Current Sales going on

Old School Miniatures are retiring their chaos thugs - https://www.oldschoolminiatures.co.uk/chaos-thugs so they are on sale at £28 - which for 12 makes them more attractive than the usual £50 price point. There are also some human warriors going as well - https://www.oldschoolminiatures.co.uk/the-heroes-human-warriors-of-legend £15 for 6 (normal price £36).

I do like their miniatures, I'd probably be getting the snotRuntlings if I hand't just painted a tonne of them!

As a total aside since we often discuss the cost to produce our beloved metal trinkets - Interestingly in the email it mentions the retirement (of the thugs) is simply down to sale volumes - so they need a new mold which would cost £240 and they only sell about 14 sets of these models a year. That £240 represents two years of profit for this set. So that makes the profit on the set about £8.57 (240 ÷ 28) - which means they cost about £41.43 to produce or about £3.45 per mini. That may well include all the costs of course - original sculpt, etc, etc. So pinch of salt and all!

I suppose if that's all correct they are loosing about £13 per set they sell in their sale, so maybe I shouldn't be encouraging anyone to buy any! ;)
 
£250 for one new mould? that .... sounds odd.. refer them to what's his name (I wanna say chris) at Macrocosm. He only charges £100 for a metal mould
 
The lack of scale is very annoying. I'd been wondering about one or two and found other pages and pictures showing their sizes or mentioning what size base they were on. So nominally I think from that they are 28mm scale, but that doesn't fully help you understand if that's just a very expensive model about 35mm tall or it's a large model ~70mm in "28mm scale" and therefore more reasonably priced!
 
Yeah, the site really doesn’t help itself… Just a few comparison shots/measurements and a more descriptive faction name wouldn’t make it more sellable. Looks like they have regular hard discount sales. If anyone buys some of their minis,please post pics so we can get a better idea! :)

Black Tree Design, allegedly in the process of smartening up their act, have a summer sale on until August 17th. 10% off $100, 15% off $200 & 20% off $300. Anyone giving them another chance?

Tempted, but there's so many minis on my shopping list at the moment, I've been putting off buying the Ral Partha Zombie dragon and Jabberwock since Xmas, Victrix have just dropped their Foot Knights, still need the Barons War 2nd ed starter box...
I may try squeeze in a cheeky lil order though.
