Had my eye on that for a while but something else new always catches my eye, I think now's the time to grab one and a Jabberwock.

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 thesnotRuntlings 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!

Crikey. It has been a few years since I sold metal models, but my moulds cost me about £80.00.
