--- Zitat ---I\'m sure that some have already \'twigged this\' but here\'s the official announcement from BAM :

From Simon Bargery of Bolt Action Miniatures:

After five years of effort, the time has finally come for Paul and I
to step down from the helm of Bolt Action. Our personal situations
have changed drastically this year, giving us less and less time to
focus on Bolt Action. As a result we\'ve made an effort to find a new
owner, someone capable and enthusiastic, someone who could pick up the
baton and run with it.

We\'ve been in discussion with a couple of extremely enthusiastic
gentlemen through most of this year and have now agreed a deal.

The most important aspect from our point of view was that the Bolt
Action name continued and that the quality was maintained, in terms of
design, product and service. We believe that not only will quality be
maintained through the new owners, it will be improved upon.

The good news is that not only will the quality improve, but so will
the quantity. The new owners are committed to using Paul Hicks to
create new figure ranges and also to the current line of vehicle and
gun builders.

Paul and I will still be involved in Bolt Action. Paul will be busy
sculpting new ranges (and completing existing ones!) and I\'ll be
contributing some gaming, painting and modelling articles.

We\'re really excited to announce that Paul Sawyer and John Stallard of
Warlord Games will be picking up the Bolt Action kitbag and heading
for the combat zone.

Expect to see just a little bit of disruption as we transfer
everything from our shed in Portsmouth to the plush surroundings of
Warlord Games in Nottingham!

On behalf of us both I\'d like to extend sincerest thanks to everyone
who\'s bought, painted and played with BoltAction figures. We\'ve always
appreciated your business, your feedback and your enthusiasm. Please
continue to support the brand – I know there are some fantastic plans
in place and both guys are massive WWII fans, so you can expect a
great future for Bolt Action!

On a personal note Paul and I will both be involved with small future
personal wargaming projects so we\'ll still be hanging around UK and
European shows, in a trade and gaming perspective.

From Warlord Games:

Warlord Games are delighted to become the proud new owners of Bolt
Action Miniatures Ltd.

Adding Bolt Action\'s splendid line of 28mm World War II miniatures and
vehicles to our existing portfolio of hard plastic and metal 28mm
Imperial Roman and Celt ranges is one that has excited Warlord Owners
John Stallard and Paul Sawyer for months - they\'ve certainly collected
plenty of them over the years!

John Stallard of Warlord Games says \"It will be business as usual for
a while as with such a large and interesting range we will need some
time to get our heads around it all\". Warlord plan to run the
existing website as it is as well as manufacturing and despatching
from their Nottingham HQ. \"To the large and growing fans and
customers of Bolt Action there should be minimal disruption, but if
there is anything that anyone wants to know, please call us on 0115
978 4202 and we will do our best to answer your query\". John goes on
to say \"Filling gaps in the current range will be a priority before we
embark on our plans for the future\".

Bolt Action have been in business for about 6 years and have built up
an unrivalled product range thank to the previous owners, Simon
Bargery and Paul Hicks. Both Simon and Paul aim to remain involved
with Bolt Action with Paul continuing to produce great sculpts and
Simon wanting to provide painting and gaming material for us.

Warlord Games\' Paul Sawyer says \"The addition of the Bolt Action line
to the Warlord Games stable is one which excites both myself and John
as self-confessed WW2 enthusiasts (who isn\'t?). This doesn\'t mean a
huge shift away from our current Imperial Roman and Celtic lines - far
from it! We want to reasure our brilliant fanbase that we have big
plans for both of those ranges still as well as adding even more to
the Bolt Action line and continuing with our forthcoming English Civil
Wars and Thirty Years Wars ranges.\".

Warlord want to thank Paul and Simon at Bolt Action (and their
long-suffering partners, Toni and Kerry) for all their hard work in
building this great range and look forward to working with them again
in the future.

--- Ende Zitat ---

Schrumpfkopf:
platic 28mm fuer ww2 - damit kann man allerdings noch reich werden.

Bommel:
sehe ich auch so, und warum nicht?

Vingthor:
hört sich klasse an..

Diomedes:
Ich bezweifele, daß sich WW2 in Plastik realisieren läßt und noch mehr daß man davon reich wird.

Abgesehen davon sehe ich da keine Ankündigung zu Plastikfiguren, Warlord führt die Zinnreihe fort. Oder ich habe das überlesen.
