Magua's back in stock. Shipping rates to Canada have been increased to $12.50. Europe and the rest of the world shipping has decreased to $16.00. British and French Regulars are still in the works...

...and I still haven't won the lottery.

I have added all new photos of white primed miniatures in the catalog pages, even some that were never there in the first place. There are still a couple left to replace, as soon as I remember where I put those particular miniatures...

A few days ago I discovered about 15 orders I had received via paypal that I wasn't notified of. Usually, I get an email from paypal as soon as an order is placed, I click the link, print an invoice, pack the order, mail it, etc. I rarely visit the actual paypal sight unless I'm going to take money out of the account.

Anyways, the point of this message is to let you know that going back to September 20th I have orders that need to get packed and sent off as only some of them reached my inbox. So, if you placed an order between now and then and haven't received it, this might be the reason. I was busy over the weekend (my birthday) and so am addressing it now.

Sorry for the delay...over normal shipping time anyways.

Back in stock are Comanche Warriors on foot, Iroquois B and pretty much everything else.

Stolen from the Conquest Miniatures booth at Historicon.

From Saturday evening, after the dealer hall closed, to Sunday morning, just before the dealer hall opened, this display miniature was stolen. I do a thorough check of all of my miniatures anytime I leave my booth or return and after closing Saturday evening the miniature was still present. Upon my return to my booth Sunday morning about 15 minutes until hall opening, it was gone.

Because of the time this miniature was taken, there is a high chance that another dealer or someone working for/with another dealer is responsible. However, anything is possible as security consists of loud Gypsy music which hardly does anything to detour those not allowed ‘after hours’ it does annoy the hell out of those who are supposed to be there.

It is perfectly feasible that a customer is responsible as there were still con attendees in the hall when I left for the night.

In any case, this miniature was my favorite out of my collection, and more importantly, IT WASN'T YOURS!!!

Whoever is responsible for the despicable act need do the right thing and send it back to me. I am giving this person one chance to come clean (anonymously or not). If you return my miniature to me, it is done, your conscience will be clear and you can tell your mom she actually did do some good in this world.

Anyone else who is aware of this theft, please help convince the perpetrator to return this miniature to me. I am offering a reward for the return of this miniature to the person who helps me get it back, provided I get information on the subject, if you know of him/her.

The reward I am offering to the person that stole this miniature from me is to not pursue a criminal complaint for Grand Theft as related to the value I have deemed this miniature ($400). This value is based off of my last three commissioned works. Barring any state laws on property value in Pennsylvania, I would then pursue Burglary charges (also a Felony) as the time of the theft means you were not supposed to be in the hall at the time of the theft (unless you were a dealer, in which case it will be even worse for you business-wise)

If you know who is responsible for the theft of this miniature please come forward and help me get it back. Several of my customers enjoyed looking at this particular piece in person and I enjoyed talking about it. When at home in its display case, it sits next to my daughter’s first painted miniature (Cora Munroe LOTM).

Long story short, turn yourself in (anonymously or not) by returning this miniature to me and all is forgiven and I’ll consider it a moment of stupidity with a realization of clarity. Otherwise, if I have to rely on someone ratting you out, I will pursue all legal options to the fullest extension of the law (since that’s what I usually do in my regular day job).

Thanks for a grand Historicon

NEW LOWER PRICES!!!

I have lowered the prices on most of the warrior and soldier packs in all three of our miniature lines (500 Nations, French and Indian War and Improbable Armies) down to our original starting price

$16.00 are down to $12.00 for example.

Now is the time to get hold of all those packs you've been missing.

Frontier Cabin back in stock with a new lower price!

Canoes!

All canoe packs are in stock and ready to ship.

Lots and lots of news

Regulars

I have been having serious issues getting the British and French Regulars out. The delays have been ongoing for several months now and I have decided to suspend production on them until I can get it all sorted out. To everyone who pre-ordered the regulars, please email me so that I have your email address on file. If I have not heard from you by the middle of March, I will be mailing a check to you with a full refund on your pre-order. I have decided to refund or give other options as I don’t want to have a stack of orders that I ‘owe’. It causes to much stress and despite customer’s insistence that they can be patient, I think it sits easier to know where your money’s at.

Comanche Horses

This is another beast I intend to tackle this year. Apart from about 30 sets of mounted Comanche, I have been unable to sell these packs as I wasn’t happy with the horses. There were several issues with the sculpting and the casting, and I decided to have them redone. This hasn’t been easy however, as they seem to get pushed back on the priority list over and over. I will make every attempt to get them done this year, I swear…

Well, there you go. That’s it for now. I’ve got to go to work now :-(
