Interesting tidbits:

* Rush and Crush

Be the first across the finish line. The only position that matters is number one!
In a universe set ablaze by a merciless war, any opportunity to relax is precious. The inhabitants of the planet Ava have invented a sport that matches the thrill of their everyday life: fast, dangerous, unpredictable and merciless. A motor sport in which the roar of engines replaces the clash of arms, where speed and guts are all that count: Rushsh n’ Crushsh! Aboard armoured racing cars, daring pilots race on twisted speedways laid with deadly traps. No rules. No second place. Only speed, skill and hunger for glory. No matter what it takes, live life in the fast lane!

* In answer to the cries of the painters and collectors, the RACKHAM LEGENDS range will be launched very soon. New resin figurines will be released on a monthly basis. Original figurines presented previously, such as the FLESH GOLEM, or such as some CADWALLON figurines will be available as of next year.

* Available as of March 2009, the RACKHAM MODEL KITS is a range of plastic model kits, to be mounted and painted. These kits will include some models from the AT-43 universe, such as the NAKOVALNY. Those will be at the same scale as the AT-43 miniatures used in the game. These model kits and the RACKHAM LEGEND figurines will be available in the shops who wish to offer them to their players

* THE FUTURE
We will soon launch an editorial calendar. It’ll be first available in the shops, and then on the CRY HAVOC ONLINE. This document will disclose our projects, our editorial lines and how we will support our games in your favorite shops.

Last but not least, we have the project to buy new licences, enabling us to offer you a large choice of games in different universes.
Thanks to all for your great support and confidence.

There's also some COG previews in there too, and I have to say, they still aren't looking all that good. Different? Sure. Good? No, not really.

The model kits seem like a good idea, especially for conversions. Any idea what scale the car racing minis will be?

*placeholder for snazzy comment regarding the veracity of Rackham's promises*

I really do hope the unpainted kits and Legends will finally be released like they should have been a long time ago. No, really, I do... sometimes, I'm very gullible.

From what Jean Bey has said, same scale as the regular AT-43 vehicles.

Same scale and Nakovalny will be one of the first releases.

What kind of plastic will they be using for the kits? The thing they used for AB Prime, or , God forbid, the rubbery s**t they're using now?

It will most likely be a hard plastic like they use for all the vehicles. I don't know what "rubbery s**t" you're referring to, unless you mean the soft plastic that's in Type 1 and Type 2 Size 2 infantry that needs a decent hot water bath to be somewhat malleable(although I hear the first few runs were softer). All the vehicles are a nice hard plastic that's harder than anything GW produces(more along the lines of Bandai's model kits).

Well theres some good news there for sure.

Unpainted Plastic kits? yes please! thats the reason I have 3 abby primes... Hope its that kind of plastic. ( the bendy plastic Sh*t remark I think it refers to things like the therian claws etc).

I also hope they refill the online store with the current out of stock legends figs ( wich are a lot).

As for the comment they "heard the crying painters"... I think they heard the sound of empty wallets first ehehe

Racing game sounds... dead silly.

Well if they keep their promises this time im a happy bug

True It's all we got.

As a frustrated AT-43 wannabee I'm not doing any celebrating until I see the product on shelves in the UK at realistic prices.

I sympathise with their financial plight, but only so far as I believe it was caused largely by them taking their original fanbase for granted. If they had listened to what their customers were saying and not royally shafted them back in the day, they might not have had such a difficult transition.

That's all water under the bridge. But having tried (and failed, because of lack of availability and premium pricing for mediocre product) to get excited by AT-43, and having seen the kind of unrealistic guff preached by the likes of Mongoose when they got themselves into a hole, I'm not going to get excited until I see real product, on real shelves, in the UK at sensible prices for the UK market. Until then, they can go whistle.

Sweeeet! Fantastic news! I'm pumped about Rackham deciding to release some more real model kits in the future... too bad they moved Confrontation over to all prepaint crap- despite their insistence the difference in detail is staggeringly bad (the plastic Wolfen models are just horrid).

Can't wait to see some big, kick-ass detailed Fire Toads and Kossaks with interior detail.

I really hope a lot of people buy these.

Or at the very least that they kill it quickly if people don't, so they can get back to their customer base. The PPP market.

Yeah the continuous insistence that the detail of PPP would be similar to the metal was really annoying and a bit silly

But I'm there with you... apart from the gorillas horrible flying toasters ( and also incredibly expensive) theres some good machines on at43 for kits.

Speaking of prices I totally agree these horrible painted toys are way WAY to expensive.
