Apparently Rackham has filed for the equivelant of bankruptcy protection. Sales of AT-43 have been sluggish and Confrontation sales have dropped steadily. Perhaps the whole pre-paint idea isn't the industry saver it was thought to be...

From what I've read, AT-43 has been well received in the US as a whole, but the European market isn't buying into the pre-paint idea yet, and that's where they have lost most money. It's odd then, that Confrontation (which has never appealed to me) is being redone as a pre-paint.

I really hope they pull through... I want lots of Karmens!

I had heard from various people (not just local) that it was hard to obtain in the US due to distribution problems, but that the sales were good when places could get it.

Also, from the comments by various lawyer types around the interweb, it seems that this is more of a business restructuring that a move towards going out of business. With their new distribution plan using Fantasy Flight, things should pick up.

Fingers crossed we'll all have apes in power armour soon

Their teaming with Fantasy Flight? VERY good move. Big fan...though they just started their own minis skirmish game...Anime something or other...Anima I think.

This is a bummer. I hate to see any business struggle but if anyone sees any good deals on AT 43 sets let me know.

Looking around my CCG sites and found out you can get some great deals (25% off) on AT-43 at

Tr0ll, thanks for the warning about ordering from CCG. Did you mean CCG Armory? I want to make sure I blacklist the right store

Considering the negligible savings by going with them over The Warstore, I'd stick with The Warstore for reliable service. I've never heard of them giving bad service to anyone.
