen and art

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 on ARCHIVE UPDATE, Wolfen

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.
